How to get the item on the roof?

[PINHATT]

I think the title is self-explanatory but come on, when you unlock the first anvil right at the entrance to the cave, you can clearly see that there is an item on top of a roof in the city, so how do I get this item on top of the roof?

Run and jump so very carefully

and how exactly do I jump?
So far I haven't figured it out, I just use the heavy attack by running but I don't think that's how it's done

Sorry I miss spoke, there is no jumping, but just running and rolling very very carefully at the right angle

Can anyone be more descriptive about how to get this? Where do you run/roll from?

[Aigle1705]

one of the broken bridges is like right above the roof. just drop off.

[VonRaven 666]

run out from the broken bridge above it (jump/walk out on its left side)

[Rando Calrissian]

The correct answer is run, and roll off of the bridge at the last second. Walking off = death. Rolling off = death.
The reward is Memory of an npc zone boss (1000 memory in NG, and interestingly 1300 memory in NG2).
This fall damage = 885 health, at 27% equip load. So doing this early in the game where that 1000 memory means anything, will probably kill you. I am not aware of a way to minimise fall damage (at least pre expansion), and since plunge attacking doesn't seem to be a thing in this game, I doubt it exists?

wont help with early access, dlc item iirc.

(that pencil next to it, so damn op. prevents knockback 100%. also dlc item)

[Rando Calrissian]

Yes, it is in the expansion as I suggested. Easymakers Retreat (The DS2 Gutter). Possibly interesting in a NG+ run, I haven't tried it yet though (like a lot of runes, and spells). I did wonder about the poise pencil, could be OP against bigger enemies and bosses.

there is an somewhat plunge attack move.
-- just quick attack as you fall.
you'll do an downward slash all the way down, and quite quickly at that.
