Borderlands – How to get up to the Sheriff of Lynchwood

borderlands-2

I've just killed the Sheriff of Lynchwood, but she never came down from the top of the building. An answer to another question leads me to believe that she might have dropped something interesting, but I just haven't been able to figure out how to get up there.

Is it possible, or was I supposed to have gotten her to drop down before shooting her?

With a little help from what's basically the same question at gamefaqs, I was able to figure it out.

As their instructions are a little confusing ('across the street' and any of the cardinal directions mentioned are flat out wrong), the working instructions are:

  • From standing in front of the building, facing where the Sheriff had been.
  • Turn to your left, and go to the neighboring building.
  • Just past the building will be some crates; jump up those.
  • On top of this building is a sign with two diagonal braces; walk up one of the braces.
  • From the top of the sign, jump over to the next level of the building.
  • Walk out on the rod heading towards the Sheriff's building
  • Jump off the rod before it becomes a cable.

It's actually relatively easy, once you figure out that you can walk up the sign supports. (I had originally tried jumping onto the sign directly)
