Well... somebody got out of bounds in the Nuen/Zehn fight:

That's interesting. Could be set up in other areas around here but if it's dependent on Joseph firing at that exact moment it could be very difficult to do.

Some highlights from my stream yesterday. Some funny stuff, and some more useless glitches:

http://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/c/5534769

http://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/c/5534813

I also got 2 more glitches but I can't show because Twitch is fucking awful and messed up my broadcast. Sad

The recording is messed up and won't let me check anything after 2 hours into recording.

But I got 2 more glitches. In chapter 10 in room where you meet Jimenez and you go into hallway and run away from Amalgam. I pushed a cart in the room horizontal up to the doorway and then triggered the cutscene. Then when Amalgam tried to run after me he got stuck behind the door and couldn't follow me or chase me! It was hilarious, he was totally stuck and I could explore the hallway all I wanted. It was a great reaction to, sadly Twitch fucked up so can't show you it. Sad

Also I found a new glitch in chapter 10. The carousel room where you put the power back on to open the doors and the fan blade swings around the room. When you open doors to leave the room, I pulled the glitch I did with the elevator on chapter 4 and doors in chapter 5 OoB. I went back and forth and tried to get back through the door JUST before they closed and it worked! I got stuck in the chapter 10 fan blade room with doors closed. It went blue and unloaded all the enemies except the sniper rifle guy. I looked all around though and the room was still loaded for the most part and nowhere I could get out of bounds. Sad

So another useless glitch.

Found a new glitch! aaaand... big surprise, it's totally useless! Cheesy

At least for now anyways:

I'm trying to recreate it but can't get it. It's annoying because there's a checkpoint right after so everytime I fail, I have to go back to save before this and do Shigyo part over again. I just want to get it again and have the rubble and objects fall on TOP of me/Sebastian so I can see if I'm able to walk out of bounds or not and maybe skip this area with Kidman.

That's a nice try Magnum, did you achieve to finally skip it?

By the way, when you were streaming you told me your Seb isn't maxed out, you should do the crow minigame in chapter 3, it gives 100K green gel per run and takes around 10 minutes to do.

All you have to do, is kill the sadist and then, go up the ladder in the barn, then up the second ladder to reach the small room where there was a Maria statue. Look through the window (the upper one) and you'll see a crow. Shoot it.

After that, the mini game starts, you've got 2 minutes to kill 5 crows. Locations are the following :

- On the cart just facing the wooden gate at the beginning of the area.
- On the roof near the same wooden gate.
- On TOP of the watchtower (I named him Hendrix btw), you need to shoot him first, from the room in the barn using sniper rifle.
- Inside the watchtower, it is not possible to shoot it from outside the tower, just climb all the ladder-of-i-ll-be-dead-before-i-reach-the-top.
- On the right wooden pillar just next to the wooden gate at the END of the area.

Gives 50K in any mode, but since Casual is x2, gives 100K in Casual.

Hope this helps Wink

No SmashingQuasar my Sebastian is maxed out, you must have heard wrong. I know about the crow minigame yeah. I even have a save file with everything upgraded and maxed out and over 1,000,000 spare green gel haha. The new game + save file I have also has everything maxed out with full rockets and brass knuckles, so I'm good.

Also no I never got past the bus sadly, that's about as far as you can blow yourself back into the area as the cutscene loads so I can't really find a way to swim to bus any faster.

So I finished the run, and here it is:

http://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/c/5572724

Twitch glitched out at the end and has been fucking up my broadcasts lately and says it was a 6 hour stream when it was only 3 hours. It freezes just before credits screen and doesn't show final time. Fucking retarded. Not sure what's causing it, twitch has been doing it for awhile.

Anyways final time was 2:58:49, died and had bad luck. Also got a run ending out of bounds softlock glitch at the end of the run:

http://www.twitch.tv/exisidis2/c/5572669

Youtube video:

No idea what caused it, but game counted it as a cutscene since you're normally going up in an elevator so I couldn't start and load game, and even if I didn't it wouldn't be single segment. I ran around forever and just decided to kill myself and load game from last chapter 15 save which is like RIGHT at the start. Bullshit, so unlucky. Will run again tomorrow and without deaths and that bullshit probably easily get sub 2:50.

Screenshot I uploaded of the final time:

Got the glitch again:

Description: So apparently this glitch isn't too hard to replicate. Just stand in this corner of the elevator as it goes up. It didn't work at first so I just change my angle and walked further into corner and I clipped through the floor! Also this time the area below gets unloaded so you can see the entire level out of bounds and it's all blue, pretty cool. The cutscene loads since I reached a certain height and after screen goes black I still get transported back up into the elevator.

Found a new softlock glitch in chapter 15:

Video:

Description: Found another softlock glitch, this time in chapter 15. I found out after opening the doors to the asylum you actually have a few frames to aim a weapon and move back, you can blow yourself into the asylum backwards and crazy shit will happen with the camera. Also if you do what I do in the video, and shoot an explosive bolt to blow yourself backwards just as you step forward into the cutscene trigger, the doors will close with you outside. Sebastian will get up and try to walk forward into the dialogue trigger inside the asylum, but can't because the doors are closed. Resulting in another hilarious softlock. Enjoy! Smiley

Using this glitch you can get high enough to jump over the first trigger of the buildings shifting closer to each other and get some weird stuff to happen:

Wow, wtf?

Amazing find. I've quit glitch hunting in this game thinking we'd found all the big stuff then you produce this insanity.
This game is so much more glitchy than I thought it would be. Must be that Bethesda touch or something.

