Any combo of stats to make a character (non trickster) jump higher?

[whytebyrd]

I've been trying to do the scrying orbs achievement this time as I clear each zone, but I have run into a couple of them that are just impossible for my character to get to.

I can clearly see the orbs, but i have to do some pretty high jumping to get to them & try as I might i just can't get up that high.

Orbs are put in places that all characters can get to without any specific skills.

There's likely another route you have not seen.

I'm thinking about the middle one in the chasm, in particular. You have to climb on top of a rock spike thing & then jump to a torn up roof, onto another rock underneath that, & then to the "attic" space where the orb is. That jump from the first rock spire to the decrepit house is just too far for me. I can see the orb plainly there, too.

I even looked at videos of people who had done that one, and they all used the same route.

If that is the scrying stone you are refering to that video may help. I got there with a GF with no dodging or jumping modifications.

Apologies I do not tend to record videos so the quality is lacking. No idea why the sound sucks just mute it and you shouldn't need sound to follow my path. :-)

EDIT - Overwriting the hissing sounds with a youtube track. Hopefully that is less jarring. One of these days I will look into why the NVidia software is broken for me.

Dat's der bunny all right... try as I might, I can;t make it from that first big rock spire over to the house. I've tried as a CW & SW... I wonder if low dexterity stats affect jumping.

I have tried many, many times, jumping around like an ape in a fit, but wind up on the ground again.

Interesting. Since you are on Steam I assume you play on PC?

I obviously recorded that on PC (I referenced recording with NVidia) but I can ask the other Official Forum Mods to try it on Xbox/PS4 in case there is some obsruction unique to the platform in the off chance you are playing on a console.

There shouldn't be anything that effects jumping height at all let alone at that early stage in the game. You should be able to follow that path without dodging or needing any jumping power/benefits.

yes, I'm on pc and I don't think anything is blocking me. That scry stone is just out of reach for me. I've worked up another character that I'll be taking through there (SW this time) and I'll try it again.

I had a similar problem trying for the middle scry stone in Helm's hold, though I think it's more that I just can't find the right angle on it. It's the one on the side of a cliff right above that pavillion thingy at the rest area below.

You climp up the cliff face, jump to a smallish rock spire, then jump (supposedly) to the final rock spire where the stone is. There's a slab of cliff face in the way of that final jump that cuts off much of the approach, though.

Thank goodness it's all virtual... I've fallen so many times that my multiple fractures would have multiple fractures in RL
