gow2 infinite high jump (hammer only)

[rustynailrdm]

LAME

[mudm]

how you jump like this? i try jump likes but, i hold trianle (launch enemy with blade) take the hammer, pause, press start button in hammer again, and select press r2 to change to hammer, but the hammer still unavailable for a few seconds, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

[Leonzell]

i know that you posted this long ago and you probably figured it out already but still. what you do is you launch yourself into the air with icarus lift or holding triangle then while going up press R2 then when you see the hammer press L1 when you get to the top of the slam move press start then cycle back to hammer then when the screen is about to go back to gameplay start pressing R2 again then when you see the hammer press R1 then rince and repeat.

[chytownkid22]

i keep gettin the blockin blades... or the hammer comin out way late... what am i doin wrong...? and did anyone ever get the glitch where the hammer won't come out no more??? i just glitched my game where if i use like an attack with blades, and press r2 while doin it, hammer lights up on the left top, but soon as the blade move finishes the hammer automatically lights off.....

[EdderLoco]

lol! xD

[HardStyl3G0d]

:D lolz

[mudm]

how i jump like you?

[letmedoit25]

ya ya nice nice but you really didnt need to do all that....evryone listn in order to get across go by the checkpoint were you save your status at the box were you get your life out of, to the right of it start hitting the wall with your sword or wutever than a rock were come out and you should get on that rock and it will direct you

[ilikemynameNOTHING]

yeah. we know. thats the real way of doing it. he's showing you the way to do it *alternitivly*.

[y2j3456]

Could someone help me? Everytime i do the technique that shows on the video, i just don't gain any height in the air.

[pivotJON]

is this also possible withouth icarus wings?

[crazyeyes981]

holding square with blades(though i think you need lvl 2 or 3 or somthing)

[frankoredstrato]

lvl 1 holding triangle

[frankoredstrato]

holding triangle with blades in lvl 1

[RocManKing]

lol

[Adinkiller]

WTF?

[crazyeyes981]

hey, i <3 your vids, they got me (almost, i'm at endurance run) through titan mode faster than i did spartan, but i would really like to get this jump down. Could you tell me when you hit R2 after unpausing? i have done it a few times in a row but never consistently, also, do you use triangle or start button to unpause?

[crazyeyes981]

eek, nevermind, i skipped the first fight in endurance run XD

The trick to it is that when you unpause you still have the hammer wielded, a split second later it is unwielded, you need to wait for it to unwield or you just switch to blades and drop

[shenminiu]

The timing it hard to tell, basically as soon as you can control Kratos after un pause. And I used triangle button to unpause, it seems to be easier.

[ghoulunaticdylan]

do you press r2 when you unpause? or just press l1? because i can jump high but not infinitive and the last fight before the loom chamber on titan is killing me its to hard and i guess it would be nice if i finally completed titan mode :p

[DaigoroHUN]

same to me. that fight is a shit

[tdxgodbattle]

oh easy to do

[ipushmongo89]

I can't get this technique. I do the hammer, pause, change subs, unpause, then i can barely change to hammer quickly, and when i do, i hit L1 and all that happens is i block with the blades and fall to the ground. then once i hit the ground the hammer comes up.. what am i doing wrong?

[shenminiu]

You are not doing wrong, what you need is just get the right timing. The R2 timing after unpause is important, and don't press L1 and R2 together, R2 first. And it will be easier if you wait for 1-2 seconds in the pause menu.

[in00n3]

I can do the high jump (icarus lift + hammer L1), switch subs to hammer again, then do a jump and another L1 with the hammer, but at that point I cannot continue doing jumps/sub switch/L1. What am I doing wrong?

[shenminiu]

Nothing wrong, just get the right timing to switch. It's a bit difficult.

[in00n3]

I've heard some people say that you should be hitting L1+x again instead of x to do more high jumps on top of the first one. Is that true, or should I be just hitting x?

[shenminiu]

Well, I think that you misunderstood this "infinite jump". Acturally it is "infinite lift". L1+X, air hammer L1, pause, switch subs, unpause, air hammer L1, pause, switch subs, unpause......

Note that you don't need a "jump" after air hammer L1, the hammer L1 can add height. You can only jump once in the whole process.

[in00n3]

I understand that its infinite lift its just i didnt feel the button sequence was fully explained - it was just kinda said you icarus lift, l1, switch subs, then repeat. but yeah i understand now thanks.

[mybigtuberocks]

rofl awesome stuff

so wat's the point of doing this...?

[kevbew63]

I don't know how you switch sub weapons so quickly after coming out of the pause menu. That's my problem currently. It only works occasionally for me.

[shenminiu]

Timing is important, it seems that it will be easier if you wait for 1 or 2 seconds in the menu. And I found something interesting later: when I came back to the surface from Atlas, the infinite high jump became very easy to use, the timing is not so strict as before, I don't know why.

[kevbew63]

Good to know.  Thanks. I still have a lot of practicing to do before I get good at this. Great job on finding and demonstrating this.

[kevbew63]

Any testing thus far on the endurance run? I'm curious if there's a skip possible there and you seem to be the only one able to infinite jump at the moment.

[shenminiu]

I don't have a save data before the endurance run, but surely I will test it later.

[ManeshM84]

Yeah I tried it earlier and couldn't get the timing down consistently. This may also be useful to get enough height and glide towards the phoenix (skipping last spartan and kraken). We'd lose the lvl2 RotT but I'm sure we can manage without it!

[kevbew63]

Did you try to grab the ceiling from there? We could almost skip the whole Atlas colonoscopy if we can get to the ceiling from there and knock down those flesh things.

[kevbew63]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! I knew one of us would figure this out (probably not me, lol). And the list just keeps growing...

[BigVEE]

Speaking of which..I still need to add the PR one *though I like this variation far better*.

[kevbew63]

I like this one better too. No urns, normal play, etc.

When I try this I can do it occasionally but usually only once before I mess it up. I can't seem to get the timing down yet either. This technique is still very young... I'm sure we will get it with practice.

[shenminiu]

It's more difficult than the PR version. But I think this will be useful. Maybe we can skip the endurance run now?

[BigVEE]

Maybe YOU can..I still have to get better at timing it all..I'll be practicing THAT one as the PR one confuses me while playing on my timing issues.

~For now..I don't think the rest of us can really pull off these two new variations (indeed in a league of their own now) you've created/found..it could very well be up to you to test and use these

[BigVEE]

MADNESS!

[RJWaters2]

THIS IS OLYMPUS!!!

Er...great find!

[ManeshM84]

LOL you're a beast!!! I'll be back later to comment more.
