If I remember correctly there are 2 different places in the game where there are floating platforms. There are dead bodies at the bottom of one room and there are fireballs that come out of the wall in the other.

I know you there was lava but that doesnt ring a bell with me. Could you be more specific?

I can help if I know which one it is.

after you first meet baranbu you fly down and end up going through differant teleporters and shutting down generaters. i jumped from platform to platform to a laddedr went across pulled a lever and ended up on a higher level. I managed to get across and use the teleporter ther but just ended up at the bottom again. I did figure out that i have to jump from one platform to another before he fist one drops. problem is i died and where i save the game instead of reloading i resaved so now i'm back at the bottom. next problem, i make it back up to the platform with the lever but when i use it it does,nt do anythoing.



ok, i made it across to the platform with the next teleporter and there is also a chest setting there. that's as far as i am for right now. going to step into the telepoter and see where it takes me. i'll,let you all know if i get into trouble.

I must have the attention span of a soapdish cuz I cant remember that. [ I am 44 and my memory aint what it used to be ]

I'm going through this game again [ this time as a mage ] and I'm writing notes down on difficult areas so I'll have the answers to questions like this. Sorry I couldnt help.

know just how you feel, i got almost 20yrs on you, memmory does get shot. starting to play these games at this point doesn't make it any easier i don't think. i watch my kid and he makes everything look like a breeze. oh well, give it a hell of a try anyway. i managed to get through the platforms and it got me to a room where i shut down another generator. I have a feeling that eventually i'm going to meet up with this guy barnabus. we'll see.

You old folks are not alone mage. I'm 53 and I love this game.

Barnabus is a though cookie. Use your pet if you have a good one.

I'm 61 and my brain is still down south for the winter where it is warm and the women are wearing skimpy bikinis. The view is nice but then I try these sinking platforms and my coordination seems slightly off. I swear my mind is on making each and every jump. I want the 'Tiberius Bow' that you get for killing all five of the enemies. I just gotta see what it is like.

I keep overjumping and am to slow to realize I am toast before I get to the next platform. I can feel my bones getting older by the minute.

I found two teleporters in the main cavern and used one to take out a generator. I took the lowest one to a room with a generator and those sinking platforms with an inactive teleporter. I've made it to I think it is the 6th platform and keep falling off. I am not sure if that platform sinks or not since I haven't been able to land solidly and I think I have to jump to the right side.

Any jumping techniques that might help?? Besides, keep trying which I have been doing.

I'm going out to my garage and have a cigarette before trying the jumps again. I will check back later this evening or until 9:00AM before I sleep and each day after until I make it out of that place with Barnabus's head and the bow.

Let up on the forward movement button / stick direction if it looks like you are going to overshoot, or try jumping from further back on the starting platform. Depending on the situation using a high camera angle may help; others have found it easier to jump with an over-the-shoulder view (hold the left trigger down for the Xbox version, or use a close camera view on the PC).

There are 3 teleporters in that cave (one teleporter up high, one mid level and one on the ground at the bottom of the cave). Only 2 have generators, but you still need to do all 3 before taking out Barnabus, or the last room in one will remain locked.

For those having trouble with the jumps, don't forget that you can save whenever you want, so pretty much before and after each jump. wink

^^^^^^

Thanks for the comments and help.

I finally made it and did it by skipping platforms and aiming at the next if it wasn't too high. I had no clue as to what I was doing once I noticed how high I had to go and that the upper platforms were moving. I did a quicksave after every platform jump I made and a regular save when I completed a level of platforms.

Now I can try Flying Fortresses for fun.

Hi Guys, I have you all beat. I am 72 and still playing but these jumps and timing chalenges get harder each year. I used to fly with flight simulator but years ago got a Chuck Yeager flight program. Big mistake. I could not handle it at all. Also the fighters over Europe. S o have stopped flying and now I just hack away at dragons and orks.

Any tricks with the timing would be appreciated by all us old age challenged players.

I do a suggestion to Larian for making an "alternative way" to play the "time based" puzzles wink

I'm just 38 years, but I'm born with a handicap and become slower in comparing with other people.
The time based puzzles are for me very difficult.
Only because I'm a patient man I succeed in all the time based puzzles in Ego Draconis (and other games), but I have had many times the idea to STOP playing after many attemps !! frown

Read my suggestions here

Hope Larian can make some alternative way to pass time based puzzles and make some braingame puzzle for instance ? wink
