Secret World 3 Ruined Courtyard

Discovred By: Andrew Mills
A good thing about this secret world, is that you can "get in" as long as you have the Space Jump Boots!

.:How To Get In:.
Once you have cleared the room of any enemies, make your way to the top and go to the platform that holds the door leading the way to Thardus's lair.

Once you're up there, look right where there's the bird that normally pours water from it's mouth when you activate the switch to raise the water. Turn to Face it as this is the access point to Secret World 3.

There's a thin metal fence at the edge of this platform. Carefully jump onto it where the fence meets in a 'V' (lock your view down for better accuracy while jumping onto the fence) (see screenshots 1, 2, 3 and 4).

Screenshot 1 - The Door at the Top Screenshot 2 - Turn Right to Face the Bird Screenshot 3 - The Metal Fence You Must Jump On Screenshot 4 - Lock Your View Down For Better Jumping Accuracy

Once your on the fence, make sure to lock the view so your kind of pointing almost in parralell to the direction that the bird is facing. Now here comes the really tricky part.

Do a Long and High Space Jump at an angle INTO the mouth of the bird. This seems to work much better than just trying to jump in at a straight angle. Be careful, as it's pretty easy to miss it by inches and fall ALL the way down!

As soon as you've made it into the beak of the bird, you won't be able to see much. At the minute, you won't be able to jump at all. So, VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY move backwards until a little bit of scenery is showing in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Now you have enough space to make a Space Jump in the following directions: Right, then on the 2nd jump, move left. When done correctly (making sure that you've cleared the beak of the bird completely), you will land on the top. Hard part over with!

There's a bit at the top that splits off into a 'V' shape, take the right side and SLOWLY move up it. Stop at the point shown in screenshot 8, then simply do an L-Lock Space Jump up and onto the ledge there (see screenshots 5, 6, 7 and 8 for all of this in action).

Screenshot 5 - Line Yourself Up ALMOST Parrallel Screenshot 6 - Move Backwards SLOWLY Until Some Scenery is Visible in the Bottom Corner Screenshot 7 - Walk Slowly Over to the RIGHT of the 'V'. Screenshot 8 - Space Jump up Onto This Ledge

Now, it's a simple case of Jumping backwards and into Secret World 3! This one has a few more invisible platforms at various heights. Also, most of the ledges at the top are solid, meaning you can almost jump around the top of the room in a full circle. This is also your 1st chance to see how the water works in here as well!
