The Tangled Depths Hero Points are one of the hardest points to get. This is due to the complexity of the map, and the difficulty that the Hero Challenges pose on you, especially if you are trying to run them solo.
As a matter of fact, some of the Tangled Depths Hero Challenges are not doable solo, so I would suggest getting a friend or asking the map chat for some assistance.
Due to the complexity of this map, I recommend watching the video.
Further in the guide, we will be going over all the Hero Points in Tangled Depths step by step, covering the waypoints and routes to take and instructions on how to complete them.
GW2 Tangled Depths Hero Points
There are 11 Hero Points in Tangled Depths. Getting a friend to help complete those challenges isn’t such a bad idea. This is because most of the Hero Challenges in this map will have Champions to fight, and they are pretty tough, and doing it solo is pretty hard, even for the veteran player.
Before we begin, make sure you have a Glider and the Itzel Poison Lore HoT mastery.
