newbies help with a summer's day

Hello all!  Just started playing this game and am loving it,but am stuck at A Summer's Day.  Do I need to upgrade my jumps more before attempting it?  It seems like your abilities dont' matter though in the reminisce(i have triple jump and it does nothing, and i can't eat spinach).  Is it just incredibly precise timing for the last platform?  I've gotten to the very end, right before I know i'm supposed to get a ladder out of the place, but I can't make that far of a jump.  any tips?

  • Take a running start and jump at the very last second. Levitation (one of the meditation techniques) is useful, but far from necessary.

  • Are you making sure you hit all the circles in midair that activate the platforms?

  • Just use spinach if you need an extra boost, why can't you eat spinach by the way? I could have sworn I did the first time I did the quest. Well maybe more activate it than eat it.

  • You used to be able to. I just re-did it to see before I posted, and you can't now.

  • Try running off the edge of the platform and then jumping in mid-air.  It's a really tough jump without most of the jump upgrades!

  • spinach and levitation are shut off in that area now. Make sure you have all the jump upgrade cards too (much easier with them)

  • Are you standing on a button to make an extra platform pop up from which to make the last jump?

  • Oh my, I'd have never gotten through that one without spinach...guess I won't be reminiscing that one anymore...however, glad to see that some are hard quests...I really dislike when everything is too easy.

  • this is impossible... no spinach, no exit, and no upgrades. a newbie can't make it across that last jump, even with a midair jump! i'm stranded in this map and i'm running out of food :(

  • There are "High Jumper" upgrade cards which will help.

    ETA: staff might want to stop offering this quest to people who don't have the upgrade cards yet.

  • Green - you should be offered the chance to leave after you've been standing still for a little while.  You can also try going home through your iMG menu, or typing /home in local chat.
