problem with the first mansion, sorrowing meadow

[helios]

ive played from the start to the sorrowing meadow twice now and hit the same road block. going into the first mansion i found the servants note then went up the stairs looking for the first keepsake, green ghost thing appears and the door locks. from there all i can do is run up and down the stairs until the ghost kills me and reload last save. ive tried jumping on the boxes on the second floor to try and get to the third floor without success, tried hacking at every wall with no effect, tried to drop down to a basement but only slide along the floor. what am i missing? there doesnt seem to be any way to escape once the ghost appears.

Yes the door will lock. But there is still a way out, it could be you dont have "Vine Climb" or "Slide" yet. And when you escape the ghost the door will is not locked anymore.

[Enfys Ellezard]

You're supposed to have the slide to finish Cirromon caverns.

Vine Climb is obtained in the first mansion.

The door is supposed to be locked because you will run into another room instead where you will get the keep sake and Vine Climb.

[helios]

there no other room accessable though :( all i can do is run up and down the stairs until he kills me, unless there is some special trick to getting into this -other- room?? and yes i have slide as was in my original post but nowhere can i find the vine climb ability.

@Helios, which mansion are you in? You should be in the one in the lower left corner of the region. If not, something might be broken.

If you are indeed in that mansion, you should only need to zigzag you way up the stairs and room and then exit to the left screen.

[helios]

lower left is correct, the stairs only go from the first floor, where the door in is, to the second floor which triggurs the ghost, theres some boxes in the middle of the second floor but cant jump high enough off them to reach just barely visible third floor, again the stair case ENDS on the second floor, no attempt to break walls works, theres no visible hole to slide through at the side of either first or second floor, ive been back and forth back and forth back and forth across both first and second floors looking for an exit until the ghost kills me, which is the -only- way out of the building i can find. once the ghost appears ...dooomed

Without insulting you, I'll just say, you are very (VERY) poor at observation, and you probably don't understand ZIG ZAG pattern you go up the stairs. There is one (pretty obvious) slide hole on the second floor and few (pretty obvious - different colour) destructible walls on the third and up. Let me link you random YT walkthrough video found in few seconds there...

This game is by no means difficult in terms of puzzles or mapping, I'm surprised people are having problems with it, unless you really are 10 yo (which should be OK still, since game is 10+)...

just one problem, that spot he slid under the wall on the second floor in this video, does not work when i tried that very thing, though this is making me wonder if my copy of the game has a glitch.
i tried slide, i tried to hack through the walls, i tried jumping off the boxes in the middle of the second floor, all with no luck.

update; yes im pretty sure now something is wrong wih my install, going to try backing out and reinstalling the pile of .net 4 patches and verify cache on the game. i tried the xbox version of the game as was able to slide under the wall as the video showed, pc version its like trying to slide under one of the yellow glowing walls, Does Not Work! as i have said several times now, just for that guy who called -me- unobservant, read up the thread pal. The 10 year old comment was uncalled for. Isuppose i got the idea stuck in my head it was "locked" like the front door and needed to do something to unlock it. the dangers of preconcieved notions.

I never noticed the first slide under the pillar when in the first mansion, it just blended in so damn well with the background that it was practically camouflaged, kinda took the tenseness out of the remaining manor chases because I spent minutes running around in the very first part with ghostiemcgee chasing me, and the slide spot is not exactly all that obvious as there is a filter applied on the screen during the chase that makes the colors a little darker I think, that or it's just because of low light settings because every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ website wants to load themselves with stark white everywhere and hurt my eyes.

[GM-_-CcMad]

i ran around with ghost for a run around for a minute or too also heh,it was rather sudden change for the slide.

[为让我心醉的你]

You shouldnt be having a problem, my first time i flew thru all the mansions, but your game may very well be messed up, i beat the game and i am now trying to beat all side quests, im on one where i cant slide thru the slide gap, its a little too high on both sides... (one side is a pit!)

Well, without insulting YOU, I did not remark the slide region under that pillar (nor do I think it logical). I'm no 10 year-old and I'm not an idiot like your post imply.

Well, I'm unstuck for now so I hope OP finds what's wrong.

[DarkTroZo]

I don't know if you're an idiot or not but you just posted in a thread from almost a year ago.
