Need help with Labyrinth (C1)

[TarjaS]

This is the last one I need for Floor 5 and I keep getting blown up. I know the solution, I even checked a walkthrough to make sure I got it right, but the two mines guarding the second jammer always get me. Do I just need to keep trying and getting blown up or is there something tricky I can do (like getting an extra jammer in from somewhere)?

It is actually guarded by 3 mines but those two close to the 2nd jammer keep enough space to sneak between them and retrieve the jammer. You just need to walk precisely in between of them. They'll start flashing red when passing them but they won't detonate. Try to stand by the wall facing directly to the jammer. When those mines start closing to you, just hold sprint button (typically LShift) and run for the jammer. Then return the same way.

No trick, just dash in there and grab it when the bombs are almost at opposite ends of each other.

As long as you can do a quick 180 it shouldn't be any trouble.

Thanks for the replies. The first mine isn't really a problem, just the last two. I guess I'll just keep on trying and try to be extra careful in staying right in the middle when getting the jammer. It's not the first puzzle I've had to try at least a dozen times.

You can also wiggle a little bit to the left or right while fetching the jammer, to avoid the closest mine. I finally got the jammer (after being blown up half a dozen times first, trying to stay on the exact line) by walking (and then walking backwards) and evading just a bit when passing a mine.

I got it! Changing player speed to fast helped some (I usually use slow to avoid getting dizzy). I just dashed to the jammer staying straight in the middle, then dashed back to the wall and jammed one of the mines to get time to figure out where the third one was.

After figuring out which side to use for heading out, got out of the gate and jammed the mine there, took the other jammer, got to the door, jammed the mine, retrieved the other jammer, and headed to get the third one. Sounds complicated, but I didn't want to take any chances after finally getting the second jammer.

And getting back to the cathedral heard that eternal life was mine to have and saw the doors were open. F**k that, I'm going to the tower.. Need to get through Nervewrecker first, though.
