GW2 Lost Shores 'Skipping Stones' Shortcut - SPOILERS

[Diremongoose]

If, like me, you didn't find the Mad King's Tower enjoyable, here's a on how to relieve some frustration by skipping half of the puzzle. I do recommend you try it on your own first.

Start here. See the Lion Point Waypoint to the left.

This is the tricky part. Stand on this tiny little 'invisible' ledge and you can get up.

Like so

Turn around and you're ready to continue.

I found this puzzle by tons of people starting here. didn't even know there was a first half till later

The timer element is what got me on the clock tower. If I can take my time to plan my route and line up my jumps, I have a lot less trouble.

Skipping Stones is a bit more forgiving than Clock Tower in that respect, since you have to stop on ledges partway through to collect yourself and wait for the cycle to renew.

I ended up doing this without the shortcut, by the way. It's not that bad once you're wise to its tricks.
