Talking about the secret/not so secret area of the Vault of Glass.
Where is it?
It's in the Templar's area. When you get into that region of the Vault of Glass.
How to get there? Before you launch/jump down into the Templar's main area (where the three confluxes are)....stay up on the main ledge that sits up high. Don't jump down. Instead, turn to your right and start vertically jumping up the right side ledges. Get as high as you can, and then you have to do TWO blind jumps around the corner cliffs. On the second blind jump, you float up...and then float right back into the wall, where a tiny ledge will be. From here, you then jump straight up verticality about 30 feet....to a huge open ledge area.
This open area sits about 100' above the starting ledges. And has a couple of branching paths. I haven't explored all of this area yet...but I have gone down the main path. You want to look for a path that goes into the vertical walls. Go in there, weave around a bit, and you'll come to a huge chasm. From here, jump to a center platform/bushy ledge, which will lead to a few more jumps, that take you to a massive chasm that has no end to the bottom, and a hole leading outside waaay up top. From here, you can go left, right, down or up. I've gone up a few times. There are about thirty jumps to make, to get about 400' up. Near the top of this route, this will lead you to another massive area, the Matrix/Machine room.
This is really cool and a lot of fun. The area to explore here is massive. Probably bigger than any of the worlds in the game. There's also some serious fun platform jumping too. Takes some sweaty palm nerves of steel to make. Once you start getting into this, it's easy to get lost.
Rumor. I think the secret under/platform tunnel near the opening of the VoG....I think it leads or drops into this region. I haven't been able to confirm this, as I am not good enough to platform jump into the tunnel.
All in all....I'm not sure how far this region goes. I got almost to the top, where the hole is in the roof, but have been stopped there due to time limitations. Is there a way to get to it? And what about the Matrix/machine room? Can you go any further in there?
