I just wanted to post about this glitch because it should be allowed in All Bosses and 100% if bad stuff happens. It should totally be classified as a Major Glitch though.

1. Hit Aeren until he's almost dead.
2. Run up to right corner until Rubus is also in the top right corner.
3. Run down to the bottom left corner. Rubus's health bar will disappear.
4. Kill Aeren as he runs at you.

There's a video on the Discord if you want to see it. It was posted at 5:41pm on Oct. 1st 2022 in #glitchless

(Hopefully) Last random question: Can I trigger a lever by alerting an enemy and baiting them into hitting it? I have a fun jump that lets me skip 1/3 levers in the final area. But, I may be able to skip 3/3 using a clever bait.

Edit: I 100% can skip 3/3 levers using a clever bait.

That's unfortunate. I just got an amazing NMG run with my optimized route and the jump. The jump skips 2 minutes of just running around enemies that almost never hit you. It's the longest slog in the entire route. Given that there's only one jump and it's really fun I hope you'll reconsider.

Can I use jumps that can be used to skip bosses (mainly the one at 11:45 in my glitchless PB) as faster routes to those bosses? As long as I fight/kill the boss I could skip before doing anything else it doesn't seem any different than a normal jump.

Weird question. Is using weapons to jump gaps considered a glitch in NMG? Also I don't understand why environmental kills are considered a glitch. The game wouldn't have numerous giant cliffs in boss arenas (as well as a boss that takes insane knockback while surrounded by such cliffs) if environmental kills weren't an intended mechanic.
