The Haunted Cathedral -- HELP!

[BlackThirteen]

Ok, I need some help, and maybe I just don't know how to work the controls right or something.

For TDP:

I am outside the house with the torc in it, and am trying to go back to the drawbridge area, but I can't jump high enough to get up that wall. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and how to get up there? I've tried a running start, but maybe there's a key you can hit besides 'w' that makes Garrett run faster??

Please help me, I do NOT want start this mission from the beginning. Thanks a lot!!!

The first time I played the mission, I used a rock found there to jump on, and then I mantled over the ledge from there. As I recall, in subsequent playings I got up easily without using a rock, but I don't remember exactly how I did it. Following are two possible ways.

The correct way to mantle is to stand right next to the wall and press the space bar. You should pop right up. If you are too close, it may not work. Step back a little and try again. With a straight mantle, it is not necessary to run at the wall and jump.

If a straight mantle will not work, then try a jump mantle. Take a run, jump while running (space bar), and hold the space bar down as you fly toward the edge. You can often catch the edge in flight and mantle over it.

This is sometimes the only way to succeed with a long jump. You almost fall, but you grab the edge at the last moment.

Let us know how you finally succeed.

Like Peter said. In this case go to the far right near the wall. The ledge you want to mantle onto is right in front of you with the wall on your right.

Get as close to the ledge as you can (walk forward until you bounce ) LOOK UP and hit the SHIFT key and HOLD IT.

If you don't get up.Then back up about 6 to 8 feet, run and jump at the wall HOLD THE SHIFT KEY. Don't let go of the SHIFT when you mantle until you are absolutely certain you are on the ledge you want to climb to. If you let go too soon you tumble back.

Garrett will "HANG" for a second or two sometimes, on the lip of a ledge. HOLD THE SHIFT KEY until G drops (or gets up).

On narrow ledges and walls, be careful with the WALK/RUN keys, as you will just mantle right over to the other side of a wall.

Just keep on trying...mantle up the wall and don't give up but be very careful when jumping so you don't fall easily. Careful when walking the ledge too so you don't fall too many times.

Thanks, guys. As it happened, I skipped that level using a cheat (but while I play on a harder difficulty next time I won't use any cheats) so I am now on the Lost City. But I'm still taking your all'ls advice on jumping, since I have to jump up some ledges at the beginning. Thanks all, for your help!
