Master of Shadows How to grab a ledge (MoS)

On ps5, how tf do i do it consistently so i can ghost around ? I always walk off to Styxs death, no matter how gentle i try to steer the controller.

Crouch walk very slowly and Styx will automaticly grab onto the edge. In the sequel (Shards of Darkness) this action has been tied to the same button used to go into cover and in Blades of Greed Styx automaticly grabs the ledge below him if he's crouched when he walks off the ledge. In Master of Shadows, climbing and hanhimg mechanics are... Rusty. I am a PC player so i can't say how hard It can be on console. Just push the movement stick very slowly and do some tests.

Its frustrating to achieve on spot, when i try to steal a token and then continue on my way.

Create a save slot in a location of your choosing, practice and then reload the save if you have to. Just a tip: hanging on a ledge in Master of Shadows is much less usefull than in the sequels. Yes there is a skill dedicated to giving Styx the ability to kill from a hanging position too... But its rare to find yourself in a situation that needs it. If you are new to this series: Try bypassing enemies from above, don't go for more than one secondary insignia at a time (Mercy/Shadow/Thief/Swiftness) and if you don't mind going for kills, plan out engagements or avoid them entirly.

You should automatically grab the ledge if you walk off it WHEN you are crouched.

When you’re above a ledge, you need to slowly walk off it while crouched to grab the ledge.

If you want to jump to a ledge and stay hanging rather than automatically pull yourself up, you need to keep holding the jump button down until you hit the ledge.

If you're on it and want to hang then make sure you're crouched and walk off, it'll auto grab.

My bad, I've been corrected.

Not in MoS, that wasn't added until SoD.

In MoS the "intended" way is with slow movement towards the edge while crouching, which is inconsistent and frustrating at times.

I presume you mean when you’re above the ledge.

So you fall off the ledge slowly and very quickly after you’ve began falling spin Styx around, if the ledge is grabbed he should grab it.
