A lot of people have problems with the jumps in the game and in particular with this level.
So i found something i wanted to share, that helped me alot with this level.
The platforms the keys are on, all have the same layout.
I made a sketch that shows it: http://imgur.com/a/nGcL3
What helped me was:
1. I always jumped from the "O"positions, never from the "X" ones.
2. Picked up the key,
3, Looked down and ran straight to the next circled area ahead
4. Jumped at the point of the "triangle".
As soon as i started doing it this way, i never failed a jump.
Hope that helps a few people out there !

Just commenting that the 2017 patch seems to have changed the shape of the platforms from the hexagonal shape described above to a simple, flat grey island.
The jumps are much easier to make and getting on and off the islands can be accomplished by simple running jumps.

I just got this after a lot of trial and error trying to figure out exactly how the game wanted me to jump to avoid the lava. I tried inching down to the edge and jumping, getting a good running start and jumping, boosting my dexterity to the max and jumping, looking up and down and jumping, but nothing seemed 100% successful.
What you need to try is to forget everything you know about 1st person platformers, and JUMP before you move. The platforms on Level 4 have "steps" down to the lava, and the game gets confused when you're trying to jump and also falling down a step at the same time. So, against all laws of physics, get near the edge, JUMP, then press forward immediately. It's all about timing and not trying to run and jump, but jump and run. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean. Before attempting, you might want to practice a bit, jumping then pressing forward to acclimatize yourself to this completely counter-intuitive method of jumping. :P Once I figured it out, I never missed a jump for the rest of the game.
Good luck.
Another tip - while going through level 4, you might want to focus on getting all the keys before bothering with monsters and chests - if you spend 10 minutes going around looting and getting monsters, then fail your first jump, you'll huck the controller at the wall. Or go hoarse cursing.

The "stationary jump then pressing forward" strategy is still helpful on the sloped diamond shaped platforms with stairs on future levels.
