4. Griffonfall: Hidden at the bottom of a secret waterfall.

Go from Southwatch Waypoint and near the location for the adventure A Fungus Among Us (on top of a big tree you need to jump on some fungus to get to) you will find an entrance to a little alcove with a waterfall at the end.

5. Chak Hollow: Overlooking a razed Nuhoch village

From Chak Hollow village, get on the roof of the village. If you done story act 2 you will know how to reach it pretty easily since it is in the same location as one of Taimi’s Hologram

6. Morwood Wilds: Behind the vine wall, but be aware that timing is everything!

The vine wall blocking access to this area only opens when the meta event is at Outpost:Southwatch stage so you will need to act fast if you see this meta event is in this stage.

7. Bristleback Chasm: Across the falls, stuck on a tree

This mask is on a branch/tree structure sticking out from the wall.

9. The Falls: Check every south-side tree branch leading down to the falls.

Head from Southwatch Waypoint and enter a small tunnel that leads you to The Falls area. After you pass through the tunnel take a left and climb up the fungus pads to get to this exalted mask.

10. The Falls: Somewhere behind the expansion wall of water

Go to the very bottom floor of The Falls and you will find a secret cave. Enter the cave and go past the two asurans you will find a path leading up to an area behind them which has a skeleton with a hat. The mask is located next to the skeleton.

11. Westwatch Patch: Within the upper walls of the golden ooze cavern

Head to the ground level from Wanderer’s Waypoint and go through the hole in the ground for the Toxic Hog hero challenge. The path behind this hole will lead you to the cave where you can find the exalted mask on the ledge.

13. Northwatch Descent: On a southwestern ledge with an amazing view of the outpost.

Getting to this one is a bit tricky. You glide from this spot not far from the waypoint by a pack of raptors and then stop at the branches in between if possible to recharge your endurance before reaching the rock/branch structure where the mask is located.

14. Maguuma Shallows: On an upper perch near where creatures grow big.

Go up the tree branch with fungus pads and get across the lake. The mask is behind the waterfall on a ledge so you will need to glide down to it.

15. Burnisher Quarry: Within the waters at the top of the waterfall

You need either Nuhoch Wallows or Ley Line Gliding (or a mesmer with either to port you) to get to the Burnisher Quarry area. Once you are inside, follow the tunnel up and once you are at the top drop down to the top of the waterfall below.

19. Balthazar’s Rest: On a rock with a clear view of the temple door

Use the bouncing mushroom to get up to a ledge and then catch a series of 3 updrafts before turning around to land on that ledge with the mask. A single updraft will almost carry you to the ledge but it is not enough so you will want at least a second updraft.

24. Lastgear Standing: On the outskirts of the cave entrance.

This one is right outside the cave you need to enter for the hero point. You will need to have either experimental rifle or lean gliding to get there. If you don’t know how to get there, watch the video as it takes a bit long to explain.The route starts from Westwatch Waypoint.

25. Arrowhead Vale: Overlooking the northern entrance to Tarir

Near the hero challenge and not too far from the waypoint is a big tree you can climb up via the fungus pads to get this last mask.

  • zeth006

    Dulfy, just wanted to give ya shoutout and thanks for doing these guides. Really makes many of these scavenger hunts and achievements doable. It was also rather funny running into you in Verdant Brink.

  • UrMom306

    Any specific masteries we need for this?

    • Bouncing mushrooms, updraft gliding are the two main ones. There is one you need Nuhoch Wallows or leyline gliding but you can bypass if you have help from a mesmer with it.

      • Misolavera

        #15 is reachable with lvl 2 of gliding (maybe could with lvl 1 but I’m not sure).

        I’ve done all of them with gliding and bouncing mushrooms only,

  • sil1902

    24. Lastgear Standing: On the outskirts of the cave entrance. <- This one works with gliding lvl 3 too

    • Pre Nism

      This no longer works. They changed the platform. Not sure how to reach it.

  • TroIIoIol

    #24 can be done with basic gliding. The jump you are supposed to do at 21:23 video time can be done by walking back all the way to the highest point of that vine/tree (left back corner) and jumping slightly diagonally to the lowest bit of the platform. Takes some practice admittedly. Nevertheless, great guide as always, thanks to it I just mined some Lumps of Aurilium in my home instance.

