Problems jumping between balance planks

[Eric]

I'm having problems jumping between planks, specifically the one on the lake outside bree, and the one by mount doom. It seems the invisible wall that is supposed to "help" you by not allowing you to overjump has been moved in front of it, causing the jumps to be near impossible. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, anyone have any tips on how to get past these areas?

Same here at least mount doom (i didnt tried in bree yet)

I had this same problem when jumping between the poles near Barad-dûr, I fell down so many freaking times I was about to snap!

My eventual solution was to wiggle the joystick a little when jumping between the problem spots so my character landed slightly diagonally on the platform (don't know how better to describe this). That helped me get to the end.

Then I hit the toggle button to change to a morgúl buster and accidentally switched to the other character, causing the first one to fall off. I almost screamed.

You are talking about the quadratic ones? Yeah, i hit the invisible wall there too.

Don't jump to the "a"'s, there's an invisible wall. Take an elven for jumping.

my solution was to - when standing on any of those two going left - jump forward, and then immediately turn left, then it snapped properly. I did use an elf, just in case,

That's my major gripe with the game, the platforming is frustrating. They could've made it a lot easer if they showed a shadow where you're going to land, that's a MUST have feature for games with platforming. There's no penalty for death (other than losing some currency) so just keep trying.

I wish I would have seen this earlier. THIS makes it much easier, but is there a similar trick for the platforms outside bree in the Lake?

For the lake one I just jump spammed (with a high jumper) until I cleared the first plank entirely, landing on the second. Then I jumped straight to the end. Probably an easier way, but it worked for me.

So I found that double jumping and then attacking in mid air brings me down right on it

I had the same problem.

It makes it so easy.

So, the Mount Doom one there are small ledges in the rock formation just underneath the platform the chest is on that you can jump to with an Elf and then you can jump up to the last small jumping platform, change to an Elendil sword char and then jump to the chest. If you try to change characters after you jump to the main platform it just switches you to the other character and then won't let you switch back until your elf has jumped down. Hope this helps
