Re: Dathomir Help Needed! No way for me to progress as I don’t have force push

I’m stuck in the area where you first see the nightbrother village. You are supposed to pull the bridge down and run left down a slope. For some reason my character doesn’t make the jump no matter what I do and from seeing other walkthroughs they just jump over with ease and a lot of room left. I can’t continue the game now

    Slope glitch jump FIXED. I had this exact problem for half an hour, when the character respawns try turning around and jumping backwards. I managed to clear the jump going backwards and facing the wall. It could be pure luck or it might be a fix.

    Is this realy a glitch where your force push has stopped working?, or is it a case of people didn't follow the story path and got themselves stuck by keep on trying to make the jump and got lucky.

    i played dath, up until i got to the old man for the XP, then went back to my ship and continued the story till it sent me back there again.

    If people did make the jump, it's not EA's fault they kept attempting it and got stuck, knowing he stated he can't jump that far yet, however it is their fault they allowed people to make it, so it's both the players and EA's

    @nemhook This thread seems to have two problems but in general can use the same solution. For some, people went to Dathomir first and got stuck due to not having the Force Pull ability. Which the game never says you need to be able to progress on that planet. Then there’s people like me, where if you die on the bridge after force pulling it, the bridge disappears and won’t show back up again and the jump across is impossible. This is in no way the players fault, unless you want to say dying on that bridge is the players fault and corrupting the game by removing the bridge after dying on it is a feature and not a bug, which would make no sense cause around 60% of the way through the game and they’d put a “feature” that gets you completely stuck and have to start the game from scratch? I don’t think so. All I’m saying is either scenario, it is in no way the players fault.

    @WarayClaro Ignorance is no excuse, i went to dath first and played up until i met the old man and needed double jump to move on, at which point it states i can't jump that far yet, if you keep attempting and make it, that is your own fault.

    But for people that played the campaign properly and had force push but it bugged later on, then that's not their fault.

    @nemhook I see where you’re coming from but the game does not explicitly say you NEED double jump to get across the jump, of course when faced with something like this with no indication or the game not showing/telling you you shouldn’t go that way, people will assume it’s possible and try it. Think about it, if we were playing a game and hadn’t watched a tutorial on what to do and we got to a part where there’s a section of the game where it looks like you could progress if you tried hard enough, and the game didn’t tell you you aren’t supposed to go that way, I’d assume it’s safe to go that way. They should have had something or some pop-up saying that they shouldn’t proceed without the needed abilities, because even early in the game you’re told you can either got to Dathomir or the other planet. Idk, I got there legit and went to all the other planets beforehand and the bridge is just glitched but I can see where people thought that continuing on, even on a difficult but apparently possible jump, is alright and part of the game because the game told them they could go to that planet. But, I see your point, trying to push the game too far and make a jump that might clearly need added abilities might be a stretch but it’s not like the game instructed you not to do so, some might even believe you’re supposed to make it, or you’re supposed to be able to jump there.

    @nemhook Okay, so I was probably one of the first to discover the bug with getting past the jump, and if you read my bug report you would know that I stated that on my attempt I seemed to gain a double jump just this one time, so by using your logic this is my fault how??? I'd also like to point out that I used to be a games tester and the point of testing a game is to ensure that players can't break it. No matter how all the other victims of these bugs got there, it is the failing of the developer that it occurred in the first place, particularly as Dathomir is a location the game does not prevent you from heading to our of sequence, in fact in many respects the narrative encourages it!

    @Robrobot007 Thank you, I’ll have to agree that this is all on the side of the developers. This planet just seems to cause problems. I get on every day trying to try new things in order to hopefully get the bug resolved and get the bridge to spawn. But to no avail, I’ll just have to probably wait till there’s a patch, if there is one on the way. Thanks for your input, I don’t think it’s players fault at all for these situations

    Hi all, we are trying to reproduce the "trick jump" that gets you across the chasm before you've gotten Double Jump. This is the jump right after meeting the Stranger in the robe, which shouldn't be possible.

    Could anyone point me toward a video of this jump being made? Doing our best here to patch this -- as being able to make this jump is what leads to other progression blockers further into Dathomir, which you should not be able to access at this point in the game.

    Thank you!

    @DaveRespawnAcct It should be after you talk to the man in the black cloak. There’s also a problem for people who got across the jump the correct way and died on the bridge in the nightbrothers hideout that people (like myself) are running into. The bridge disappears and you are completely unable to backtrack or progress.

    @DaveRespawnAcct I also have had the bridge disappear, rendering the game unplayable. I managed to glitch my back towards my ship and switch planets, but when I returned to progress through the story, the bridge is still nowhere to be found.

    @Atronach01 There is an elavator platform that seems un reachable without some new climbing tech, next to that is a wall with a slight edge that sticks out, you can jump on the edge and finnese your way up the the elevator and make your way back to the ship
