Here are direct links to the videos. I've got an awful headache and lots
of work, so I haven't gotten around to updating my website (I have a TON
of new videos that haven't been converted & posted. ) ...
Bottom of Sacred Icon (as described in the HBO post above):

Ways to survive long drops:
1) enemy riding (as shown here)
2) riding corners (

3) lunge (

Someone mentioned using explosives (rocket launcher or plasma cannon shot
against a wall) but I have yet to see a video, can anyone confirm that?
EDIT: The server might be slow at times, but it *should* hold up. If you
have trouble, try refreshing. I'll write a walkthrough for the Oracle
exploration... the 'Sacred Icon' exploration already has a nice
walkthrough posted at HBO (see links at top of page).
and Phantom, uh, I don't know the name for the little robots... the guy at
HBO calls them constructors, and that name sounds good to me.
EDIT2:
Sacred Icon Tip- Keeping the robot from flying out from under you requires
that you push him against the wall (it might be possible to go down
without touching the wall... but I wasn't able to.) So after you've gone
down a little bit, take a small step forward(away from the wall)- you will
move to the wall, and if the positioning is good, he will try to fly out
from under you but he won't be able to.
Oracle Walkthrough-
(easy difficulty is best)
1) Get to the first outdoor area. Kill your friends.
2) The path forks left and right around the central structure. I go right,
I don't know if the sentinels spawn on the left path. Kill all the
heretics you encounter.
3) You will probably get a checkpoint before reaching the sentinel area.
You want a checkpoint close to the sentinels because this will probably
take many attempts.
4) As you near the end of the outdoor area, three sentinels should spawn
to your right. Kill any remaining heretics, don't go inside, don't kill
the sentinels.
5) Backtrack, luring the sentinels back with you. They won't follow you
down the ramp. Go down the ramp until they won't fire at you. They should
be waiting at the top of the ramp, and slightly off of the ledge/walkway.
6) Turn on your active cammo and run up the slope. The sentinels should
remain in their positions, off the edge of the walkway but close enough
for you to jump on top.
7) Jump on a sentinel and ride it to the bottom.
It is hard to give advice on *how* to ride it... I try to center myself on
top and a little to the back. I then try to ride so that I am always
sliding slowly to it's front, and I constantly step towards it's rear to
counteract the sliding. It will spin sometimes, and I try to turn to
re-orient myself in a front-back alignment. Good luck!
