Here is our official video guide for every jumping puzzle in Guild Wars 2, no matter how hidden or off the path they may be. Now you can find them all in one place for easy navigation to your specific location. Jumping Puzzles are open-world quests that require the player to find the right jumping route to a hidden chest. They are sometimes guarded by veteran enemies and are often part of mini-dungeons. They currently reward an Explorer achievement for completing each individual jumping puzzle, usually combined with a chest. Like I said earlier each jumping puzzle is separated according to its location so just click so on a puzzle in your area and you will be brought to the video.

Just wanted to let you guys know I found a jumping puzzle not on this list. It is in Lions arch in the North East corner called postern ward, near that waterfall. It is in a cave with some ogres. It is called Urmaug’s secret.
Thanks updating now with a few others.
Just did Craze’ Folly for the first time. I was able to open the first small chest but when I got to the veteran cave troll and the splendid chest it was already open and I was unable to interact with it. lvl 58 engineer
Jumping puzzle not on the list. Fireheart Rise – pig iron mine. go up ramps, small chest up near a shaman guy. then keep going till you get to where the chain with the boxes are, then jump across all of them (about 12 of them or so) till you get to the other island, fight an elite with horrid knockback, if you fall off have to restart again. After kill him you get a big chest!!!!
