    Aw that sucks OP. I can kind of relate but on a less extreme level, I get vertigo even in games. I jumped off the tower and urgh, I regretted it. xD Hope your bond partner can make it so you can too. ^^

    It sucks since I can never have that "I finally did it!" feeling of making it to the top on my own. I hope all of you can make it and complete your sightseeing logs and enjoy the view; this Miqo'te will just be on the ground cheering you on.
    I got my roommate to do it for me...I am veru scared of heights too! So i really do feel your pain with this one

    I have issues with depth perception (partially blind) so as soon as I heard the jumping puzzle tower was a thing, I figured I'd never be able to do it. Heck, I had enough trouble jumping across the rock pillars to help that Kojin. So I've pretty much resigned myself to not being able to get up there. But I do love the screenshots people post - it looks like an amazing view!

    I'd marry someone who's done all the jumping puzzles.

    I've never managed to complete the puzzle myself, because at a certain point the shaking just becomes too much to do accurate jumps but what I've found to help a lot is treating the whole thing like a 2(.5)D platformer.
    That is orienting the camera so the pegs or ledges you need to jump to are all more or less oriented with the "background" and then jumping sideways along said background plane.
    It takes some fiddling when you need to jump past or around corners but essentially taking depth out of the puzzle makes it a lot easier to deal with for me.
    Also strafe jumping is easier for me to handle when I need to do accurate jumps but that might just be me.

    Wouldn't doing this yourself, knowing that you can't actually die or even get hurt from falling while playing a virtual character, be a good way to start getting over your fear of heights in a save environment?

    Some people are like Slinkies. They aren’t really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.

When you get to the point where you’re just below the balcony, there will be a few jumps which might make your stomach turn. Whatever you do, don’t look down and just focus on the beam you need to jump on. )
    This worked well for me too! Always remember its you who are in control and there's no written rule of doing it all at once. Take as many breaks as you need to during climbs. Step away from the computer for some air to settle the nerves and go back when you're feeling comfy with a few more jumps.
