[Eternal] Platforming help?
BLUF for those Googling Urdak jump: jump-jump-dash-dash is longer than other combinations. That's the only way to reach the door from the last platform or directly from the booster ring.
I'm on Urdak. I need to make a jump before aligning the third teleporter ring. There's a climbable wall, two floating platforms, and an entrance where I need to shoot at a green thingy to deactivate the lasers.
I can make the jump from the climbable wall and the first platform, and between the platforms. (I usually just skip the wall because the booster ring can propel you straight into the first floating platform.) But I can't, for the love of everything that is unholy, make that motherfucking shit-ass cunt-mouthed last jump. I always fall just a bit short of the entrance even with a double jump and the double dash. In fact, whenever I dash my speed seems to actually DROP OFF.
I'm about to uninstall the game. I have literally fallen hundreds of times. I wanted to play Doom, not Mirror's Fucking Edge.
Help anybody? (If all you have to add is "git gud scrub" then respectfully fuck off, I know I suck at everything, I don't need the reminder.)
(PS4 if that matters. It probably does, considering just how imprecise the controls are with a DS4.)
Edit: Nevermind, I made it. Turns out, the key is to "jump jump dash dash", not "jump dash jump dash". As I mentioned before, I suck.
Edit2: Weird to see comments on here two weeks after posting, turns out it's quite high on Google if you search "urdak jump". Hence the added BLUF, maybe that will be on Google's front page and spare a click for some people.
Same dude. It’s pissing me off to no fucking end. I seriously just want to glory kill whoever approved this bullshit. I’m here to kill demons, not spend fucking hours trying to get through a GODDAMN DOOR SO I CAN FINISH THE GAME

If you're still stuck, turns out the dash is a fixed-length forward movement with a constant speed at the end, regardless of your speed before the dash.
Which would be an absolutely brilliant loading screen tip if you die of falling rather than fighting...
Just a heads up you can skip the whole shitty platform part with the booster. Also whoever made this need to be brutally fucking butchered.
I've been a long time Doom fan since it came out on the PC. In the last Doom game platforming was tolerable, but in Doom Eternal it is complete and utter bullshit. I shouldn't be spending over 90% of my time trying to get past the platforming sections. I'm about to give up on it and go back to Fallout 4.
You can skip the platforming by hitting the booster and "air walking" to the gate with the button. Don't strafe just hold forwards and turn with the mouse. You might need to jump to make it but sometimes if you get the angle right you don't. Whatever you do don't dash tho that stops you dead.
This whole thing could have been preventable by putting a respawning zombie inside the door. That way even if you fuck up the jump you could meathook yourself into the room (and it would be very much congruent with the game's philosophy).
Fucking hell! I died like twenty times here then made it on my first attempt with this tip. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this!!! I was just about to uninstall this shitty game after failing this like 50 times. I'm already soooooooo bored of this game. It's called doom eternal because it's mostly padding and filler sadly. Very disappointed in this game. I'll never play DOOM again and I'm the biggest doom fan I know. To sum this game up in four words, WAY overstayed it's welcome.
holy shit. Thank you so much for that tip. This kind of platforming is just BS...
Confirmed. I died a tonne before realising you can skip this bullshit.
Just hit forward (W) and strafe with mouse. You can make it. Without having to use the wall and platforms. My biggest complaint about this game, is the bullshit platforming. I feel like I have to work out bs jumps rather than rip and tearing.
I'm on Xbox One and I HATE the jumping. I'm I think on the second level. I fall all the time. So you said I skip but I don't quite understand how. I'm in this fire lava scene where you have to keep jumping on metal platforms that fall fast once you land, eventually you then get to a yellow bar to jump and then a boost and then another yellow bar?! WTF. Can I skip all this?? Please.
Yup, as you said, do not Dash. It will kill all your momentum. Jumping conserves momentum
What the fuck is the logic behind all this platforming shit? The fucking residents of that city did not spend their days jumping between the fucking buildings right? They would have walked, why the fuck am I clinging to the side of a fucking floating building shooting timed portals instead of taking an elevator
PS Fuck this game now i have to punch some silly bitch to death instead of shooting her with the GODDAMN BFG.
