Does anyone have any good hints about how to jump onto barrels and crates? I just suck at it or I'm not doing something right. I'm trying to get the 2nd jindol in the crypt by stacking some crates onto each other but I can't even jump on top of one. I suck. Do I need some special skill like atheletics and if so, what level? Do I need to perform certain key strokes or anything? Please help.

Frustrated,

Use zero key and look up. Also, make "stairs" with them.

You can also just run at the wall and hit "0" as you approach it. Have your character with the highest Agility score do this. (It's Agility that determines your success, not Athletics, interestingly enough.) I was able to do it with a character with 11 Agility, and didn't have to stack a single box. The higher the agility, the easier it will be. Plan to take some damage when getting down, though.

Thanks so very much. I completely missed reading the back of the manual, not noticing that pressing the zero is equivalent to jumping. I dunno how I was able to jump out of the sewers to get to Scabban w/o knowing this. Thanks again.
