stuck in scrab nests!?!!
 
Hi all, new to this forum so bear with me. I can't get through the scrab nests, the part where you have to keep running from scrabs.Its the part where you have to roll near the end. Is there a clever way of getting round it or is it just getting the timing right?Hope you can help as I'm an abe virgin and am totally addicted.:fuzconf:

Abe virgin... *perverted grin*

Anywho... yes, timing is a big factor. You know how to run and then roll without stopping, right? That's the key to some of the levels.

She probably doesn't; it's a poorly documented feature. I got stuck in this very same place, and I know others did as well.

On PC, to roll while running without stopping, press "X" while you are running -- instant rolling. I think it's the same on Playstation, but I'm not familiar with that controller.
