Pokey and JohnBoy: Yes I checked god mode. I think I have figured out what I'm doing wrong. I think when I try to jump from the hotel to the other bldg. I don't make it and wind up at street level. (I have never landed on the other building). Does that sound reasonable? I'm just going to go back to the hotel save and try to start from there. It seems I have really confused you guys. I'm sorry. nu2gaming

Yes, if you don't make the jump you will fall into the alley.

In order to make the jump you must look slighty up, or Jack will fall. All jumps need to be done this way. Jack is also afraid of heights, so looking down over any kind of drop is usually not a good option unless you have no choice.

Don't be sorry. This is a really hard segment for so early in the game. It took all of us completely by surprise!

But you actually made it through the hardest part of the sequence. The rest is a little less intimidating, although those fishmen keep coming after you.

Thanks for all your encouragement. Yes, that is indeed what is happening. I miss the jump and end up in the alley. This apparently takes some skill I haven't yet developed. Oh well. Practice, practice, practice.

EDIT: AAARG!!! I've had it. I'm never going to make that jump. I'm so tired of those fishmen. Goodnight. nu2gaming

Jump and look up as you get to the edge. You'll make it eventually.

I know the feeling very well.

Hi; Has this happened to anyone else? Twice (in the hotel) before the escape attempt, the screen says "saving game", but when I get killed or miss the jump and wind up in the alley I have to start back at my last save (before following Gilman upstairs to my room). nu2gaming

You should be starting in bed, waking up to the goons breaking down your door. Are you clicking on "continue"? Backspace will bypass a lot of the videos.

WOW!!! I finally made it into the warehouse and to the star/save point. Now all I have to do is get past these guys and find that open window. nu2gaming

Congrats. It should be easier now--mostly sneaking. I found that if I observed their movement, I could run crouched from the office right through the warehouse. Keep your distance and watch them.

Pokey; Now you have me worried again. What office? I'm at the save/star and can't seem to get out of that corner. I sure haven't seen an office. I'm on the verge of just trying to barge my way past them to get out of this corner. No matter how long I wait crouched, in stealth, they are always there the minute I move. nu2gaming

There is a short piece before the office. Try moving from one group of boxes to the next. I got spotted about halfway and made a run for the window. After you try it a few times, you can do it without getting hurt too bad. I usually used crouched without stealth.

ok. I'm totally stumped again. I'm on the floor of the warehouse. Should I be up on the catwalk? I can see a door up there but I don't find any way to get to it. I'm not seeing a guy with a flashlight, just two guys who keep repeating "Don't let him get away! Shoot him!" Ive tried jumping up on some boxes below a window but nothing is happening. Don't you just press the "space bar" to jump? I spent two days getting from the hotel room to this warehouse. I looks like it may take me that long to get out. nu2gaming

Yes, you need to be on the catwalk. Climb up some boxes and then follow the catwalk to a window at the side of the warehouse. Jump is the spacebar.

Pokey you're a doll! ok. I've gotten as far as the sewer. (didn't accomplish anything in the warehouse except finally getting out). I'm in the sewer. I've done the switches on the pipes, turned the crank, did the switches on the pipes again and turned the crank again. I'm not finding the floodgate. Is it in the room with the crank or back in the sewer? Where? nu2gaming

The floodgate it in the vat. The crank for the floodgate is right beside the vat. Once you've flushed the vat with water, you turn the floodgate crank one more time to empty it, dash up that ladder, down into the vat, and skedaddle through before it closes again.
