Hi,
I've got problems in the Shadows Altar Section.
I'm nerve-racked of the forward and side rolls. So I have the skill athletics only on a value of 1. With a higher value my character always rolls and jumps and so on. That's absolutely unfunny
The problem is to get the shadow crystal in the western shadow altar section. I can only reach it with the back jump and therefore I have to increase athletics on 4. But I don't wanna do this, because of the bad movement after that.
Has anyone an idea how I can get the crystal without doing that or how I can switch off the maneuvers?
Thanks for your help!

I'm with you I hate the forward roll so I never put any points in athletics. Here is how I got that shadow crystal. Stand just outside the doorway to the wind tunnel room on the left hand side. Angle yourself toward the far right hand corner of the room and run in at that angle. Jump approximately halfway between the wall and where the wind starts (I know that’s hard to judge). Start repeatedly pressing 'shift' as quickly as you can. You may need to mess with your jump timing but this will work. I think the trick must be hitting the vortex at this angle as opposed to strait on. I've been through this area twice with no points in athletics. Good luck, D

I did it, thanks a lot!
