Dark Souls 2 [Jump, Plataform, Ledges]

[Kiosh]

Hello o/

I wondering if anyone else beside me is having problems with some levels that require jumping to get some loots.

Right now I gave up from all the itens that I know I should should jump to get it :(

some items require you to drop to tiny ledges (walking to drop is a way, but most time the stick goes to far and the character drops down to death)

Some items require you to jump into plataform (then the character eithers rolls to death before jumping, rolls to death after jumping or simple don't make the full jump and fall to death)

Any tips for getting gud at plataform in this gravity fu*** game ?

PS: I'm ALWAYS with cat ring for falling damage (never leave home without it)
PS2: I always go with 20+ vigor for the health
PS3: The fall damage is not what is killing me, it's the fall to the abyss that is

Send halp !!!

What jumps are you trying to do?

[Kiosh]

I'm really bad about the name of the places, but let me try my best:

Forest of Fallen Giants:
Top of first bonfire (for throwing knife loot)
After second bonfire (yup, that silly rooftop jump to go into the cave)
Before second bonfire (at the ledge for a human efigy and at the top of a tree for ?)

Lost Bastille:
Some rooftops
Some broken bridges
Some structures with heavy xbow doods

Huntsman's Copse:
All the place is a mess
Small ledges to drop into
Small spots to jump into
At the crypt with necromancers

Undead Purgatory:
At the entrance with red phantom

Harvest Valley
Another place I hate
After the ring sidequest dood (where he says about a treasure)
For getting the poison broadsword (drop from the top, but then jump to the wall plataform to get out)
For that windmill fan to avoid doind all the way around for the pyromancer lady


Earthen Peak:
I give up in jumps about here
After a room full of poison vases there's a path that you can take upstairs, there you can kill a pyrolady and make a jump for a small ledge (I did on first and second try) for a room with treasures (I think poison ring ?) BUT to get out you need to jump to the lower part of the poison vase room (in case you don't have homeward bone or miracle)

After that, screw any shiny :(

that one jump made be think about if is worth trying to get them or not

of course, some very nice treasure's require you to make theses jumps, but some others are just wast of time/effort

If you plaing on PC before jumping click X then you will run faster and jum would be easyer

[Da Nut Crackah]

the less weight you have, the faster you run and further you jump... some of the ones you mentioned are a matter of having low weight as well as jumping at the right spot at the right time, like the one in FoFG near the only sconce that it already lit with the invisivle hollow, you have to jump where the ceiling isnt so low that it interferes with your jump. Some of the ones you mentioned make me wonder if your problem is your not jumping your rolling.

[Kiosh]

that's a nice tip indeed :)

I know some keyboard bidings that let you to keep guarding run/walk (walk very useful for the small ledge ones like at the beggining for clerics chime) but still the game don't let you jump if you're running into a wall, you will just roll (cause of many deaths) if you don't jump at the exactly spot you will fall before landing into the place where you trying to go and if you do it too late, your also roll the animation and fall before jumping...

It's looks like a input lag or something, but it's not, this is just miyazaki joke on all of us

yeh, if u run into a physical object it interferes with your momentum and jump, so you have to make sure that doesnt happen. There are actually a few places you dont even need to jump, like the ledge at the very bottom of Earthen Peak over the poison pit, right before the covetous demon, you can just run off the ledge to get onto the landing without jumping. I dont remember, but I think you can just run back off the landing to the nearby stairs to get out of there too, as opposed to needing to jump.

LoL ! I need to only run my way to it ? I must try it now xD

That's right, it's just before the boss battle, the reason I'm soo pissed of that jump was because I went to get my souls, got my souls, die after getting it and keep repeating this ugly mistake... until I lost it for good :D !

But I will really try to check out all thoses tips I'm getting

[Da Nut Crackah]

I just double checked to see if you could get in and out of that spot in Earthen Peak without jumping, and you can. I was at 55% weight encumbrance too, so its an easy one. Just have to make sure that you line up where you land with the doorway, because your likely to do a roll on the first landing. Just take the second one straight, and watch out for the manequin thats hiding. The other two places that really stand out in my mind where utilizing running off a ledge instead of jumping are going down the pit in Majula to get to the Gutter. One of the wooden platforms is very difficult to make a jump to (i think its the third platform down) but running makes it every time. Other place is to get the item you have to drop through the bridge on your way to Undead Purgatory. Drop through bridge onto pillar, run off ledge to item and land on that section.

Also believe it or not. It's possible to do that jump where the king's gate bonfire is. For an easy fragrant branch of yore without having to spend 12k.
