adams_ale Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I just got Pitfall II and I like it but I can't get past the ladders. Every time I go to the ladder to go down I just fall until I get hit by a bat and started over. How in the world do you climb down the ladder? I read the html instructions that said to pull backwards right before the hole to get down the ladder but that was no help. Is it supposed to be this tricky? geez... Oh it is easy!!!! It said pull backwards in the instructions when it should have said pull downwards. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 its not that hard at all, Pull the stick down as you approach the ladder (thus the joystick is at a diagonal. Harry will pop onto the ladder. Try it early on with a ladder that has no creatures near it until you get used to it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 dont pull down when he is over the hole pull down when he is near the hole pitfall harry will then climb down the hole. I also had that problem at first, youll get used to it quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah, I try to get a perfect game every once in a while, but have yet to do it. The ladders sometimes get me also but if you hit a direction after you fall you will eventually hit a platform. Great game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 If you DO find yourself falling you can pull either left or right (depending on which edge you're closest to) and Harry will drift in that direction and eventually land on a platform. With any luck you'll land before a bat gets you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonicgo Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 sometimes it's best on that part to just fall and hit the water. if you hit a platform, you lose points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
