There are two lava pits that you can get out of by
doing a lava jump. For the technical info on the hows of lava jumping, check out
the DM4 lava jump. The first picture shows one place where you can lava jump. Its the small lava pit near the NG, surrounded by the stairs that go down to the YA in front of the tele that tele's you to the room that is opposite the GL/MH. This lava jump ain't really that useful, 'cos you probably don't fall into this lava pit very often but its still a good idea to know. If you do fall in, try and get as close as possible to the YA side of the pit at the bottom of the stairs. Then just turn your back to the ledge and lava jump through the gap between the pillar and the wall. The next picture is of the lava jump done at the lava pit next to the RA/MH. Easy peasy. If you are trying to make the jump to the RA/MH, and you just miss the ledge, just quickly spin around and lava jump onto the RA/MH ledge. Easy. If you fall in this pit without an RL or you are really far away from the RA/MH ledge, all is not lost, because you can still swim to the lava ledge. |

Found yourself in the RA/MH lava pit without an RL to lava jump with?
Got a fair bit of health and armour? Don't give up! Swim like a lemming!(?) Take a look at the first picture there, notice the little ledge that I'm pointing at with the crosshair? That's where you gotta swim to. Just swim on over, and when you reach the ledge, point up a little and Quake will pop you right up there. The second picture shows the view once you get there. Now what the hell do you do once your there. Jump off that ledge and onto the one right infront of you. This is not an easy thing with a bad ping, as I found out at the Quake comp. Since you are standing on such a little ledge, you have hardly any room for a run-up. The timing has to be spot on, jump too early and you won't reach the higher ledge, too late and you'll plain fall in the lava. Note that while you're standing there, you can get shot at from behind if you wait around too long. However you can also turn around and shoot through the gap in the wall, obviously. |

You know the lava pit with those two platforms that continually move back and forth? If you
fall into this lava pit you can very easily get out, as long as you have a decent amount of health and armour. You may have noticed that if you fall in this pit near the edge, and try to jump out by facing the outside edge and swimming up, Quake won't push you out because that edge is just a little bit too high. But what you may not have noticed is how useful the little groove that the platforms travel along is. Take a look at the first picture if you aren't sure what I'm talking about. Instead of swimming to the outside edge thingy, swim to the wall (second picture). Since the little indent made by the groove is lower than the other ledge, Quake will go "Hey, he obviously wants to get onto that indent, so I'll give him abit of upward velocity to help him out of the lava onto that indent". Then, like in the third picture, you'll go shooting out of the lava pit, whereupon you can maneuvre yourself back onto dry land. Oh yeah, if you're unlucky enough to get caught in the lava while the platform is above you, all you can really do is wait, and keep your head out of the lava. |

Many people just let thier player sit while he burns in the lava.
Just because someone was dumb enough to get in that death box and press the button, does
not mean you have to die. When you fall in, hold jump as you fall. This will keep you near the
surface. Then find the exit nearest the quad. Swim to it. It may look like the game won't let
you out of the lava, but it will. When you get out hit the button on the wall and squish them
for their stupidity. Note: You will not live if you only have 100 health and you aren't likely
to survive if you are being shot at or have been shot badly. - CEnder |
