AotCR Pelican Ride.. Redux
Posted By: WalkerDate: 4/13/02 8:01 a.m.

Well now Ive managed to ride the Pelican down from the first bridge a total of three times. I think a large part of my success so far has been luck but heres some things I have found.

I have a much better chance if I do NOT open fire on the Cov first. If I just run out to the "jump" point then defend myself I tend to be in much better shape (health/shields) when I jump.

In my first description I mis-stated the jump point. I said it was to the right of the second set of ramps but it is on the left side of the wall on the left of the second set of ramps.

I found that if I pactice my genade jump without waiting for the Pelican I dont have to fight the Cov and I can take more time with grenade placement. The objective of this jump is to have your body land beyond the pair of boulders on the ground. When youjump from the right place you will see what boulders Im talking about. If you can do this you are putting the grenade in a good spot to get you over the pelican.

The one thing I havent been able to figure out is the timing of the jump. Most of the time I jump too soon and I pass well in front of the Pelican. Other times I wait too long and die before I get to the Pelican. It appears that the timing of this one is going to have to be pretty precise and thats why I say a good part of my success has been luck.

Anyway, now that Ive managed to do it a couple more times and have a little more info someone else (Frogblast?) can get it right.
