March 2024 and it still works. You really have to pay attention to the video description tho. That backtracking from the checkpoints to the middle of the volcano each time is important. As soon as you are too far away from the initial rewind position you get a loading screen and all checkpoints are cleared. Took me an entire run to figure out what went wrong. You can see a buff once you have unlocked one of the checkpoints, the first checkpoint in this video called "Start" and the next starting with number 1. So for opening the chest and getting reward, you need to have 4 checkpoints checked - even in the video you see 5 of them. So. Yea... it's chalice of tears. You didn't really expect this to make actual sense, right? PS: Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I wouldn't even have tried it out without your guide.
@@meraketh oh, sorry - my fault. The way in the video is not viable with the griffon. I struggled the necessary height even with skyscale. But there might be an alternative entry point that is viable with only springer. It's from a high point far more in the east: watch?v=P6GW2EDwnOM Didn't tried it but could be still legit. Let me know if it worked.
Nice, I just did the mount flight to the top, but wasnt able to get to the mound that your glider landed on, but was able to get close and use the experimental teleportation gun to get to where you landed, in case anyone has the same issue. (TP gun is sold by danka in timberline falls, the asura waypoint)
I was having a bad day, did'n have the rewind thing, so i was like an hour suffering on this shit. Suddenly appear some guy from nowhere and started to guide me, carrying me with mesmers portal. Dude it was crazy, he was super agile on jumping, i fell a lot and he even rescued me. Ty Aske Lis, i couldn asnwer properly because my t isn working.
Thanks for the video. I didn't read all the explanations about the distance forcing loading screen and never understood why you got back at the center. I've lost so much time trying to get here only to realize I didn't have the checkpoints buff at the very end. Will try again soon
oh. my. god. I'm so glad I found this video, the skip is amazing, you don't have to deal with almost any of the bs in this, super easy to do for the return to achievement, you're a blessing, thank you
I just finished this today and also getting the tokens thanks to a good samaritan name tori, he/she said she run that chalice of tears everyday to help people such a good soul
I did this a few times before i realized what was happening and why the checkpoints weren't triggering for me. If you are too far from the rewind point, you go through a loading screen when you return to your point. If you do, you'll erase your checkpoint and have to start over. A hint here if you're getting the checkpoint credits are when you get that littlei blue glow when you reach one. If you don't see them when you touch a checkpoint, you have either gone out of order or lost your last checkpoint.
30/10/2023 - Dont know if only happens to me, but after getting checkpoints 1 and 2 with no trouble, and having checkpoint 2 buff up, I can't activate checkpoint 3. EDIT: I reset all checkpoints and tried again. This time to get the 3rd checkpoint I avoided stepping on the checkpoint at the place he jumps from to get it.
For some reason I always fail the glide at 4:56 and when I fell I just died, no checkpoint revive. Why did they have to include this with the "return to" achievements for the legendary? This JP is just pure cancer.
Trying to do this alwful JP and found your video. I was doing exactly how you show, but, sometimes, when I use the PPR, the game shows a loading screen and I lost the checkpoints. Do you have some tips for that? Tryied for two hours and I just can't do thi anymore... my worse experience in game for two years.
Thank you! i tried this but i didnt have the recall device and right when i was about to give up a mesmer appeared in chat and offered cheap taxi so i took it xD i just want my leg trinket out the way lmao
As the description says, make sure to backtrack to the center before porting back, else if you're far enough away, it'll trigger the loading screen and erase your progress.
You're taking such weird routes sometimes XD At 3:50 or so instead of jumping and gliding at the front of the rock to find that pixel to land on, just go around on the right and glide with a left turn. And the 3:33 rock, you can go up on the left until a little bit below the ledge visible on the right, and just hop over onto the ledge, instead of messing around on the right side of the rock the entire time. Also I thought the rewinder had basically no distance limit?
The rewinder does not have a limit but you want to avoid triggering a loading screen at all costs. If you do get a loading screen all your checkpoints will get wiped and you have to start over. Luckily we know that these trigger when you travel over 5000 units. And the center of the volcano is about 4000 units away from where you start dropping down so to be safe you always want to travel back to its center
FYI ppl: The position rewinder now wipes check points, whether you're trying to use this method or trying to make it easier to complete the "official" way
Nothing has changed and the shortcut just works exactly the same as it did before. The Prototype Position Rewinder does NOT clear your checkpoints, loading screens do. Make sure you follow the steps in the description: always backtrack towards the center of the volcano after every checkpoint to avoid loading screens (these will clear your checkpoint progress)
Man, I hope they don't nerf it, this skip is magnificent, specially now we'll have the legendary armory. Thanks so much for your tips @that_shaman! Edit: I did it flawlessly, done in less than 10 min while watching the video, thank you again :)

