Stuck at Statue

[XyZspineZyX]

Okay........early in the game.......you have to climb up a statue (before you get the dagger)....close to where the head is how do you get over this part......

I know how to jump from wall to wall but this isn't working.

I know hold the right trigger........run hit the A key......then again again etc. but he falls and won't jump past maybe 2 times.

Around the head part you run up the wall towards the head, and jump from wall to wall. You'd be doing it right just you aren't getting the timing on the jumps right probably

Okay I got this but how long did it take for you to get the timing down? I have been stuck here for over an hour.........just trying to jump from wall to wall.

This is terrible game design!!!!!!!!!!!

I play alot of games and to be stuck this early in a game because of a "timing" issues is awful!

I your sure it's not just a bug!

I can't help much with timing, best advice i can say is watch what type of position your in when you do get the prince to jump off the wall correctly. Also might be good to get good at doing this theres quite a few points in the game where you have to use wall jumping to go up or down.

As for it being a bug I haven't seen anything on the forums about it but you never know i guess.

One last thing i might say is try different positions, closer/farther from the camera/wall

Maybe someone else can help you more than I can.

i didnt have any trouble with this part. you have 2 walls, you run up one then hit jump + the direction of the other wall and then i keeping doing that and i got up just fine. first try and everything.

jump+left jump+right jump+left jump+right untill i got to the top

I finally got past this. It seems like timing for wall jumping isn't limited to "pressing" the A button at the right time and also the timing of the "release" of the A button.

I also figured out there's a connection to the timing of wall jumping and the sound he makes when he's on the wall.......

interesting.........but I still don't think it should have taken me an hour to get past this point.

Call me dumb.....but it still seemed very odd.

I love the game though. And even more after this challenge. It's so darn cool!

The only thing I was able to figure out was that you need to jump as soon as his leading foot touches the wall. It's difficult sometimes, thanks to camera angles, but it's not so bad when you get the hang of it.

At first it's hard, here's the easiest way to deal with these wall to wall jumps, Go in to landscape view (white button on XBox, I think it's R1 or R2 on PS2), zoom in, as you jump, the camera will track you, when the lead foot touches wall, press jump button....easy pleezy.

I started playing PoP last night and got stuck at the statue head. Will someone please tell how to jump from the head to the wall with specific detail. I'm really trying hard to follow all your instructions but nothing helps. I'm a fairly experienced game player and am very frustrated at this point.
Thanks very much!!

You will get past this. Jump from wall to wall the way you have in earlier parts of the game.......but in this case you of course have to jump more times. I think it's like 3 or 4........

here's what helped me out. Listen to the sound of his grunts......it's a timing thing with the release of the A button. You press the A button to jump but time the release of the button as he grunts......this is the key.
