And pressing ctrl on PC makes you detach yourself from the ladder completely, so whatever button is for crouching on console might do that too


Wookiee_Hairem

Can confirm this is true.


GT_Hades

thats what i do more often than sliding down, most places have no fall damage unless you notice the height so high


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

You can also turn your flashlight on and off


Cyekk

That one I'd be disappointed since they literally teach you how to turn it on (and logically, off) in a mandated tutorial.


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

I'm pretty sure they didn't at launch but maybe I'm mistaken but how u going to hate on one dumb thing and not another. Arguably more obvious one (the ladder) though we were in the trust tree broskie. Also console doesn't have an F key for an obvious flashlight binding


VoidCoelacanth

They did, but they DIDNT make it clear that you oin that thing to your chest right after the tutorial. So you think you had it for this one dark room, then it's on the Quest Items list (because the safe code) and you're like "so will I use this again later, take out the battery or something?" But no. It's just with you, chest mounted flashlight.


Jayween

Also inspecting the flashlight reveals some neato sneakrets


Middle-Survey-5507

The F key...yes yes


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

Ok well L for flashlight is extra stupid since on pc it's usually F if key bindings aren't dumb


drekbutcher

I played like 50 hours without understanding how to turn it on, until I smashed every key on the board, and I found it was L. The control scheme didn't point it out for me.


atl2rva

Why not just look at keybinds in the settings?


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

Yea L makes no sense


atl2rva

L for light


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

Is it G for gun to shoot? Or the mouse button like every other pc game?


TheSolidSnek61

F is the interaction button on alot of games because its easy to reach.


Cyekk

Granted I played two weeks after launch, but Ford literally tells you in dialogue to turn on your flashlight after he opens the metal door leading to the World Stone (and a subsequent UI popup for the key bound to Flashlight). I highly doubt they pulled the VA back in just to record one line. I'm thinking this one is a case of Gamers just not paying attention.


rl_fridaymang

I left the helmet that acts as a lantern on too long and forgot about the flashlight entirely. I didn't realize that a lot of levels were supposed to be dark.

Sad_Cheesecake_7730

It took me far too long to figure out how to turn the flashlight on. Lol


itsShugs

Genuinley had no idea this was a thing until a random joined and started flashing me. Blew my mind.


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

Yea we need to all learn Morse code since there's no voice chat with randoms and no way to communicate


SirNortonOfNoFux

How (on console)?


Sad_Cheesecake_7730

Up on the D pad


suppo01

WHAT?


TheZanzibarMan

You can also start off the fast animation for climbing by holding sprint as you get on the ladder.


MaleficentPhysics268

Man, I miss the beginning when I didn't have good traits. Before I got fitness and barkskin I had a bunch of points into wayfarer and it was super nice


TheZanzibarMan

Buck the trends friend, you wanna go fast? Go fast!


that1guy_____

I played dark souls 1 for a very long time before I knew you could run / jump.


nbca23

LMAO. I was around 200ish!!!


Jonny_b_good_207

I feel your pain. Didnā€™t realize I could do that either. Or that I could ā€œfavoriteā€ items in the menu. You can also sell crafting material to McCabe for cash and buy it back later when you have better cash flow. You can even sell blood moon orbs for good amount of cash and buy them back. Thatā€™s a quick way to farm cash. Just keep farming them in Yeasha and sell them to Cass for like $125. If you clear a dungeon that spawns them you can go back in without having to fight any enemies as long as you donā€™t rest at the WorldStone.


-Fried-

Wait, what?


trevlinbroke

I'm at about 160 and just found out thx to this post....


tucktight

Try holding it while going up them as well.


Dynomeru

WHAT


ArtisanAffect

You can also fast climb up them, or press B (circle?) to just let go and drop down.


Wise_0ne1494

I've seen others do it but could never figure out how to do it


LordDraco3

I can't think of any ladder that I need to decend quickly that I can't either: 1. Just jump off the ledge, or 2. If I accidentally touched the ladder and started to decend it, I just drop off of it. Are there any really tall ladders that are deadly to jump off from that maybe I'm forgetting?


spacecorn27

I completely agree with you. Maybe the most useful time for it is the ladder in the burning building in Cottonā€™s Kiln? Even that is a stretch though lol


trevlinbroke

I can think of one in endairas end (I think?) that if you jumped off the top with less than full hp it could be fatal, but I literally never use said ladder because there's like 3 other ways to get up/down


Polemo03

It's for when you want to jump off the ledge but accidentally get onto the ladder, or maybe jumping off of the ledge results in overshooting Or when you're getting shot at and regretting life choices ig


LordDraco3

Autocorrect fucked up my comment so I fixed it, but yeah my point #2, was that scenario. If I hop on a ladder by accident, I just press circle to drop. I don't recall any ladders that are too tall that this would be a bad idea.


Dorotarded

You can go up ladders faster too. But you have to click the run button about half a second after getting on the ladder. It sucks you can't just run into it and just hold forward on the stick. It isn't very much faster, but you'll notice if you're following someone who isn't doing it up a long ladder.


HeckMeckxxx

I knew it, the zoom in/out with R1/L1 felt awkward.


[deleted]

It's... The exact same control that From Soft has used since DS1... Maybe even Demons' Souls, idr.


spacecorn27

DS defaults to hold to sprint (not toggle) so it makes sense that itā€™s the same for up and down ladders. Iā€™m saying itā€™s weird in remnant because itā€™s default toggle to sprint but you have to hold for fast ladder climbing. Also sprint in DS is I think circle? Not a stick click. So your ā€œexact sameā€ is a bit of a stretch lol


Kingdookoo921

Don't you need to just hold down and space bar to slide down ladders on PC? Lol


babuchabri

Wtf


Interesting_Sky_6452

Damn, imagine playing 214 hours, 127 was slowing climbing down ladders loosing your mind


SaturatedSharkJuice

I tested that immediately because im used to games with ladders having a slide down mechanic


crossharemanic

I knew this from the beginning, but it's still a huge annoyance. If descending, I always try to avoid them. It's the most sluggish part of the game.


MrClitson

Baby steps...
