Arghh, I am at the Jail of Tartarus, heading to Hyperion, I think. The problem is, I have settled everything in Jail of Tartarus, and have pushed all the cranks to reveal two platforms which I have to jump over to get into a cave, I think. The thing is, I can't seem to be able to jump from the first platform to the second platform. So how?

Everytime I jump from the first to the second platform (try to double jump), I will fall all the way down and die.

How? I tried all methods, but it seems that the second platform is too far from the first, compared to the first platform from the ground.

are you jumping with your gauntlet of Zues, you can't jump as high in that so try it with your blades of Chaos!

IF i'm thinking of the correct place in the game, you may not have broken some of the columns in the hallways of the jails, etc. There are a couple of platforms to jump on. One is higher than the other. The upper one came down first when I played (by breaking some columns) and then I had to go back and break some more columns to get the other platform to come down.

But again, this may not be the exact place you're referring to, so please forgive me if i'm wrong.

U could always check a walkthrough of the game.

Yeah, I have turned all the cranks to lower the two platforms down. It so happens that even after rotating these platforms down, one is still higher than the other. The sequence goes like this:

1. From the ground, double jump to the first lower platform.

2. From the lower platform, double jump to the higher platform (this is the problem, I just cannot manage the double jump without falling all the way down).

3. From the higher platform, jump to the ground.

So how?

If possible, can somebody just post a video of that particular part (the whole jumping process)?

Time it carefully, very carefully and use the Blades of chaos, as they stated...

From one of the walkthroughs on gamespot....

"I've been getting a lot of questions for this part, jumping the platforms. Why
it wasn't in the guide in the first place is because for my many times playing
the game I never had this problem, I always made it to the second platform on
my first jump. After trying it some times I see why people don't make the jump.
Don't run right to the edge of the first platform then jump because this will
make Kratos momentarily pause and make your jump too short. So what you do is
run and just before you reach the edge (don't touch it) jump and while in the
air jump again (doing a double jump) and you should grab onto the platform. I always did this and I always made it."
I never had this problem either.

Since everyone I know has been looking for an answer to this seemingly insurmountable problem, I thought I would share what I have discovered though it may be a bit late. Anyway, I had the same problem and searched everywhere for the answer till I found this:

"You need to leave a pause/space in between your jumps. X....X"

Where I always fall to my death when I tap the X key too quickly, I tried the trick above and wait a nanosec or slightly more before hitting the X key again and it worked!! Just hit the X a second time as Kratos is about to end his first jump.
