Mastery Required : Basic Gliding
Difficulty: Soloable. Hero Point guarded by Adolescent Electric Wyvern and Adolescent Fire Wyvern. Both of which can be soloed.

2. Nightthistle Blossom Hero Point (Creeping Crevasse)

Mastery Required : Basic Gliding
Difficulty: Mordrem Champion with 4 Mordrem guards. Needs 2 players minimum. Difficulty depends on the type of champion that spawns.

3. Ancient Fighting Pit Hero Point (Shrouded Ruins)

Mastery Required : Basic Gliding
Difficulty: Soloable. It is basically something you interact to consume.
Directions: Go right from the Shrouded Ruins Waypoint and keep going up the stairs.Can use glider to get between the buildings.

4. Nuhoch Alchemical Energy Hero Point

Mastery Required : Basic Gliding
Difficulty: Soloable, simply commune
Directions: Glide east from Pact Encampment waypoint and drop down in the crevice below. You will find an opening in the cliff with a Nuhoch Stomper.

5. Abyssal Depths Hero Point

Mastery Required : Basic Gliding
Difficulty: Soloable. It is basically something you interact to consume.
Directions: Go left from Pact Encampment waypoint, drop all the down to the very bottom, almost near the roots. There is little cubby hole on the cliff wall.

Difficulty: Need 2-3 players minimum. Spawns champion vampiric mob that siphons health.
Directions: Take the chopper at Pact Encampment waypoint during nighttime to get to the canopy where the Legendary Wyvern is. Run past his platform and use the updraft to glide to an airship where you will find the hero challenge at the top of the airship. There are ways to get to this place during the daytime but it is easier to access it at night time. Additionally, updraft isn’t required as there are ways to get to it by regular gliding although it is not as easy.

8. Ancient Tree Hero Point (West of Coztic Grounds)

Number 10, Security Console Hero Point, does not require night time or a chopper. Just go to Faren’s Flyer Waypoint, proceed up the switchback until you climb up a large metal cylinder. From the top of that, glide over to that giant root you see on the mini map that leads northwest.Run across the root, then glide down to the platform where the hero point is.

  Thanks for the info, I have corrected it. Will need to redo the video as well
F.A.

Would like to point out that #8 is soloable if you have stealth, or if you buy an Ash Legion Spy Kit from Plains of Ashford\ It’s possible to stand right next to the point without touching the poison
Dean

Thank you so much for this, you’re a lifesaver 😀

HP #7 also does not require the chopper if you go through the Shrouded Ruins Waypoint. It would instead require you to have unlocked the bouncing mushrooms mastery as well as updraft though.
- Josh Hicks
  
  I was able to do it as well with out updraft or mushrooms. It requires some gliding, and hoping around, but very doable ad long as you get to the canopy, you can do it :). Easier to do it you way though.
  - Lakshmi
    
    I found a pretty easy way to do it with just gliding. Take the chopper in the far NE corner of the zone. Cross the platform you are dropped onto to the side closest to the HP and just glide over.
nesogra

Thank you Dulfy 🙂
Lief

You are my #1 hero.
Blizt

The Hero Point at Skyclaw Peaks actually doesn’t need updraft. To the east of the airship there is a canopy called Last Leap, if you go to its left and climbed onto a highest point, you can glide from there to the airship (just about enough, so ppl with high ping might have some issue).
WantedOne

You can do #1 without gliding.

There are steps you can jump up the side of the mountain. (Southwest of the point I believe is where I jumped up.)
Cenutrio

Thanks Dulfy, you’re inspirational.
Ardenwolfe

Thank you as always. This saved me so much time.

In fact #8 requires resistance to itzel poison (itzel mastery IV) : it makes the vines go away as you walk on them.
- Kulvar
  
  My guildies and I did it without resistance to itzel poison. It helps sure, but not required. Just kill the frogs from the other side (grap skills help). Then fly, use the updraft, go back and land just before the vines. Come close slowly. You’ll be able to take the point without touching any vine.
  - Lyho
    
    Yeah what I meant is that it is supposed to require it 🙂

11 is not soloable. Spawns a champion and two regular mobs
Glenn Cassidy

#2 is soloable – its only a vet.. with some add’s.. take out the add’s first … much easier with condi based character
Carl

Attention: Number 6 is bugged. They changed it so it’s a commune hp but it’s off from the marker on the map and when u click it it says you completed it allready but on the map it appears as you didn’t.
- Doghouse
  
  Numbers 6 and 11 are currently messed up. If you’re showing one of them as not complete, go do the OTHER one.
Samy

What is the best way to gain experience and can I do that in the normal map(Tyria) as well ?
- Dulfy
  
  Nope, only HoT maps. Basically just do events and kill mobs that havn’t been killed in a while for added bonus xp.
  - Samy
    
    Is there a difference between the events during the day and the ones during the night? Because from what I have seen, people rarely fill the night progression bar.
Raivis Carriedo

i did #11 like 5 times today but it didnt count for exploration
- RichGonga
  
  Try doing #6 instead, I had the same problem and tried #6 (since they swapped places) and it finally gave me 100%
jose ortega

was wondering if you could make a guide on how to get all the point of interest, I know its a lot of them but would be helpful, thx.
Doghouse

With only basic gliding, I tried the jump shown to number 6 a dozen times or more without success – missed every time (sometimes by so little that I got my glide cancelled). Frankly, it was driving me nuts. I finally got the necessary distance by jumping from up by the mastery point.
- Gameldar
  
  Thanks for showing me that option – I tried a few times and gave up because I was so lagged my glider was only deploying after falling for a while and I’d end up below the height before I had a chance!
  - Doghouse
    
    You’re welcome. Definitely WAY easier from up there. I’ve now done it on about 10 characters, and only missed it once (when I accidentally cancelled my glider straight after the jump). And once you get Lean Techniques and a little extra glide speed on demand, it becomes downright trivial.
Rowie Formaran

This was very helpful! 🙂
Koyomi K

how do I get to use my glider?
Colloy

#10 is soloable on minions necro 😛
- neek
  
  #2 and #10 is soloable on Ranger with pet rotation.
jwillbr

10 the way point is contested 25 hours a day. stupid GW2. dumbest addon to any game.
Ted Herman

There is also a Nuhoch Wallow that goes from Scout Adan to #5.
LaNae

Number 6 is listed as soloable and two or more players.
alccode

The directions for #1 are completely wrong. You have to go SOUTH from the waypoint, west across the bridge, and up the cliffside steps to get to the hero point. (If you follow the directions and go west, you fall to a lower level and can’t get up. There is no “little hill” – the elevation difference is huge.)
Raoul Lartist

did number 2 solo, was down and threw rocks at the last remain enemy. Defeated him in the last micro second… that was close