  • Yasin

    how the hell we do 15 i dont get it

    • Tachi

      It’s south from there. I think it’s just above the skritt settlement.

  • Keorl

    Ley line gliding is not necessary for 24th. I started gliding from the same point, ended on that trunk just a little under the point where you’re supposed to land. After that I simply glided again on the right side of the trunk and landed on a branch that let me reach the mask. Not hard. I have gliding 5 but I’m not sure it’s necessary.

    • Matti

      I tried 24 now and I can’t find a way to get tru, the rock formation dulfy uses has been made a lot higher, without the green leaves on it anymore. Somenoe says dulfy got a new vid but can’t find it.

  • zeth006

    Oh and Dulfy, #15’s area is reachable via an alternate way:

  • Ardenwolfe

    I love you, Dulfy. 🙂

  • James

    what gs are you using in that #7 walkthrough, Dulfy?

  • Hahaha

    The 16th is the hardest part for asian guys! It seems Anet is happy.

  • Viraxel

    18 needs Southpost open as well.

  • [Bee]

    Nr. 6 – I did the event, went in, and voila, that last exalted mask just wasn’t there for me. Love you ArenaNet… And yea, I only needed the Morwool Wilds one according to my achievement tab. :S

  • Lilian Halcombe

    The is a second find the X achievement in the zone, Treetop Retriever, which is to find 10 lost priory explorers.

  • Terezka Yumi Sabóová

    18 is Bugged? 🙁

    • Calanthe

      There are vine barriers to areas like Morwood Wilds it seems unless certain event chains are progressed far enough. I’m currently searching for another way into 18.

      • With a Springer you can jump over the vines if they’re in the way.

  • CaelSkielsthear

    #24 is no longer a viable solution. They patched the shortcut pillar to be taller. Ley Line Gliding is now required, far I as I can see.

    • No ley line gliding is not required, advanced gliding is enough. Just get high enough from **Wanderer’s Waypoint** and fly straight to the mask.

      • AerosAtar

        There is nowhere that you can “get high enough” that I have found. Ley Line Gliding does seem to be required now (from the same point as the ‘short cut pillar’ was previously.

        • AerosAtar

          I stand corrected. It *is* possible (just) with Lean Techniques, but it requires some very fiddly jumps/gliding to hit the right spots. (jump from the tree where Dulfy used the rifle to the slightly higher platform on the right, then glide across to just below where you *should* be, then jump around the tree and glide to one of the narrow branches on the left, then manoeuvre your way to the ledge).

        • Well it was possible @ the time i wrote that, because i neither had ley line gliding at that point, nor did i have any shiny consumables.

    • Dan Gudy

      I just did #24 with only Updraft Use. At 21:20 in the video (just before Dulfy uses the rifle), go up all the way on that tree trunk on the side facing the chasm (just below the lower of the two leaves growing out of the trunk). From there it is just possible to glide to the knothole in the tree across the chasm. Hop up that tree on the left side of the knothole until you’re standing where it forks into two branches. From there it’s a short glide across to the thick branch clinging to the rocks. Carefully make your way towards your destination (visibility is extremely poor due to the foliage), jumping up where possible and generally sticking to the cliff face on the left. You’ll come out on the rocks above the cave entrance to the HP.

      • George Smith

        thanks very much this method absolutely did the trick for me today

      • Tom

        An old thread but just to let anyone who finds this on Google know I did this just now without advanced gliding and it worked.

  • Iason

    Hello dulfy, I found a way for “24-Lastgear standing” , without the need of experimental rifle or lean gliding to get there… I made a video on youtube just in case to prove it 🙂

    • Mariette Peck

      you sir…are my hero. Thank you! I got it your way

  • felinerx

    Alternate route for 19 that’s easier imo. Just one bouncing mushroom and a short walk 🙂 https://youtu.be/sNujNaBWU-o

  • Malte

    Is the mask #21 bugged because of an invisible wall?

    • Summer Blue

      I’m having the same problem. Can’t even jump over it with tier-3 springer mount.

      • 21 may still be bugged as described, but if you have a griffon and go to #20 you can fly across onto the branch, then fly up onto the ledge ok.

  • #19 can be done with one updraft and a Griffon if you’ve got the Soaring Rescue (Griffon 1 Mastery). You ride the updraft, mount and fly over, very fast and easy.
