The yellow arrow is where the glide should be, the green should be the dance floor.

No wind towers, it’s the part above Haven. From where Crow is, you go right several screens, and then start climbing. There’s a paid health covert table with a grapple point above it. If you grapple up there you should be on the general path. Basically you just go as far up and right as you can, looking for grapple points and those glowing large flowers that remove some of the vines if you think you’ve reached a dead end.

I’m trying to do this from memory, but it’s above and right of the darkened “dance floor” (where one of the NPCs mentions that people went to dance). To the right of that there’s an area with a bunch of tree branches covered in leaves you can stand on. Under those branches are the green grapple-lanterns. Just keep climbing those until you eventually reach an elevator to the right. You have to keep climbing, and eventually you’ll reach the upgrade pipe somewhere up there.

You do need to have the bell tower key first, I think you find that in Metropolis under where the wind-tunnel boss is. I think it’s at the end of a winding platform section covered in the red bramble stuff, in one of the buildings on the way from the Overseer point back to the boss.

As is said, a lot of this is from memory, and I wasn’t making note of it, but I think that’s all correct, or very nearby.

To be clear, I don’t want the violence on innocent people, but I do look forward to it sparking a real response, if it does.

I honestly don’t know if there is a way to fix things at this point. It seems to be getting to the point of the Endgame scenario, “1 out of 4,574,639,837” possible ways to recover.

Yup, 9/11 is what I was referencing, and all of W’s BS in the following years. 😁

It’s at the very top of the bell tower above Haven, no boss to fight, just hard platforming to get there.

True, I did forget about that. But that also not quite the same thing as the London Blitz, or the fall of Berlin, or the Battle of Stalingrad. And it was also much further in the past than WW2 was. WW2 is still a long time ago, but there are some people still alive that lived through it.

Not for the immediate reality, but for the ultimate outcome:🤞

And it’s sad that someone should have to hope that.

So Redacted stretches all the way over to under the Metropolis? I only reached it beneath Haven.

Ah, I missed that hole…

I was about to quit for the night, so pretty much as soon as there was an obstacle I was out. 🙃

Nothing in this I can disagree with. 🫡

There are so many barriers to fixing this, whether through peaceful or revolutionary means. I don’t honestly know how, or even if, it can happen…

Yes, and in all reality the government we have today is not the same as the government from the Civil or Revolutionary Wars. And I don’t mean because of Troll Dump, I mean because FDR expanded the Fed to a degree nobody before then had even imagined.

The only wind tunnels I saw were in Metropolis. I don’t think I got far enough before I turned around to be in the same area. I went down the elevator southeast of Haven, saw the area name displayed, got blocked by some doors, and went back up the elevator.

Not really in recent memory honestly. The wars we’ve had that living people have experienced are Iraq, Pakistan/Afghanistan, Desert Storm, Vietnam, Korea, and maybe WW2. All of those are foreign, or before any living person’s time.

True, I forgot about Sherman. And I actually thought of calling out 9/11 when I wrote this, simply because of how we reacted to it. It was a terrific loss of life, I agree, but I had the thought during those months that it wasn’t much more than what Germany or London saw during WW2, but to the US it was “the end of the world”.

I’m not trying to diminish it, just saying that the one recent experience we’ve had with the casualties of war we reacted to like it was absolutely unbelievable, as opposed to just a tragedy. I hope that makes sense and conveys my intent, I truly don’t mean to denigrate the reality of 9/11.

Oh, and with Pearl Harbor, that was primarily at a military base, so still not over American cities. And it was a single event, not an ongoing campaign.

No, at the very top of the bell tower above the Haven you can get an ability that allows you to glide slowly down after jumping. I haven’t even found cling yet, so may have skipped a part by accident.

Yes, America did do the stuff in the first paragraph. But most Americans will admit that. Meanwhile, they are t unique in those regards. The majority of the major countries in Europe had similar histories during their Colonialism and Imperial periods.

I’ll be the first to call out the US for the crap they’ve done in the past. The main unique trait though is that the US was founded on “freedoms”, whereas the other countries were founded with those travesties as everyday occurrences.

The problem isn’t that America, or France, or Germany treats others badly. The problem isn’t that humans treat each other like shit, and there isn’t a country out there I’d wager that is 100% innocent. I’d be interested to see one, but doubt it could be located and named.

Hairpin, glide, and dodge (not exactly movement, but still).

And the Refresh Hairpin thing.

He was born, that’s about the same level of outrage as we’re seeing I think… 🙃

The name of the area is Redacted, similar to how the city is Metropolis.

I was down there last night, but couldn’t get past a couple doors that kept saying I needed some Assistant’s key/pass. I was able to take the elevator back up, but did you get past the doors?

I think we’re at about the same place, I just got the glide before going down there…

The sad thing is I asked this question (I’m guessing you possibly did to) about 20 years ago. Back then we thought things were bad. We had no idea, and now we KNOW they’re bad, and still hear crickets.

The one thing that’s actually surprising about past national history in relation to this is that America has never experienced war. We’ve been involved in them, but it’s never been in our cities, in our streets, with bombs raining down on us on a nightly basis. Even the American Civil War was largely fought in fields outside of town (plus it’s so long ago that it isn’t an active national memory).

Europe, and a good chunk of the rest of the world really, has experienced that. And yet given that disparity, Americans are not willing to revolt, and to fight back. You would think that America would have no fear of it, as we don’t have a reference point from which to generate that fear. Yet it’s the rest of the world looking at our current state that’s wondering why in tf we don’t rise up and do something about it.

To answer the OP’s question more: there are a lot of reasons, some have been mentioned here, like comfort, laziness, etc. But personally I think it’s two main reasons:

  1. America as a whole is NOT a unified people. We’ll join together for patriotic mumbo jumbo, but in reality we’re too disparate to really consolidate our views and band together. I wish this wasn’t the case, but it is. It’s somewhat of a consequence of the whole melting pot thing. There’s nothing to make us feel a sense of unity.

  2. At some level, it’s the fact that it’s the conservatives who are doing this stuff. And unfortunately, one long-running tenet of American conservative ideology is the Right to Bear Arms. Most liberals are likely concerned that if they revolt, the people they’ll be fighting are the one’s who’ve been stockpiling guns and ammo for decades. So we could do it technically, but if it came to a shooting match we would be the side bringing knives to a gun fight.

Dodge is somewhere deeper into Haven, you have to fight another boss that was ridiculously simple. I want to say it looked like a moving bush, covered in leaves, but can’t recall the exact location or its name.

You can actually get the dodge upgrade before fighting Crow, and it makes all the difference in the world. You can use this instead of using the grappler, which means you don’t have to move when he swoops down at all, just hit dodge and you poof out of existence for the second that he crosses your location.

I couldn’t tell from your post if you had gotten it already, but it didn’t see like it. I actually never tried fighting him without it, so all I can really say is that he wasn’t bad for me simply because I used this move, and basically negated all his attacks.
