Here is a list of all the GW2 jumping puzzles in Guild Wars 2 with video tutorials and instructions on how to complete each of the puzzles.

There are 42 jumping puzzles in GW2 granting 44 achievements under the Jumping Puzzles section of your achievement window. Jumping puzzles vary in jump difficulty and length. I highly recommend that players start out with the easy ones and work their way up. This will eliminate some of the headaches and make the puzzles a lot more enjoyable. Here is my personal recommended order of progression based on my experience ( yours may differ)

Super easy ones – jumping puzzle 101

Mini Dunge/Jumping puzzle hybrid (bring friends)

Fairly easy ones – may take a few tries

Medium difficulty – Best to do them once you get a few jumps under your belt

Lengthy/Elaborate puzzles (prepare to have some time invested)

    Are any of these puzzles “Cool” or “Fun”?

    • Crixus

      Some are cool or fun, some are frustrating.

  • Lunartic

    also, if ur doing the Weyandt’s Revenge, make sure u dont just port away. There is a pirate merchant nearby that sells some lv40 loots, good for appearance.

    • Raven

      I’d say. same your karma for lv80 gears :p

      • raven

        oops. save..

  • adamsbja

    That isn’t anywhere NEAR all of them.

    • Olga Holdsworth

      These are the jumping puzzles that count towards the Explorer achievement; he’s not referring to the Vistas.
