[Guide] Uninstanced Sunwell Plateau

[Dankone]

You will need the following:

Dark portal edit (From campfire or duel flag, either works.) (Attached at bottom, I do NOT take credit for the creation of the patch.)
Flint and Tinder, Simple Wood, and cooking (For making fires)
**OPTIONAL: Slow fall
**OPTIONAL: Rocket boots or other form of speed increase (Mounts dont work)

After trying every trick in the book to get onto the platform that the archers shoot at you from in the bombing run, I concluded that the invisible walls were too high. (I even tried rocket boots and parachute from the top of Magister's Terrace on top of a dark portal xP). I also tried invisible wall removals, which did nothing to Sunwell Plateau's or Brutallus' wall (However, it removed Magister's Terrace outer invisible walls.)

After a failed attempt at getting in via Brutallus, I went west instead of east because of the annoying frost bolt the sirens do. I came across the bridge between two parts of the MT, and an idea came into my mind.

(Sorry for the large images)

First off, here is where you need to be.


When you make the fire, face this way


You should end up with this.




Once you're up, face this way


You should end up with this.


Climb the stairs and stand on the sides and go up on the walk. (NOTE: Do not go to the tower to the left or you WILL die. The object is bugged, there is no collision.


Once you go right and go as far as you can, you should be here. (Brutallus' place.) Jump as you go down, or you run the risk of falling through the world. The rubble has no collision.


Once you're down, go left and climb these stairs.


This is as far as you can go without the two optional things mentioned above. If you have boots and slowfall, however, you can go on.


If you have boots, activate them, jump off, wait a few seconds, and then hit parachute to hit the -bottom- platform, to save some extra trouble. (If you hit above, go down the stairs and there's a second doorway. It will be unfinished. Go the the very left and aim for the grass to your right.)


Please note, that the ramp is bugged and if you go on it or even near the vase you will fall into the world and die.


Enjoy getting whispers from the people doing the bombing run!

I actually think I figured out how to get up there by not using the Campfire stuff. I just have to get the reciepe for Rocket Boots Lite first:<

Anyhow, you don't have a link for that Campfire --> Dark Portal thingy?:>

[Tengu]

Really interesting pictures. Too bad you have to resort to modelediting if you want to explore nowadays =´(

[mdg19]

Heh, I can't seem to find my Camp Fire -> Dark Portal edit on my computer, wouldn't happen to have a link to the edit?

[xunmadex]

awesome! kickin ass!

[Dankone]

Campfire-->DP added to OP.

[CactuarInk]

How do you actually edit so Campfire changes to Dark portal? Is it just to place the patch-o file in the Data folder, not in any subfolder?
