King of the Hill is a challenge in Outlands Canyon to climb to the top of "the eye"; a large tower in the research facility compound that resembles the Helios moonbase.
Strategy[]
There are numerous platforms along the western wall of the tower that can be climbed on using careful maneuvering and well-timed boosts. A majority of the platforms are colored red-orange. A minimum of 50 oxygen is required for first jumps until the air vent is reached.
- Jump on to the circular vent on the small building at the base of the tower
- Spint-jump across to the lowest platform, use an air-boost in the middle of the jump to maintain momentum
- Stand on the outside edge of the platform jump and air-boost to reach the second platform directly above
- The third platform is around the left corner, stand on the left edge of the second platform jump and air-boost while maneuvering around the corner to the third platform
- The fourth platform is the air vent connected to the third platform, a simple jump and air-boost will suffice.
- Stand on the outward-facing edge of the air-vent, jump, and air-boost to reach the fifth platform
- Stand on either the left or right edge of the fifth platform and jump, then hold the movement key in the same direction as the edge the character is standing on, immediately release the key once they drift over the sixth platform. An air-boost is not required as the jump will give them just enough height to reach the sixth platform.
- The final three jumps are simply regular jumps while holding forward
- The challenge will be completed when the platform with a red chest is reached.
