Assassin´s Creed II Message Board  

I'm at the point where Desmond gets pulled into one of Altair memories by the bleeding effect and I chased the mysterious woman to the tower where she closes the door behind her leaving me outside, so I start to climb up the tower, but when I reach the tiny balcony I can't go any further. There is a wooden lamp holder that looks like I should be able to grab on to it, but the game won't let me. I think it might be a bug. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

Run up the wall, and jump to the side.

Controls:

Free run up the wall. When you stop, move the control stick towards the wooden bar / light post bar and press A. Your character should then spring off the wall and reach the bar.

Good luck!

Thanx, but I tried everything to grab on to that thing. Thankfully I only rented the game. I'm going to try the PS3 version and see if I have better luck.

You should have just free run up the fall then press A and left to jump and grab it.

You need to perfect the advanced walljump. Run up a wall, then push the left stick towards the beam, then press A. This all needs to be done in High Profile (Right Trigger).

when you do that, don't forget to press "B" to grab on to the ledge. that part is most important.

The grab should be automatic. Ubisoft programmed contact points into the ledges and grabbable objects.

lol I was stuck at this same exact part like 2 hours ago. Sit on the ledge directly underneath the light poll and simply jump up and he'll grab it.
