Help! I have committed my life to getting past the Storm Valley springs. Alas, I cannot do it (sob). Burnum, in a post below, says it's easy, but just casually says to "get past the ziridium brine." OK. I've managed to get TO the ziridium brine, and even got into it once, but I can't get past it.
Burnum! Anyone! Help!
(Many thanks to all the clearly marvelous people who are addicted to this most marvelous of all games.)

I feel your pain. I never did get past the ziridium (not for lack of trying), and would love to know what kind of voodoo it takes. By using the last spring to help catapult me high into the air I can get close but never enough.

Thanks for your sympathy! Actually, I'm making real progress, and I think I'll get this done soon! I'm really learning how to use the springs. Once I finally get to the rez necklace, I'll tell you all how I did it. (I allllllmost made it three times tonight!)
Burnum's suggestion of running at the springs helps a lot--but his (her?) solution isn't completely working for me. I'm learning never to jump! Run into the springs, or walk into them, and you do get a little bit of control.
I did it. In order to get past the springs, you must remember two things:
1. Never press the "jump" button. 2. Patience is a virtue.
Now, from the beginning:
1. Get to the first ledge. Run off the ledge, starting from about the middle of the ledge. You will land between the springs one and two.
2. Now, you can either let the wind push you left, then run into the next spring. If you choose that, you will be propelled high into the air but FORWARD. You will land just before the last spring before the ziridium brine. OR, you can just walk into the spring. That will propell you high, but forward, and you'll land between the next set of springs. Then just walk into the next one to get to the last spring before the brine.
3. This time, you have to run. Again, let the wind push you as far left as possible, then RUN into the last spring. Sometimes, not always, that will get you past the ziridium brine onto the next ledge. Don't worry about trying to get the xichrons above the brine--you'll get those accidentally.
4. Now, walk into the next spring. You'll land between the next two springs. Then keep walking into each spring until you get to the last spring.
5. Now you have to act fast, because there isn't much space here, and if the wind pushes you back you'll wind up back on the first ledge again. Once you land, establish control, then RUN into the last spring. It will propel you onto the ledge with the rez necklace.
I went back over the springs to get to the ground again. That last ledge is pretty close to spikes and monsters, and you don't want to waste all the effort.
This will take some practice--you'll have to learn how to get back in control when you land between each spring. But once you learn how to use the springs instead of fighting against them, you'll succeed.
One note: I'm playing with an iShock. It really does give you more control. I don't know if this can be done with the keyboard.
Hope this helps!

OK so that was embarrassingly easy. Here I am wasting my energy jumping, when all I had to do was "stroll" over and pick up the rez necklace. Did it immediately. Thanks Shady!

Glad my method worked for somebody else! Only took me two weeks to figure it out! (Although I must admit, that Burnum really figured it out first.)
