OK, Let me list the things I've done and the things I've tried first. I've created both a Human Male Fighter/Marauder and Human Female Fighter/Valkyrie. Both are stuck at exactly the same place in the Pillars Room. Here's the setup:
Have killed the Elder. Have successfully navigated the first 2 landings (South and West) and have activated both pressure plates. I'm on the middle pillar in the room facing north. I've got 2 pillars between me and the North landing (and freedom from this cursed room ). The pillar directly north of me is twice as high as previous pillars I had to jump to. I walk to the very edge of the pillar I'm on and when I jump (using spacebar and forward arrow) I "almost" reach the top to pull myself up, but land a bit short every time. I've tried with and without armor/weapons on. I have no penalties and have 5 in athletics. My stats are in the 30/40's range I'm level 11 with the male and 8 or 9 with the female. I've tried jumping from a diagonal pillar, but that's even worse (which only makes sense since the distance is longer). I don't know what else to try, and having read and posted on other threads, don't see anyone else with the same problem so was wondering if perhaps I'm doing some simple thing wrong. Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Nope, both have been activated, and only once. If I'd missed the 2nd one, the pillar in front of me would be all the way to the ceiling instead of where it is now...good call though
This might just be a bug. We had a guy post here a while back that he couldn't leave Fargrove because the west gate only went partway up. So maybe the pillar is only going partway down, and that's why you can't jump to it.
If you like the game, then your best bet might be to wait until the 1.2 patch comes out.
