Advance Jump/Assassin's Tomb/Visitazione's Secret | Forums

I have spent hours in this nightmare of a place trying that so called "advanced jump" and every time I "run up a wall and move LS right and push A to jump right Ezio does a 180 and jumps into the water. Is there any way (cheat or code or patch) to get around this ?? I have spent way to much time in here. If not is it really worth it to get the armour and weapons back at the villa? This is the last tomb for me to get through to open the vault. PLEASE I need an answer not more hints or clues

Do you use this jump in other situations, and it works? It could be about timing, press right before you press jump, not when you start to run up the wall.

I had the same experience as you -- lots of 180 turns into the water.

The problem for me was hitting "up" on the left analog stick and then simultaneously (or with too close timing) moving the stick "right" and hitting the "jump" button, as though I had to rush my jump while on the wall. Result: 180 turn, as though the controller was reading "right" and "jump" as "back" and "jump" -- the intentional back-jump.

There's no need to rush. If you move the controller stick up (so you run up the wall) and then right (to give the jump the correct direction) and THEN a split second later hit the jump button, you'll be fine. The controller will understand that "right" is a separate command, followed by "jump". And once your hands learn the timing of the drill, advanced jumps shouldn't be a problem again.

Same here Gadfly, I was rushing it in that tomb. He's right haskelld, just don't rush it. Be deliberate with your controller commands and stay patient.

You'll get it. A good many of us did a number of 180's back into the water. Maybe even sacrificing a controller along the way in frustration.

I didn't quite get that far, but there were certainly a few times I was tempted to bounce my controller off the wall or even the TV screen. Even now I know how to do them, I still occasionally screw up wall jumps and end up flipping backwards.

My advice is to practice first just running at a wall and paying attention to how far up the wall you run before starting to fall back down again. I find the trick is to move the stick to the side just before reaching the apex of the run up the wall and hitting the jump button slightly after... around the time you hit the high point of the jump.

I find that just holding down the right trigger and the A button even during the wall run and jump help in the end. Therefore all you would need to do is hold down those buttons then shift the analog stick in the direction you wish to jump in.

Also the clock lasts long enough so you can jog through the jumps and obstacles, so take your time and study the layout well. Good luck. ^_^

I spent about 13 hours trying to beat this zone. I was really frustrated. I got some help from another post on this site

Gadfly's and other's suggestion helped. However, I believe that the game programmer made the positions really tight. Everything has to be almost perfect. Personally I do not like timed, tight challenges like this one. They depend only on hand/eye coordination and speed. AC2 is a different game than first person shooters in that it depends heavily on strategy more than coordination. I really enjoyed this game for that reason. That said, I wish the programmers would provide alternate clever means to beat levels like this one. For example, if you get the first three levers down, then provide a clever way to get the fourth down without the clock. Or have a timer that adds a few seconds to the time-out every 15 minutes of play. I almost abandoned this game as a result of this one tomb. Hopefully the designers will be listening and AC3 will have less timed activities and more stealth, strategy and clever ones.

Agreed. Strange thing is that when I finally did it I had some spare time left! I HATE the timed sequences and therefore I also hate doing any of the races.

I came close...REAL close!
I've dome it in the past with older game systems as I'll admit I have a short fuse but the Xbox controller is a tad more expensive! Being retired and living on a pension is not too conducive to giving into my fast temper any longer by throwing things across the room! Patience may be a virtue, but I don't have the patience to achieve it!
