The Mad Priest Unable to Swing to Sewer Pipe.

I'm having trouble moving forward with this side quest. The game wants me to swing from one set of pipes to the other but no matter what I do I am unable to grab on the next set of pipes? Am I doing something wrong? Or this interaction just bugged right now?

I play using mouse and keyboard at the moment. I've tried swinging back and forth to build momentum but for some reason when I jump Indy still doesn't grab on to the pipe. I've tried dismounting using space bar, the f key and the q key but none of those worked. I read somewhere that you can use left shift to build extra momentum but that didn't work either.

Yes at 8:30. I don't know why every video i see has no problem with it, but when i try to jump he doesn't go far enough. Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss something from a tutorial? I've tried swinging, lowering myself to get more momentum, and using different keys to jump but nothings worked at all.

Maybe a bug. I have a bug where I can't go trough a wall gap in a side mission. Even restarting the game didn't work for me. Can you change the location before finishing the game? Never tried it, but maybe restarting the mission this way could fix it.

you have to choke up on the rope, not down. it's counter intuitive but the detection point for the pipe expects to you to be higher up on the rope, not lower. Finally worked for me. Clearly designed by a g*rl who doesn't understand physics.

Hmmm that didnt seem to work for me, wasnt any closer to the pipe? How high do i need to be for him to snap to the pipe?

It has to be a bug. I have tried everything suggested in these threads many times. Nothing has worked. Hopefully it will get fixed.

I figured it out. You don't immediately jump off the rope. Climb up the rope a bit then swing a bit for momentum and then jump on the pipe. The pipe detection spot it wayyy higher than it should be. Hope this helps.

Playing keyboard & mouse: my game WILL NOT allow me to climb the whip while free-swinging. However if you use W and S to increase your swinging forwards and backwards, and then jump while closest to the vertical pipe, you should be able to grab it. So weird since I've read several people can "climb" the whip at this point in the game.

UPDATE: the next whip/climb right after this point, actually has a hint to HOLD RIGHT CLICK to climb the whip. I had to right-click, release it, then hold right-click again before Indy started climbing. Also, not sure about the setting "Toggle Whip Free Climb" in OPTIONS | MOUSE & KEYBOARD - the behaviour for this isn't well explained.

Oh thank jeebus, I thought I was the only one who was having trouble with this. Climbing the whip seems to make no difference for me, excepting that I fall in the water instead of the pathway at the bottom. *sigh* Climbing up makes me fall short in the jump, climbing down I just don't grab the pipe...though, ironically, if I climb down the whip far enough I'll either automatically grab the pipe we originally climb up to get to this point OR I'll just drag into the water and fall off.
