Jumps in the Katska Dungeon

[60mph gorilla]

Is it me or do those jumps seem unnecessarily hard to pull off. The bit with the spike platforms in particular I have only been able to nail once and that was pixel perfect. Doesn't help you can't do a small jump and have to drop off and then immediately do a down/up combo and hope you clear the small wall above you so you don't bonk your head. Great game but this one section is stupid.

Am I missing a specific item or do I just have to pray I nail it pixel perfect again?

I'm wondering the exact same thing. If this is a required jump, its insane. I feel like I'm missing a double jump or air-dash or something. In general I feel stuck right now because of that.

EDIT: Got through it this time. Looks like the best tactic is just to walk off the spike-platform and then do the upwards-special. It is still kinda close, but not as close as I thought.

you can jump after walking off a platform, thats the intended method. there's a jump later on you literally cannot do without, perhaps you;re at that one.

Yeah that is what I have been doing. Have only been able to do it once though and every other time it either doesn't activate or I bonk my head on the ceiling. Guess i will keep at it then.

Well I am stupid I guess. Just tried it again and found out all you have to do is press up. You don't have to do down/up in order for it to trigger. That made the jump so much more manageable. Event went to the ability and it said up+atk. I swear I read it as Down+up+atk.

Bah

WOW I did not realize that you have a split second to hop after falling off of a platform, in no way does the game ever tell me this is an option!

its an old retro gaming thing.
it's called " coyote timing "

I'm finding this part to be infuriating because of how often the UP+attack just does not register my presses until I've fallen too far, if at all. Every single time I get to a certain room - I think the same one Barf is referring to - on my way out to try to save after getting the skill and die because it just won't register. Plus the head bonking just to make it extra annoying. I can get through going in fine most of the time, but getting out has been a nightmare.

Two helpful things, to do the upstab technique, do not double tap up+attack. Just hold up + attack, it's different than the downstab. Second you can land on edges of platforms or spikes. This room gave me a lot of trouble at first, just jump against wall and do upstab, you don't need to hold right to try and land on the center platform

Thanks, I'll try that.

Another review unhappy that there's only 1 jump height. So you all can shove it, again!

Jump to the right off the left side of the platforms, then up-thrust when you clear the overhang while holding to the right. Even if your head clips the side, it'll still move in the correct direction and you get your full hang time. Those are actually the hardest jumps in the game, so once you clear those, you've got the hardest platforming part of the game. A good final platforming challenge, took me four or five tries to get it right. Not sure why your up-thrust isn't firing, though, that hasn't happened to me as it's just up and attack; I more often accidentally use the ground-pound in a way that kills me in some hilarious fashion.
