I’m playing with the keyboard and mouse, and the climbing is very clunky so far overall, but it seems completely broken for the spire.

when I get to the second to the last hand holds and I have to reach out and then long jump to the highest hand holds so that I can jump into the spire, aloy reaches out but only jumps to the left or right off the spire, she will not jump up to the highest, final handhold, even if she’s reaching straight up.

has anyone else played this with a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller?

I’ve tried different key bindings and default, but she only jumps left or right off the spire and refuses to jump up to the highest handhold.

it looks very much like this guys problem, but he’s playing it with a controller and finally solved it, sayd his problem was custom key bindings and the solution was default, but I can’t get anywhere with these keyboard controls.

    I think you possibly went the wrong way round. I think you went up the right side first, then you go left. If you go left, then left again, the shape of the spire is different and the jump won’t go so far to the left. Check out this vid from about 1:50m in.

    Good luck

      thanks for checking, I’ve watched a bunch of spire videos, and went both ways around. I tried about 20 times, she can’t do that little hop onto the handhold before the long jump in the version I have, at least with a keyboard and every key binding and direction I tried. She can long jump right or left, but not in any upward direction on my install, which is necessary for the final handhold before jumping into the spire.

      and the jumping seemed really janky the whole time that I was playing.

      I’m going to try other versions of the game some other time. there are other good games to play for now.

    It’s been a year, so I don’t have a specific memory of a solution, but I must have done it. That’s pretty early in the game, isn’t it?

      yea, it’s still during but tutorial. basically, it’s the first time they’re teaching you how to do long jumps from hand holds that are too far apart.

      so if it’s far above you you hold up, she bounces on her knees and then if you push jump, in the first game I remember she sort of short hops onto the handhold and then jumps off of the hand hold, but for forbid and West she just jumps left or right normally and will not jump up onto the next hand hold which is too far away.

      it’s very bizarre and I played the first game with a controller, so I’m not sure what is going wrong here.

      I’ve made it to the handhold right before the last handhold before I jump into the tower. I assume because there’s a giant open tower panel, but I can’t get to the last handhold before I jump into the panel because she won’t do the far jump, she only jumps left or right even if she’s reaching toward the next handheld, it’s really weird
