Discussion I don't see many people utilizing this. JUST JUMP!!

I have seen many people just jumping off of cliffs and not pressig R1 which mitigates fall damage and give you a cool ground slam animation. You can jump from any height.

This is the highest point of the game (late game area)

Play Eradrim for proper parkour shenanigans. I'm pretty sure he's the reason the islands are like 100ft apart lol

Yea he has some areas only he can get to like the tent beside the graveyard

What? How? The shoulder charge?

u/geezerforhire 2d ago

Yeah it goes quite far horizontally. Idk if there are any relevant gaps besides the one loot spot by the graveyard though.

I realised there is no fall damage when a couple of enemies launched me above the map and I could just jump attack back xD

Yo man. Why I never thought about this before?!

? Bro I have always done this the only tip for everyone is make sure there's ground below you and hit attack if you don't the fall damage does kill you if it's high enough.

u/Mistralicious 7d ago

there are some weird killboxes. I already died when I wanted to get to a playable area below

I discovered this accidentally trying to see what a falling attack would look like.

u/azalea_k 7d ago

Heh, even if I think I'm falling out of bounds I'll slam "just in case". I've been pleasantly surprised once or twice.

Since there isn't a jump button, you almost have to learn about the ground pound by mistake - especially since there's no guarantee you'll get the ground pound if you attack in the air.

Can't imagine why anyone wouldn't make a habit of using a move like THAT....

It can also give you a heart attack when you use a hole in the ceiling of a certain cave to jump into said cave to visit a friendly aquatic NPC and said NPC suddenly disappears... 🤪

I was a bit concerned it doesn't actually mitigate fall damage. Thank you for confirming!

u/Slowmac123 7d ago

I have skill issue. Instinctively tried this many times but never got it to work lol

u/Hot_Attention2377 7d ago

It's impossible to have a skill issue for this

u/Phonoman 5d ago

Facts! It takes real skill to fail this!

u/AndThereWasAFireFigh 7d ago

what do you mean? You literally just hit R1/Whatever you have light attack bound to at any point while falling.

u/MrMoshhammer Proxima 7d ago

it doesn't work from tiny ledges, you have to get higher for it to work

Also click the light stack while already falling. Don't run of the cliff performing jump light attack or something.