I'm not even really playing this anymore. I gave up on Akumu not so much because it's difficult, but because it's so random with glitchy hit boxes, bullets missing when they clearly connected. It's just not even fun or remotely enjoyable. Clearly had no testing at all. I probably won't play again until the DLC.

A lot of it is a learning curb. You have to learn of some faults and invent some workarounds to help get past them. Usually if you upgraded accuracy then a dead on shot should never miss. Also yeah I was pretty surprised when I found this. I too thought almost all that was to be found, had been found. So it was cool and nice to see something new and gamebreaking that I could find!

I'll never understand that dog boss. I've watched every Akumu vid showing players put it down like it was nothing and when I do the exact same the damn thing won't due. I swear there have been times I did way more damage and it just would not drop. Made utterly sick of the game.

Like, I shot every part of its body with the shotgun and the randomness, oh man, it's just absurd. I barely grazed its back leg and it fell, but wouldn't fall under the same conditions. Same with anywhere I shot it, just totally random.

I'm guessing no one did that in one try though. That mode was somewhat fun up until that dog, and when I'd got game over a thousand times because of Joseph's incredibly advanced AI.

The accuracy thing isn't a huge deal but was enough to irritate me more than once. When I play a game and make perfect shots I expect them to connect because I was dead on, not because I need to level up a stat.

Even in Vanquish where a lot of shot could one hit kill you, I never once encountered anything unfair. Seemingly overwhelming odds sure but nothing totally glitchy and broken like TEW.

Despite the negative points above, I did enjoy the game on my survival playthrough. In the end the I was totally disillusioned.
I find it bizarre listening to those Mikami interviews and I believe he's lost it lol.

I'm still looking forward to the DLC though. It will probably be more fun and I may end up running it due to it being shorter.

The dog boss Sentinel is actually very easy on Akumu, or close to. I'm not sure if he's different on PS3, but once you learn the strategy it's easy. That's what I do like about Akumu, it can be super hard and frustrating but once you learn a strategy for an area it makes it a ton easier and it's very rewarding. For the Sentinel dog boss you want to wait at the back of the area with your back to the gate exiting the area with your shotgun up. You wait until the dog comes out of the bushes and charges at you and as soon he gets really close, shotgun him and he'll fall to the ground almost every time. Then you put an explosive bolt into him or 2, and repeat again and he should be dead. It literally took me 2-3 tries using this method when I first got to him on Akumu. Smiley

It's not really broken I wouldn't say, but the game does put you in some unfair situations, but hey that's to be expected when you're putting yourself through Akumu. They're being pretty honest about it being cruel and unfair and hard as fuck beforehand. I admit a lot of times I did rage and was like, THAT'S BULLSHIT FUCK OFF. The one of only many rants and curses of mine ^__^ but when you get through it I love the rewarding feeling, you just can't give up and make sure you're not overlooking anything. Again maybe some things are different with PS3 so I can't speak on that.

I am also looking forward to DLC so badly, I can't wait! They are taking pretty long with it, hopefully soon though.

I am sure there is big lag in some moments during dog boss fight on ps3. I used that shotgun tech that drops him but wasn't working everytime due to some strange delay. So I used shotgun when he was running from close to me bushes and some ground shock bolts but when he was running from far away bushes I used rifle that drop him everytime. Ch 6 is the hardest chapter in the game on akumu so don't be greedy in using trap parts.

I found a very solid akumu speedrun on YT that some of you guys might not know about. It is made by taiwanese player - damono. This is 15 segment no upgrade , no keys run in 4:07 ! He doesn't use every fresh strats like running in water but his own tactics are very smart. I tried to convince him to run for SDA but he refused cause his english is not enough. Link:

I know each strategy and the shotgun method does not work. The randomness of the hit box is just absurd. There's something wrong when shooting it exactly where you're supposed to and it doesn't register or stop him, then another shot to his back leg dropped him once only. The strategy is easy but the glitchiness of it make it unreliable if not impossible. Could be a PS3 framerate issue which wouldn't be a surprise since two OOBs don't work for me.

The other strat I saw was easier and made him no problem BUT, my dog is taking more damage than the video.

I did shock-exp bolt x3. Then he trotted around ding nothing and I unloaded ALL my shotgun shellls into his face and mouth on his neck. That was over 7 shots. All direct hits. And he WOULD NOT DIE. I ran out of ammo and had done more damage than any video I've seen.

Look, here we have it going down in WAAAAAY less damage than I did, and he doesn't even shoot it in the face. WTF?

What the hell did I just see? One sniper shot and some normal crossbow bolts. I can't believe it.
My stuff was upgraded a few levels, so I can't believe one rifle shot and like 4 bolts did more damage than all my shotgun shells and 3 explosive bolts.

Believe it of not, I didn't find the burning house fights that bad at all. This dog is hard not because it's hard, but because it's random and glitchy. It wore me down and took all my ammo many times and just become too irritating to deal with.

I won't be going back to that anytime soon. Maybe after the DLC I'll try again.

I know each strategy and the shotgun method does not work. The randomness of the hit box is just absurd. There's something wrong when shooting it exactly where you're supposed to and it doesn't register or stop him, then another shot to his back leg dropped him once only. The strategy is easy but the glitchiness of it make it unreliable if not impossible. Could be a PS3 framerate issue which wouldn't be a surprise since two OOBs don't work for me.

The other strat I saw was easier and made him no problem BUT, my dog is taking more damage than the video.
