Checkpoint 2->3 | World 1 - Zone 2 (Dark Woods) GW2: Super Adventure Box Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Get single Bauble from the root below second checkpoint and another one after series of water lilies.
Bauble on the root and on another site of little puddle.
After collecting both Baubles you can enter inside the tree in front and get Baubles in there...
Tree, through which you will repeatedly get to higher levels..
or go to the right and do quite hard (but doable) jump to get to the hidden shortcut.
Series of jumps leading to Zone 2 shortcut.
If you want to get all Baubles and all the achievements leave the shortcut for now and start from the trunk of a tree in front: in the middle you can collect 5 Baubles while climbing on the leaves. Once you reach the top the most convenient way will be to get the Baubles guarded by the snake on the platform on right.
Another important landmark at this locaction: Bauble guarded by the snake.
From here jump "the leaf up" and you can start to back away to the trunk from which you came.
The road to a fork with the two trampolines.
In a moment you will see two mushrooms on the left and right side of said trunk. Starting from the left mushroom jump up and start to go back.
Two mushroom caps.
After jumping with trampoline to a higher level go towards the high wall, then along it, until you will see a lot of spiders and 8 Baubles forming an arrow on the bottom left.
Path to a hidden clearing.
Path to a hidden clearing.
Glade with 8 Baubles and lots of spiders.
The spiders can be dealt with fairly quickly. Bombs ease the matter, and after breaking barrels standing between spiders you will get "immortality" for a short while.
After collecting Baubles from the ground you can head for the mushroom that will shoot you again to the high wall (arrow formed from Baubles pointed to the trampoline). Pay attention to the other side of the wall, collect 3 Baubles on the leaves and do not miss the monkeys, they may have a key. After entering the trunk and climbing up a bit you'll find fourth Bauble.
Higher level between checkpoints 1 and 2.
Entrance to the high trunk from the location between checkpoints 1 and 2.
It's almost the end of this section, but before going any further look up: on top of a big trunk there are 6 Baubles to collect!
6 Baubles on top of big tree trunk.
After collecting all the Baubles you can jump down and go through checkpoint 2 again. Go through a series of water lilies, but this time do not go into the trunk of a tree to go to canopy level, just stay on the ground and go forward along the left wall. After few turns you will see single Bauble between the trees in front of you, take it and standing here turn left, you will see a small corridor followed by another bee mini-boss.
Entrance to mini-boss in Zone 2.
Strategy as previously: one person stuns with whip, the rest of group attacks, or if you fight alone hit alternately with whip and stick. After the fight, take care of the honeycomb and return to where you picked up last Bauble.
Another big bee to beat.
From here, continue the journey along the left wall, in a moment you'll see a monkey on a large square branch lying on the ground, next to it is another shop and big rock with Bauble on it. Enter the store (same items as previous shop), if you don't have a key, consider the purchase of one, because soon you will find the chest.
After collecting bauble in front of the shop do not leave this area yet, instead throw a bomb at the wall to the left of the rock, there is a hidden room with some Baubles in it.
Bauble, shop and hidden room.
When you exit the area where store was you will notice that you have done circle. Good, because now you have to go back to the top.
Remember platform with single Bauble guarded by the snake? Go there and jump to the left (instead of right as you jumped to reach the mushrooms) to get the chest, and 20 Baubles in it.
Chest near platform with single Bauble guarded by the Snake.
Go back on the same platform (with Bauble and snake) and head towards the mushrooms, but this time select the right trampoline, bounce from it to get another Bauble on leaves before hollow in the tree.
Right mushroom.
Bauble on leaves before hollow in the tree.
After collecting Bauble go inside the tree and jump on top of it from where you will see another Bauble on the leaf to collect.
Bauble on big leaf after jumping from top of tree trunk.
Now you can head for the checkpoint. The simplest way is to get to a platform with a snake and Bauble (again) > left mushroom (again) > the leaves, the grassy islet, and again on the leaves:
After left trapoline jump head towards grassy islet.
Leaf, islet, leaf again, and checkpoint is reached.
Just before checkpoint collect single bauble, but if you want to get all the Baubles and all the achievements you will have to use earlier mentioned shortcut.
