Walk up to the edge of the trap door and save your game. Now tap your forward key and see just how far out you can stand in mid-air. If you fall restart and creep back out as far as you can. Hit forward and jump at the same time and you should grab the other side and pull up. D

Second time I'm doing the game. Both times I was athletic=8 when I arrived there.
I do the jump by first moving the 'camera'(field of view) more atop of the player.
That way I have a better view of where my feets are. Run toward the trap door and jump at the very very edge. Your character will grap the other side with his hands and lift himself up.

P.S. Hope you understand my english

I had a lot of trouble at first, too. I increased athletics to 6 and used a time crystal as suggested in the walkthrough and made it then.

Athletics doesn't currently have any effect on how far you can jump in the game. D

You're right Ferncliff!

Made some athletic tests...
Doesn't change the lenght nor the height of a jump!

run from the end of the hallway.count two seconds from the edge of trap door.you will get acros,but you mast finde good corner to grabon.

OK I'd like to retract my earlier advice. I went and tested some methods and found it wasn't as easy as I remember. I'd like to submit a new method for making the jump. First kill everything that might get in your way. Walk up to the trap door and look down at the floor there. The trap door looks like a red rug, just before the trap door is a gold stripe and then a black (with gold flake) stripe. Walk up and center your feet in the black stripe. Start a 'time warp' crystal. Watching your feet take one step forward then press jump in the middle of your next step (before your foot lands on the second step) and you'll make it. Give it a try it works like a charm for me. D
PS Allain athletics also doesn't increase the amount of time you can spend underwater. The skill seems busted except for the special moves.
