Thanks, Annabelle.

I seem to be aiming to far to the left or right... just haven't got that sweet spot in the middle... (ignore the double jump reference... that's just a personal gripe about something I can't seem to figure out how to do... I know it's not needed for this.)

Thanks from me too, Annabelle, but I still need more of your help, please! I had been working to your picture and your comment about "when you stand under the cliff plants" - but now I'm not sure where I should be - should I be under the cliff plants or only be 66% of the way to the cliff plants? Or did you mean some different plants when you say "66% the distance between the door and the bushes on the cliff"?

@ Acorn Please, Take a look at the first post within this thread. It has a series of pictures showing your positions. Other than that all I can say is, just keep trying to make those jumps...

thanks, Wamduskasapa, I was relying on the pics but getting nowhere - for example, when I rotate 45 degrees, I'm standing too far out from the cliff to get the visual Annabelle shows. So i'm now wondering if I'm too far along the cliff - I was aiming to be underneath the plants but when Annabelle said "66%" along, maybe I shouldn't be there - although that's what it looks like in the pic. Maybe it's the camera angle?

Don't worry, I will keep trying!

I have a bug right now... I can't see every pictures I took on the first post of this thread. I'll look at them later and try to come back with a solution :? :?

It hates me... even with the video to refer to I still end up back in Relto...

Merci Mirphak!

Like you see on the video, you can do it as you feel it.

It's all a matter of feeling...really :D

Mirphak goes real far under the cliff's bushes, I don't go that far.

What you need to realise here: the collision wall is NOT following the visual cliff. The collision wall is real close to the visual cliff near the door but near the cliff's bushes, the gap is nearly 1 inch and a half (3.5-4 cms). This might be where you fail to succeed.

YES you need to climb up high enough and far enough but you CAN'T stay close to the visual cliff doing it.

The panic linking zone around the door is wider than the door of about 1 inch and half. So...As long as you are standing away from the door at let say 2 inches (5 cms), you are ok to attempt a jump beyond the visual cliff. The jump to reach the bahro cave tunnel is a run-jump.

The only advantage I might have over you is the instinct/knowledge to know where the limits are (collisions top, collisions position vs visuals behind them, panic link zones, collisions inclination) and that in every ages.

Yippee! Finally succeeded and got my two pieces of wedge. Thanks to everyone for your help and encouragement, and especially to mirphak for the video - though even then I needed a lot of tries. Keep at it, johnsojc, if I can do it so can you!

Update = both avvies now - the second avvie got it right first time!
