GAAAAARRRR!
 
I play Oddworld 2: Abe's Exoddus on PC and I've got this problem that comes up frequently through the game.

Sometimes whenever I hit a meat sack for a small piece of meat, it just bounces weakly to the ledge and there is no way that I know of that can pick it up.

Reason being is that I can't crouch exactly above it because I'll just climb down and hang on the ledge...

It's SO annoying.

Any suggestions on how to battle this problem would be greatly appreciated because I need all the help I can get.

Many, many, many people get stuck here. The one in Paramonia, right?
I'll try to help oout here, but I own a Playstation, not a PC. There is a cirtain botton that will allow you to crouch next to the Meat and pick it up. Look on the manual for what botton to press, because as I have said before, I own a Playstation.
When you find out which botton it is, crouch next to the Meat, you don't have to be ontop of it.

Oh, thanks Cullen, it turns out it was the CTRL button all along.

(The action button -- man i'm an idiot)

But thanks again Cullen, without you I would of never checked the manual. :)

Sure, no problem.

I've always been able to get the paramite from the next screen to chase me back to this one, jump to the ledge, and have him run right off a cliff. Don't know why it worked, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

GAAAAARRRR!

I've encounter yet another small problem.

I dont know how to drop down into a roll whilst running.

Those annoying paramites keep killing me every quick save. :(

Whilst you're running, hit X, if my memory serves me correctly.

Wowo, thanks a bunch woof.

Now I can finally finish the Mudumo Trials.

This forum is pretty helpful, I gotta add it to favourites.

I've had the meat sack problem for ages a couple of years ago. and I didn't the internet so I had to go through the game without picking up the meat or rocks that bounce to the edge. I'm telling you, it's like setting the difficulty on expert!

Yeah i have Oddworld 2 for Both PC and Playstation. (Dont see the point in that though)

So I know Both ways.:p :D

Lmao.

Did you pass the game in the end?

Well, you think that's tough?

I also past the Paramite Gauntlet without knowing how to roll whilst running. or that I can run and jump and then hoist. I'm telling you - that's nigh-impossible.

Jarrardo 01-31-2006 12:53 AM

Well, did you finish the game? :)

oddveteran93 01-31-2006 02:05 AM

I finished the game, eventually.

Slaveless 01-31-2006 01:45 PM

Oddly, I never came to this problem. I'm not bragging or anything, I'm just saying.

Jarrardo 02-01-2006 11:38 PM

Oh my odd, we've got a a natural 'ere.
