I'm stuck at Mission 17

[The Traveler]

I playing on Easy Mode, didn't wanna risk my first time ever palythrough on the Classic. Sadly neither the weird controls with I do with keyboard and not the difficulty or biss fights stopped me. I was stopped by a simple platfrom jump. I show the specific point:

Jumping tot he first paltform was relativly easy after I waited to the camera align itself and made a correct jumo, but hte next one... I fell off, jump down or simly jump way off. I saw walkthroughs, it's an easy jump - not that crazy one like in DMC3 with the moving cubes!
Someone would gave me an advice or tip?! I really don't want to skip this title and right now can't afford to buy an Xbox controller (which will I do eventually). Thanks!

Plataforming in this game is rough even with a controller, i can't imagine the pain it would be with a mouse and keyboard. I'm not even going to try hahaha. But if it helps, in DMC 1, you can't fall off the edge of a plataform by simply walking, generally speaking. You have to jump first. So maybe try to take advantage of that to line up your jump, and see if it helps, unless you've already tried this. I don't remember if that is the case for this specific section, even though i played through that just yesterday hahaha. So take that with a grain of salt. But i suppose it wouldn't hurt to try.

People shouldn't buy the air hike when first starting out. Double-jumping leads to unnecessary dependence and bad habits to unlearn.

And don't get an xbox controller. The input lag will make it totally unplayable from the start.

So, trial & error or restart the game and don't buy the Airhike skill. Thanks!

I didn't simply said trial and error. I just said to see if in this section it is possible to walk off the edge and fall of a plataform, because in most scenarios you can't. And if you can't it would be a lot easier to do this section. But i don't think there is much else you can do, plataforming in this game is just that bad. Also there is no need to restart the game if you don't want to use the airhike skill for this section. You can just switch weapons, since only Alastor has that skill.

Edit: tested this in an earlier plataforming section of the game, before the last fight with the griffin, since this is the only other save i have. And i was right for this section at least. You can just keep walking towards the edge forever and you won't fall, and then jump when you're aligned with the next plataform. So i assume if you do this for the one you're having trouble with, then you'll succeed.

I'm pretty sure you can double jump directly on the balcony, I always skip those platforms.

Thanks for the advices, but I'm still stuck with every sword. I made a short video from my torments:

I honestly don't know how i can help you with this, but i feel your pain. Plataforming is really bad by itself already, with m/k is probably a lot worse. In my opinion no devil may cry game should have this. I still love them anyway. Did you try what the other guy said? To try to double jump directly to where you need to go, the end of the room there past these invisibles plataforms. I haven't tried this myself, but from looking at it, i would say it could be possible.

Yeah, funny I can beat DMC3 original port at mission 16-17(?) jumping from the moving cube to cube. I didn't try that that jump, but I will and check same strategy guides.

I finally made it! I didn't have Air hike and I just bought it and give it a try. Less then 2 minutes I managed to double jump up for the artifact.
Thanks again for everyone for the help!