Can you do it with griffon?
@@meraketh Mounts aren't allowed in the jumping puzzle area entirely. 🤪
@@KaterSchnurz I meant the beginning part where he uses the skyscale to skip half of the puzzle. Can you do that with the griffon too?
@@meraketh oh, sorry - my fault.
The way in the video is not viable with the griffon. I struggled the necessary height even with skyscale.
But there might be an alternative entry point that is viable with only springer. It's from a high point far more in the east:
watch?v=P6GW2EDwnOM
Didn't tried it but could be still legit. Let me know if it worked.
@@KaterSchnurz Thank you, I'm gonna check it out.
I still have nightmares of this JP. And the Mursaat tokens hidden in there. Nice to see there is a somewhat more sensible alternative now.
there is separate video for tokens, it takes only 5min to get all 5

This happened to me also :-/
Still works as of 2/6/2023. Thank you very much for this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Finding out I would have to redo this for Return to Ember Bay made me die a little inside... this saved me hours of my life
oh. my. god. I'm so glad I found this video, the skip is amazing, you don't have to deal with almost any of the bs in this, super easy to do for the return to achievement, you're a blessing, thank you

Rewinder point cannot work more for it. But portal mesmer working a lot.
Awesome cheese. Still works as of today and works with mesmer ports too. Make sure to read the video description!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this. I was dreading having to do this horror again.
This is just DOPE!! no words to thank you enough!! goD bless you!
BTW: Music track is GW2 OST: Taimi's Theme
Still works, Oct 2024. Thanks for the guide.
Thank goodness for Prototype Position Rewinder and your video !!!
30/10/2023 - Dont know if only happens to me, but after getting checkpoints 1 and 2 with no trouble, and having checkpoint 2 buff up, I can't activate checkpoint 3.

What is the name of background music?
This please!!!!!
2024, still works
A real time saver after completing the full run a day before only to finish without the proper checkpoints!
For some reason I always fail the glide at 4:56 and when I fell I just died, no checkpoint revive. Why did they have to include this with the "return to" achievements for the legendary? This JP is just pure cancer.
Useful as always. Thanks so much
@that_shaman please, let me know what music is playing in this video. My hyperfixation isn't letting me let this go ;-;
GW2 OST: Taimi's Theme
@@KaterSchnurz ayyyy, thanks hero
I wish I could give this tip 2 thumps up. Thank you.
Awesome shortcut it works and love it!!!! 10/22
so are you counting checkpoint start as 1? cuz i only have 4 when you have numbered 5. and its confusing me
I too ended up doing this! So much easier to read than the terror of discerning skulls & crevices
Can't get high enough with a griffon...have you tried it ?
How do you fly like that. My grifon barely flaps its wings...

@@CaptainMarder I ended up giving up and paying for a mesmer to help me finish. I just couldn't, I spent a day on it. Very frustrating.
so apparently what you have to do after every check point is go back towards the center of the volcano.
Just did this , still works thank you!
Thank you kindly for this. Made this horrible thing relatively easy.
I can confirm 22nd/Apr/2023 that it works. Thank you so much
EDIT: I'm dumb, loading screens reset checkpoints.
thank god I'm done with this torture. thanks for the vid
Thank you! i tried this but i didnt have the recall device and right when i was about to give up a mesmer appeared in chat and offered cheap taxi so i took it xD i just want my leg trinket out the way lmao
4/9/23 still working ty vm bro ur a god!
thank you so much, worked great.
oh my gosh, this is a life (and pain) saver 💖
man, i was avoiding this to last place when doing aurora. your guide saved me lots of time and sanity. thank you
Is this possible without a rewinder, like for say, spectral walk of a necro?
I know for sure you can do it with mesmer portals as well, but you have to place them in the lava to get back up (which will most likely kill you)
Still works as of September 7th, 2024!
Nov 2024, still works!
no longer works as of july 2024, tried it twice and checkpoints dont register
As the description says, make sure to backtrack to the center before porting back, else if you're far enough away, it'll trigger the loading screen and erase your progress.
Cool, but In order for this to work you better know where those checkpoints are and don’t make any mistakes.
yup, or you'll hafta do it all over again as I am =(
Works as of 27 July 2022
Still works as of July 2024.
Thanks very much! You da best!
I would hug you if that wasn't so weird for you and for me :p This shorcut is gold!
Still works as of 11/20/21. Thank you for the video glorious Khan-Ur!
Thanks a bunch!! Really nifty
4th January 2023 still works ty
becareful not to get hit by those lava, it causes me to lose flight endurance and fall. wtf!
Ty so much. I did it on 07/03/2023 and it still works

I love you, this is a great shortcut. I hate you, I'm already done with Ember bay.
thanks god for this video, such a time save
Thanks for the video.
Worked, thank you!
still works 1/12/23
this jumping puzzle gave me a terminal illness
Thank You !
Thx! Works 2024
Thanks a lot
legend
omg thx alot!!!
i use this video with mesmer portal and done fast all JP ^^
This is so good, thank you!
Thats the easy way? WTB mesmer
Fantastic. Still works 5/22
Thank you! saved me a lot of time :D
Spend hours at 2th spawn point. Then me and someone els got help. JP are just the worst designet ingame stuff this game have.
