/heres a guide i wrote for logs ages ago whoever wants to do it the honest way...
Training program (you must be able to do these before even looking at log challenge):
5x aim at random windows in port town and shoot at them from varied distances.
2x touch the ceiling in the port town shop (difficulty 2%)
10x(or until confident) climb to top of tallest building in port town by using the wall (difficulty 5%)
5x go to small pier in port town and aim at the floor 3m from your body. Swing underneath and over the pier (without touching water, and try to land on top of the hook (this technique is used when getting onto logs, but slightly easier)
1x you need to be able to do treehouse challenge- climb tree to get into treehouse (30% difficulty).
1x climb out of volcano - tests how well you can work in dark and recover big drops (35% difficulty).
Think you are ready? Well you need to know the technique now.
-get used to using 3rd person view while swinging if you don’t already, it makes you more aware of surroundings.
-you get MUCH more height from a forwards/backwards pendulum swing than a sideways circle-shaped mace-type swing, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t swing sideways at all.
-if you have to shoot in mid-air, do it at the top of your swing when you are not moving so fast.
-stop on as many logs as you can until you are confident enough to go without stopping (highly unrecommended without gold hook or skillz)
-using a shield should reduce fall damage, but don’t forget about stock piling blue potions and vials.
-pendulum swings are best for getting on top of logs.
- While swinging into a log higher than previous (at the height of a swing) grapple on to it and try to get on top of it.
- Try and swing around the outside of the core of the log challenge - it slows you down and hurts you if you bump into it.
-GOOD START PLACE: start by going NWish (I think) of the green start point and up onto the steepest slope around logs. Look around for a low log which is sticking out much more than the others. Position your self and fire at it. Swing around the right side of logs once hooked.
-don’t get excited near the top! It always ends in disaster! Take your time, and don’t be afraid to go back a log if you are in a risking patch. At the 3rd to top log you need to jump and shoot in mid air at log above you.
-it will take time. Don’t ask people to do it for you on their accounts- that defeats the purpose of gold hook, and you will probably quit the game after as you have no more goals. Logs are MEANT to be hard. Don’t give up. It takes the average person about 6-10 days to do it, so don’t think you are naturally bad.
