How do I drop down ladders?

[ACBlackJ0ck]

I've tried everything but I can't get down a ladder. Which is a pain because I need to get down to get collectables. Heck I've tried jumping off and landing litterly 1, 2 and 3 steps from the top of the ladder and it still results in instant death! So I need to get down but the game won't let me!

I'm assuming you're using a keyboard and mouse to play the game.

Go to the edge and press shift - then press the "s" button to descend. - you had to do this when you went into the shack after the first campsite...

Still not working. It's always either invisible wall or instant death

Are you in the spot where you need to shoot the lamps? If so you can't go down this specific ladder. Not because of a bug but because you don't need to get down there anymore. All lamps are above this ladder.
In fact, upsides are more lamps than you actually need.
I died there time and again, too, then I found out that you really don't have to get down there anymore^^
It's a little bit unclear done, that's for sure.

Kavelir's correct about this - if you're at the point where you climbed UP the rope ladder, you can't descend back DOWN it after you've reached the top. You have to continue forward from that point.

use the fast travel at the campsite to go back to the last campfire

standing at the ladder hit the roll/evade key she will drop down and grab the ladder, there are area's on the island you visit only once, when you start the game, when she pick's up the shotgun, the waterslide / parachute ride into shantytown, there is no going back, and anything you pick up count's for nothing overall.
