A guide to the GW2 Super Adventure Box activated on April 1st and playable for rest of the month. This guide includes hidden rooms, bauble locations and good digging spots for all zones in World 1.

General Information

How do I access it?

Go to Rata Sum (third level, Tyria). At the very north you will see the entrance to the Super Adventure Box.

Group size

While the recommended group size is 5, you can easily solo all of the content. The last boss in zone 3 may take some practice.

Death and Continue Coin

You are given 5 lives. Each time you die, you use up one life. If you used up all 5, you will be ported into a special chamber where you are tied up and have to face Moto. If you have a Continue Coin, you can hand it to him and continue where you left off. If you don’t and you are not in a group, you will be kicked out to Rata Sum and have to start over (you are given a chance to buy a Continue Coin from him for 50 baubles before this happens).

If you are in a group and don’t have a Continue Coin, you will be kicked out to Rata Sum but you can zone in, die and then get ported to the latest checkpoint your group has activated.

Continue Coin are a random drop from chests and jumping puzzle chests all around Tyria.

Merchant

There is a merchant near the entrance that will sell you items in exchanges for Bauble Bubbles and Baubles, currencies you earn inside the Super Adventure Box.

6. This last hidden room involves some tricky jumps. You need to head to the area just before the black water that instant kill you. There is a hole in the ground with some branches below. Jump to that branch and then hop on to the branches on the right. After a couple jumps, you will need to do this jump where you basically jump from one side of the branch to the other. If you make this jump, the hidden room is within reach (see video if you are not sure).