This is not doom
Good point though I believe Maykrs can fly (or at least float) so for them these booster rings might be kind of like moving walkways.
Just a heads up after reading this I gave it a shot with a twist on OP's idea, you can literally launch yourself straight to the button avoiding the climbing walls. I got it the second time I tried it after guessing it may work.
Falling platforms in the air. Spinning blades of fire. The platforming bullshit is literally stolen from Mario. How did Bethesda even approve this nonsense? Has Nintendo even noticed?
Yeah it was such a pain, i was actually enjoying the platforming aspects untill this moment. What i did to get through was after going through the boost completely ignore all the floating pillars and go straight to the place you need to enter.
I cant even make the first jump through the two rings at the levels start and had to abandon the entire playthrough. I cant fall another 100 times and keep my sanity. What a waste of a good game otherwise.
Yeah its really pissing me off. Seems like when I dash first or jump first it works don't mix them like you said.
You can just skip it straight from the booster ring.
What the fuck?!?!
Died several times trying to do the floating wall bullshit. What the hell?
I've been doing this for 40 mins before I looked up if I was doing anything wrong. Turns out it's just dogshit design.
I used the missile launcher. The rocket flies slower than other projectiles. I shot the rocket, jumped through the ring and went straight for the door. The rocket landed on the switch one or two seconds before i got to the door so I was able to get through. It took ages to get it the "proper" way and I got it on the first try with the missile launcher. Make sure to keep your double jump and dashes for the end of the jump or you will fall short.
Clever! Hitting the switch was never an issue for me (I just used the plasma rifle) but this is a good hint for those who are struggling with that.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t jumped on here with a fucking “Git Gud“ comment...
I'm 99% certain that after the first day or two all of the new comments (and views, for that matter) on this post come from people googling for a way to make that fucking jump. When the post was new enough to be on the front page of the subreddit it didn't get enough upvotes to get there, and the people specifically looking for a way to make that jump are unlikely to comment "git gud".
Well, either that or preliminary telling them respectfully to fuck right off did the trick. But I think the first option is more likely.
Turn the slow time rune on that lets you shoot midair in slower time along with the tune that gives you better air control. I put those on and got it first try after failing multiple times without em
Shooting the target wasn't the issue. The problem was that apparently dashing is a fixed-length forward move with a constant speed afterwards, regardless of your speed before dashing. Which would be an amazing loading tip, especially if you die because of that...
what i did was jump to the door.
best way to do this? get the in air faster movement rune then equip the lmg (heavy cannon if i remember correctly) and just go through the booster ring then strafe towards the wall and spray youll just BARELY make it
I'm currently stuck on level 12, same shit.. I grab on to a wall , jump to next wall, THEN as I jump to the platform. Theres a gate which I can only open by pulling out my gun and shooting a switch, that I can only do in mid air, and the ledge is to far.. I've tried it like 30 times now..usually I can do it in 2-3 tries. Drivin fucking nuts, do. 2016 wasn't like this. But since people got super fucking good, they've decide to make the game super mother fucking challenging ..and I'm playin on the easiest mode, just for starting, then after i beat the game i usually try the next hardest mode...but i cant pass these parts sometimes man.
I was watching someone on youtube try it, and they found an easier way to get around, earlier in the level...bastards.
Watching them stress over maurder was funny tho
I just had to deal with this bullshit section too. How the hell did they approve this section. I don't even mind the platforming in the game but this was insane and required PERFECT execution of double jump and dash dash with exact timing that most people should not be expected to achieve. I'm even pretty damn good at the rest of the game but my god. This thread saved me... just used the airbooster and started steering with the mouse exclusively towards the laser blocked door. Shoot the button with the plasma rifle... might need to dash at the end.
LOL FUCK THIS JUMP, TAKE THE JUMP RING STRAIGHT TO THAT LAST GATE, SKIP THE WALL GRABS
Holy fuck, you can just boost straight to the door...who fucking designed this platforming section!!
