When you think of hard content in Final Fantasy XIV, Jumping Puzzles are definitely not the first things to ‘jump’ to mind… Ok even I admit that one was bad. Regardless, though not being immediately thought of, Jumping Puzzles are still infamous among the FFXIV player base, none more so than the Kugane Jumping puzzle. Despite being horrible at jumping puzzles or platforming of any kind, I decided to attempt every jumping puzzle I knew of in Final Fantasy XIV all in one night, and that sanity-draining adventure is what brought this video into existence.

I think kugane tower took me like 4 hours to do. I was determined. But I hated myself afterwards, I wanted to do it before wrapping up stormblood and I hated myself, but it felt poetic standing on top of the place you saw yugiri and gosetsu on right before the stormblood finale.
First? idk is this still a thing? (I know not first)
I admit it I cheated I've spent more than 10 hours on this and couldn't do it legit
hoo boy, the kugane tower took me months to climb, with barely any training between attempts, but one day i did it and then never did it again
did u do the one at the inn in Kugane too?
yes… u can get to the top of the in and its a jumpingpuzzle
juuuust incase u wanna do another one 🙂
I also use my mouse for movement…a friend and I cheesed the tower though and frog hopped our way up with blue mage and a ton of rezing.
I have felt your pain, and I have rage quit many times. Congratulations on your win.
A tip: Aim your camera at the wall and jump sideways
Lets you judge distances better and gives a 2D platformer feel
Oh i feel that "not getting the loot after 1000 runs" part… So much… I ran Paglth'an at least 5 times a day dince release trying to get the Caster top.. It dropped ONCE and my friend took it.. Ugh i hate loot system at end game
Mario wahoo
I like having the title as your partner in crime. ^3^
You, sir… like to hurt yourself… Since I give up with the Gold Saucer JPs at least every 2nd attempt… well… Moving on.
To make a long story short: I' highly suspectible to frustration so JPs are the one thing in any game I avoid like the Plague. And you're demonstration just confirmed that (who am I kidding, I'll go up there sooner than doing Zadnor >.< ) 😀
Nice closing words btw XD
I see you're the same as me. I hate jumping puzzles. I had to use Blue Mage and someone else ressing my self-destructive arse to get the freaking sightseeing points XD
There's one more tower even harder than kugane: the moonfire faire tower
10:37 I felt that in my soul lol
I have the same control scheme and yeah it's not the best for JPs
You have my pity, friend. And my amusement.
And than you search at youtube for the vid where one guy does the whole tower in like 40 seconds xD
As someone who's climbed the tower 4 times now, I can confirm- nothing infuriated me more in this game more.
But that sight, specially during sunset, is so worth it for gposes.
@14 minutes I felt his soul die, crumble. It felt bad
"For a low effort stream that's not likely to break 1000 views." looks at the view count 1200.
I think ya made more than 1000 views, ma Partner in Climb. ;P
There’s a secret world of player made jump puzzles using housing and boundary breaking. It’s wild.
I cant even think how you can play this game by moving with only the mouse
you should go beat your brain against maplestory jumping puzzles LOL
I did the climp too, i took a screenshot on top, i jumped down, landed on the lantern and loged off…i hated that game for good 3 hours…
Housing Area Jumping (Extreme) : Jumping to the top of building
Kugane Tower (Savage) : Jumping to the top of tower and get sightseeing log point
Kugane Tower (Ultimate) : Jump down from the top of tower into sightseeing log point over the lamp on the street
Him: talking about how his controls are weird or something
Me on PS4 using a controller: 👁👄👁
I understand your pain. I still can’t win Kugane’s jumping puzzle. The closest I got was like 2 jumps away from the victory before I missed and fall into the abyss of hopelessness…
4 years later and I still don't get that lamppost lookout. I just… gave up. And no one can judge me.
Just wait till the summer event that usually has a jumping puzzle with a hard mode stacked on top
Jumping puzzles is why I hate Dungeons and Dragons Online, and Destiny 2.
try using controller instead of kb/mouse for jumping puzzles, it’s still hard but significantly easier for me than using on/mouse. I use my controller exclusively for golden saucer leap of faith and other jumping puzzles. I can now do the Kugane climb pretty consistently but the lamppost jump still very taunting.
The Kugane tower was hard for me at first, but now I've done it so many times that I can just breeze my way up there effortlessly, and get the lamppost jump perfectly every time.
None of the jumps to get to the top of the Kugane Tower require Sprint at all, by the way. I've done it many times without using that ability even once.
It hard when you said you played the Wii at 4 years old…
I think the first time I tried I spent 8hrs on this damn tower. Went to sleep and got to the top within 15 minutes the following day waiting for a queue. I was kind of sad that they didn't have one in Shadowbringers (that I know of). I didn't know about the ones in the Firmament so I'ma have to check those out. w
What’s the outdo music?
I've never done jumping puzzle in FFXIV. It's frustrating.
I was raised on platformers, and I get really excited whenever Leap of Faith pops in the Gold Saucer. I’m now dying to try these puzzles.
Wait we have the same Free Company name pog i snagged YoRHa on Malboro!
guild wars 2 has jumping puzzles that make these seem easy, i never completed even one.
I spent 2 hour hours on this jump
Still never made it to the top 😓😓
Y'know, there's a second, shorter and easier one in Kugane. It's over by the hotsprings.
Attempting any kind of precision movement in a third person game on keyboard and mouse just seems like torture.
Edit: I typed this in before watching the entire video. You do WHAT? You move with your mouse?? Ho– WHY? lmao
