A guy named duuhrensohn came into my chat while I was practicing and explained me a faster strat to get the level 4 key in the ancient city:
Here's the full notes-

90% Consistent way of climbing that first wall, inspired by Slayer's previous post. Jump at the section where you see the wall stick out a little bit. If your jump goes below it, you'll get stuck. If you get above it, you'll warp upwards. No mid-air jumps required.
That's really interesting. I messed with it some. Dying at the same time as Mantis doesn't work, it puts you in the death state but you can't move any.
Dying on the frame you pick up the key may work, but I was never good at frame perfect stuff. Try firing the grenade launcher directly at the ground and walking into the key hoping that you die on the frame you pick it up?
I tried dying after picking up the key but Turok is invincible during those cutscenes. I'll mess with this more though see if I can find anything.
