ARGH, impossible first chest in Stage 4 (Urb Ex)?

Rehevkor · 09-29-2010, 07:34 PM

This is driving me insane. In stage 4 near the start, when you climb up the steep hill and then onto the first metal platform, you can see a chest to the left if you look that way. I absolutely cannot figure out how to get to it though.

There are two of those floating rocks; the chest is on the top one. I can RARELY get onto the bottom one by sprint jumping from the metal platform, but I see no way at all to get up to the chest (you can't climb the sides of these floating rocks). What gives?

There's also one other chest and a skiff I'm missing in this level, and I can't find them anywhere. Help!

Figures, I got them right after posting this.

There are two chests at the start. The platforms leading to the first are visible to the left near the bottom of the big hill at the start of the level. The second is the one I described above.

You have to do a sprint jump at the block, but you can't land on it this way. You have to hit LT (the button the plants your sword and raises a barrier) when you smack into the side of the block, then hit jump to fling yourself upward. You have to do this for both of those chests. Took me forever to get it right.

The skiff I was missing is in a vertical pipe right after the guy who talks about working there to support his family. Jump up into the pipe and plant your sword in the inside wall of it, then hit jump to fling yourself up into a teleporter. The skiff is at the very top of the big room on the other side; just climb up the right hand wall and climb across the roof to get it.

These level designers are some brilliant, sadistic bastards.

Yeah, tell me about it. Every stage has about one chest I can absolutely not find. It's driving me nuts.

I know one is in a pipe right after you talk to the guy who tells you to find the foreman. It's hanging on the ceiling in the room with all the bouncy things. Hopefully that's the one you're missing.
