Majin is a neat adventure game for the ps3 and xbox360 which is heavily puzzle based. You go on an adventure as a nameless thief and a big monster companion called a Majin. The game is pretty fun overall for normal game play, but what most interested me was the game's OoB mechanics.
Basically whenever you are OoB you are always on solid ground and if you jump, ground is placed underneath you. If you go in bounds you just fall in, and for some reason in some parts in OoB there are holes. Abusing this you can alter your height and slowly load maps and go anywhere you want in the world.

Route
Natural route through the castle, but when you get out and to the catapult section there is a small skip you can do that saves like 10 seconds.

After the catapult section you clip OoB and go to the scarecrow doll.

You can then hit the switch by going OoB in the same spot.

The rest of the dungeon is natural route.
In area 2 you do natural route until the catapult and then go OoB to hit the 2nd scarecrow doll. This skips half of the catapult puzzle and then the whole water puzzle. Rest of the area/dungeon is natural route.

After you get to area 3, you clip oob and get the first scarecrow doll.

Then, the 2nd scarecrow I found a skip to get to it early.

The third scarecrow you need to get normally. You progress through the warship as usual and then continue to the 4th area.
Here you get the 2nd scarecrow doll first(the one you use a bomb to get to), and then go to the room across(it has the catapult in it) and get the 3rd scarecrow doll. Now you use the catapult to clip OoB and get the 1st scarecrow doll skipping the small puzzle.

Now you go back to the catapult and clip into OoB again and then walk all the way to the 4th scarecrow doll and get it.

Now the dungeon is open. Go inside and have you majin eat the orb and gain the ice ability.
Now that we finally have the Ice Ability we can complete the game. Backtrack to the desert area and clip OoB. Once OoB you run along the maps until you get to the Final Dungeon and then you walk to the 2nd last room.


From here you complete the room and move on to the boss room. Beat the boss and it's gg.

The biggest issue with OoB in this game is that if you leave your majin behind you can not use or acquire new abilities and you can not open doors. If we ever find a way to warp your Majin to you, it would change the route quite a bit. Overall I think the run will be somewhere in the 3-4 hour range since you cannot skip cutscenes. I think it will be really enjoyable to watch with all the OoB, and since you do have to watch the majority of the games cutscenes, should be enjoyable even for those who do not know the game.

Extra stuff I found that may be useful:
5 Methods Of Clipping In Area 4. The rolling methods are easiest and fastest to use.

Another method of clipping in area 4. Not very easy.


Clipping via damage boost


You can clip into boxes if you jump and time in the direction of the box correctly.

This is the original method for getting the 1st scarecrow doll

Two More Clips in Area 3 (Desert Area)
Thread title:  
This is great. I love OoB stuff.

I recently started going through my old games trying to glitch into walls. Not having much luck but did find something in Haunting Ground.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but what exactly is 'clipping'? I assume it's getting stuck between objects? So far I just try to run and jump or attack walls and corners.

Anyway I would gladly watch a run of this game and the OoB stuff is awesome. Something about running around outside of the game's boundary creeps me out Grin


Clipping is basically going through objects(usually into OoB) via abusing collision of objects. Whether that may be rolling in between a rock and the wall or using an orb to increase my width so I can clip through a wall, they would both be considered clipping. I did a run but it had a lot of mistakes and I don't really have 4 hours to just spend on playing non-stop so I'm not sure if I will do any more runs any time soon.
That's ok. By showing us what's possible you've already done a huge service to players interested in running this. As soon as I get a new console I'll be buying this game. I'm really looking forward to trying out this stuff. Thanks a lot for posting them.

Glad to hear someone is interested in this game Smiley I have just found another 5 ways to clip OoB in area 4 and have added it to the main post. It's quite funny since all 5 of these are in the same room lol. The rolling methods are the fastest and easiest and should be used to get OoB in a run.

Edit: I actually had some time to do another run and got a 3:52:22. The new clips and stuff helped but I still made a lot of mistakes. I clipped in bounds after getting the final ability on my way to the final dungeon which wasted like 10 minutes or something :/. I also tried a new clip I found for the first scarecrow doll, but I think it puts you too high and you can't load the area. I'm not 100% sure if it's worth clipping OoB for that first doll anyways. Still 10:54 better than my last run
The OoB you did with the health fruit at the beginning can be done without it. It's a little hard to replicate it though.

I actually found an easier OoB in the same area that is faster too:


I'm not 100% sure if it's actually useful though because when I tried using this one, I couldn't get the next area to load since you start out higher, but I didn't test extensively.
If you find a good place to drop down I think this would be fixed won't it? I believe its a distance calculation involved in loading other area's.

rocmox: 2013-01-19 01:35:28 pm
Yeah if you look for somewhere to drop down it should be fine. If one is close then this method will be preferred. If not then berryless will be the best way.
I can't find any noticeable point to drop down from. I think you can usually do it close to one of the guardian statues but I've had no luck so far.
Hmm that sucks, sometime this weekend I'll probably look into finding another OoB in that area that is the correct height, if not then oh well, it'll just make the run annoying at the start there. I think if you set it up properly though it shouldn't be too hard.

Your original OoB without the fruit can be quite annoying. I've done a few attempts and it can take a while to get it correct. While in the wall if you don't move correctly you'll just be bounced out too. I'm not sure if the good ending requires all health berries though.
The new OoB you suggested is viable, I have just tested a good way to get it working. Though it is a bit convoluted.
Ah that's good, how do you get it to load the next area?

Same way you did with the first OoB. I had to bring the character down to the same height so I found a place to bring him down, its the bringing him down which is a bit convoluted. Tongue I'll append a youtube video once its finished uploading. I'm wondering if the loading bounding box takes into consideration the Z axis. If so we might not need to lower him.

It took 1:10 to get to where you fall down, definitely not worth it, I can do it with the berry faster. I would recommend berry clip for now. Also I just realized it might be possible to skip jumping so high if you are as low as in the video. If you are right under the scarecrow doll, under that platform it is on, you might be able to jump up onto the platform itself from OoB.

I attempted the jump right under the platform when I did this the first time. I don't believe you can as under the platform it allows you to drop down. I'll give it another attempt today but I don't think its possible. There is an OoB closer to the scarecrow that some person put up on Youtube. Unfortunately they didn't provide a demo for how they achieved it they just demonstrated what the glitch allowed you to do.
Yeah I've asked the guy on how he did it and he didn't really know how it started. It doesn't seem like he went OoB but somehow got the save spot and the area around it to unload which caused the OoB effect? At least that is what it seems like.
Tested out jumping under the platform and no such luck, he stays at ground level.
Okay I found a new OoB right beside the first door that is locked by the scarecrow doll. This also uses a new method of clipping which is cool Smiley You use your stab attack. Editing/Uploading it now.
I was thinking the stab attack could possibly help in getting OoB but I wasn't sure. Tongue
Here is the clip:


I also realized that you can use this to get the switch much faster since it is right beside it, so this clip has 2 uses Smiley

There slight problem with that glitch. Once you reach the area where the platform is you can't see it if you step back a bit to gain some height so you can jump over to it. It means you're probably going to have to put your faith in hitting the platform when you jump for it. I fixed it, you need to cut across to the otherside to fix it. Also, its easier to jump in from the side.

Edit: My mistake, if you run straight under the stairs where the dark soldiers are you can load the area with the scarecrow from the point you jumped at before. But jumping from the side is a lot easier. Tongue
Yeah I just realized you can jump into the corridor on the side in bounds and then just use the platforms to get to it.
