Challenging chest in Matus-Akin Egg Mine?

Minyassa

I spent some time trying to get this and had to give up. I'm usually pretty good at climbing and jumping up stuff, but could not figure out the path to get to this one, and leaping across from the cliff above didn't work either. How do you get up there to get this chest?

It is a quite long sidepath, which starts two or three rooms back.

Whaaat you can get to that chest?!! I hate that chest! Could never figure out how to get to it. I'll have to try again sometime.

Wow, I've never seen that chest-- probably because I haven't done the delve since before getting the Antiquities passive that makes chests glow. I'm going to have to start keeping an eye out for it from now on, and look for the passage leading to that spot. Thank you for posting that picture!

Oooh, thanks, going to go find that now and then post a map thing.

Could not find any paths that allow access to that platform. The room that you can jump down from to go back into that first room does not allow you to reach that platform by any means other than jumping, which I tried more than once and with my Wild Hunt ring to help me get a faster running start; it's just too wide a gap and my best jump still bounced me off the lower edge of the platform. The passage north of that room is actually lower than the first room and filled with lava, and is a dead end. I found a couple of little partial tunnels in the corridor leading up to that last room, but they were also dead ends. Which way do you mean, @Sarannah?

Here's the delve map, with the chest marked, and the three places I checked out that didn't work.

I've gotten the chest several times in the last few years. You can do it with any character by walking toward the platform from the ledge at the right angle. If you miss tho...

Thinking about this some more, I may have this delve confused with another kwama mine.

I'lll check it out when I have time! (after maintenance)

So, I did have this mine confused with another kwama mine. But I did easily manage to get up there, it took one jump. No speed bonusses used, besides running.

The first image has the pointer aimed at from where I jumped.

Goodluck!

Thanks! It's clearly not a stamina thing, either, I'll just have to keep trying. xD
