So for that Assassin Creed jump...do you have to jump from where the guy is onto the wooden lamppost? Some of these are confusing w/out explanations. Or I'm just dumb (probably).
Jumping for the lamp post from where he is will cause you to just hop back and forth between the two ledges. The character will ignore the lamp post and not reach for it.
You can try to stand undearneath the lamp post and jump up and grab it but its too high
you can try to stand on the ledge in front of the lamp post and jump up and grab it but I don't think that works and I forget why
you can try to run up the wall the lamp post is on from undeaneath it (which works basically everywhere else in the game ever?) but he won't grab it.
you can try to run up the wall next to the lamp post is on from undeaneath it, and you will brush against the lamp post but he won't grab for it.
The eventual solution is trivially easy to do once you know *what* to do, no one just thinks to ever do it. And it requires a technique never required before and potentially ever explained. I believe you have to stand on the ledge, run up the wall, kick off the wall and jump to the lamp post?
It's been a while so my memory might be a little off. But its not a jump that requires skill. Its a jump like the ninja turtles jump where people try for hours to do the obvious and the obvious doesn't work in this one situation.
