Get rid of jumping puzzle in Kugane

[Kohdo]

Edit: I am so sorry. After doing this myself I somewhat agree with OP. Getting to the top of the tower should have been where the sightseeing point is. That alone was enough of a pain, given all the invisible walls in this game. Jumping off onto the lamp post is just poor game design. Apparently SE didn't learn a thing from the player reaction to the notoriously shitty North Shroud jump.

Challenging is one thing, but this kind of indifference to the limitations of the game in regards object hitboxes and precise positioning is just atrocious design.

I don't think it needs to be removed but both jumping and the collision on the tower could use reworking because it was far stressful than it needed to be. I spent two days and only got about 3/4 of the way up because of the lack of control with jumps or just smacking into an invisible wall that shouldn't be there.

Eventually my Eternal Bond partner took pity on me and marriage ported to where I was before going the rest of the way up so I could port to him. As it is, my mom (who also plays) refuses to get this sightseeing point even though she's gotten nearly all the others on her own.

At least SB ones are possible to complete, even if difficult. I'm still stuck doing ARR ones and one of them is totally bugged. Or you just have to be extremely lucky. If it is bugged, there's a chance it won't be fixed. Either way, I'll be salty for all eternity and cursing these logs on my deathbed.

Just marry someone who can do it and ring to them. I suck at jump puzzles and the fact that my hands are twitchy little jerks sometimes doesn't help me at all. My boyfriend did it and I ringed to him because I'm a dirty cheat.

This is actually what I did haha ;P I tried it myself for a while but I simply suck at jump challenges and I just don't have the patience for them. All I wanted was that sightseeing log for XP and completion. I did make numerous screenshots while I was up there though, knowing i'd probably never get to go back there again :P

Are you talking about the North Shroud logs? If so, there's a well known trick to it.

Nah, I'm talking about the one in the Leatherworkers' Guild. Log #9, I believe. A friend and I tried for hours and hours to get the jump right, but we can't make it. The closest I've gotten was stuck on the edge, but I immediately fell. Used peloton, sprint, video guides, moving and trying angles every which way. Nothing. The only solution I've received was "lower your fps" but I'm on a PS4.

"I can't do it, so get rid of it."

No.

It definitely needs to be reworked, though, you have to admit.

Practice with some Mario Bros. : D

Sorry for the Necro here...

I've been trying for nearly two hours

Now, I'm sure you've probably cleared the puzzle by now. But let me tell you, it took me 3 months and encouragement from my FC to make it to the top. I've scaled twice now and the second time up was alot easier than the first. It's tricky as hell, yes. The odd hitboxes don't help, yes. But it's so freaking rewarding to know you had the drive to reach the top.



This is me (center), my wife (Lala on my left) and my daughter (Lala on my right) after me and my wife scaled it for the first time tonight.

Sorry if you don't like them. Others so and have the skill and patience to get them done.
Also (YP) wants to add more.
