Mordor Jumping Puzzle

[A Lowly Salamander]

Hi I'm unable to complete the Mordor jumping puzzle. I get to the 3rd one easily, but then when I try to jump to the 4th pillar it's like an invisible wall and I fall to the floor. Somehow I managed getting to the 4th but then trying to jump to the 5th the same thing happened - invisible wall.

I've tried leaning over the edge then jumpin but it doesn't work, I've tried using an elf, a man and a hobbit. All the same result.

Any help much appreciated.

stick with an elf. this puzzle is a high risk type puzzle, it will be the most difficult thing in the game. if memory serves me correctly there's point you can jump more or have to jump more than you'd think, and of course the risk of over jumping or under jumping.

this will frustrate you finding where the points are that you can jump normally and finding the points where you have to push yourself through and find that sweet spot. but it's doable.

Jump from the second pillar to 4th one with any elven character. Then you can go on normally.

I can't, it's an invisible wall. Blocks me every time. :/

This helps but then there's an invisible wall blocking the fifth pillar :/

Nevermind, I jumped from 4th to 6th and it worked! However I used a cheat as I thought I'd never get it and now the mithril brick is turned into a stud so I actually can't get the 250th mithril brick. So I can't get the My Precious achievement unless I restart :/

Anyone know the earlies time you can enter Mordor and do this?

I wish I'd seen this/been more patient when I was trying to do it.

I'd have to do the whole story again which google says would take about 7 hours if I speed run it. Dunno if I can be bothered but I want 100% so bad!

Thanks for the thread, it helped! I've managed this by skipping 3rd and 5th pillars.

Dude ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, years later and this is still a hot tip. Thanks for the screenshot.

I would just like to put a curse on Traveler's Tales for doing this garbage - this game has like 7 puzzles that are either broken, or broken and downright insane, because you can easily fail at multiple parts - either randomly sliding off, your character decining to jump off, you being thrown off by the broken jump-assist, or you desperately trying to switch characters, only for the system to instantly switch you to a second character and the AI jumping off, as it just took over and ruined your attempt!

On top of my head: Saruman, Mount Doom, and some random shi-tty puzzle behind Bree, where you have to jump over three simple planks, but it took me like 100 tries, because there was a same issue with invisible wall, or me being launched into the water, or the jump assist incorrectly always trying to push me off the plank. Can you imagine how insane and impossible it is to fight off a random thing that pushes you off the platform? And then this one.

Mount Doom is probably the only one I will never try finishing. Screw this, the game is falling apart, but I don't even know if these are some new bugs caused by playing on newer system, or if Traveler's Tales just couldn't be bothered to properly bugfix them to begin with.

THANK YOU! My sister and I were SO painfully frustrated, but on the second try with this trick, we managed PERFECTLY. A tip is to go from the fourth to the sixth right after, then it's smooth sailings. It was REALLY bugging us.

Proving once again that Elves are the master race.

Thank you SO much for posting this; literally seems to be the only way to bypass this puzzle, just due to the wonky coding.
