List of Bugs/Mechanics
Big thank you to Spacecow for helping me understand the spice forge bug and most of the bugs/glitches in the Ending A route!
Page Down
The key binded to "pg" down will skip through dialogue the fastest (W by default and RB/R1 on controllers)
Cutscene Skip
By holding enter or your "ok" key (A on xbox and X on playstation) you can fast forward through cutscenes. It must also be the last key you press and hold so make sure you hold your page down key first.
Map Skip
By opening the map or using party talk while walking you can ignore event tiles allowing you to skip bosses and cutscenes entirely. This can also let you ignore doorways and go out of bounds. For example you can open the map while walking over tiles that spawn the mob to safely pass through or go out of bounds in the department store.
Dev Spots
These are tiles that give you certain items/gear meant to test the game. As of now there is only three known tiles that can do this.
-The first tile gives bolt cutters, a rifle, 6 .303 ammo and 10 matches. This tile is to the left of the train in shrub close to the blue herb (can be seen in nearly any run). You must press enter/ok 3 times.
-The second tile gives a rusty pipe and an axe when hitting ok/enter and is found near the bottom entrance of prehevil outskirts where the woodsman enemy is located. It is one tile down from a rock on the left near that entrance and it must be interacted with by facing to the left
-The third tile gives 5 .303 ammo and is located in the orphanage Rher dimension. It is found near the ronteal directly down from the regular entrance. It's four tiles to the right and two tiles down when standing directly above where the ronteal is sitting.
Infinite Heads and infinite looting spots
You can gather infinite heads or enemy drops from certain enemies at certain locations.
-You can get infinite contestant heads from Samarie if you kill her in the woodsman's home and can only be done by Marina by trying to sleep in the bed upstairs.
-You can get Infinite cherub heads from a specific cherub in the orphanage. This cherub is found directly to the left when entering the orphanage and in the back of the second classroom in a cluster of three cherubs.
-You can get infinite shillings, small keys, and arms/legs from a neighbor in the Rher dimension of the moldy apartments. When entering the washing machine climb up the ladder, go up the stairs and this neighbor is inside the room closest to you.
-You can get infinite half-cocooned heads from the half-cocooned behind the news agency
-You can get infinite contestant heads from Daan if you kill him in the slums after he leaves your party
Soul Farm
You can get infinite caressing souls by shooting an idle Chaugnar in a very specific location in tunnel 6/7. These souls lower the counter for the souls required to open the door to the moon tower. This glitch does kill Abella, however she will remain alive in your party until you enter the prehevil bop or train to drop off companions. To find this spot, enter tunnel 7, power up the generator and proceed to the room up and to the right of where needles kills tanaka (you will need short circuit or a full party). When entering you will see two number 6s on the wall. Run directly to the right until you see a third 6 and just past this you will see 9 tiles of tarps on the wall, then a door and then 4 tiles of tarps. The tile to shoot Chaugnar in right in front of the first tarp in the set of 4, facing upwards when shooting. You will see text pop up if you shoot with a rifle "You manage to shoot the arm off the crature."
Hexen Teleport
You can teleport to the train with a couple of inputs at the hexen tables located in Donovan's house or in the orphanage in masochism/easier difficulty. To perform the teleport you will need to hover over red arc or moth swarm, press enter as if you are going to take the skill then cancel out and you will be taken to the dream with Per'kele and exiting here will put you back at the train.
Missing collision
There is missing collision when entering the sewers from the lowest right section near a rifleman by the river (Useless). There is also missing collision when immediately entering bunker 1. the railing to the right has no collision.
Infinite bear traps and booby traps
By going out of bounds at a certain location or in a certain Rher dimension you can find infinite bear traps and booby traps.
-One location is in the department store. On the lowest level you can use map skip when walking up the stairs to ignore the loading zone and go out of bounds. Go up and to the right and you can safely collect bear traps and booby traps here.
-One location is in the Rher dimension left and above the train. Draw a Rher sigil at this abandoned shack. Go left 1 tile, up 12 tiles and left 19 tiles for infinite booby traps, and from this spot go left 1 tile for infinite bear traps.
Spice Forge Party
You can give your entire party some specific spice forged spells by simply not taking necromancy or blood golem and setting spiced spells while you are with your party. The most notable and useful spell includes black orb which means you can set black orb, for example, to red spice (double) and the entire party will have double black orb in their skills. This will work for white spice (First turn) and blue spice (Greater) as well.
Infinite Sprint
This glitch causes your stamina to recover very slowly while sprinting. It is not fully understood why this happens but can be somewhat replicated consistently by bumping into a wall right as stamina finishes depleting. Sometimes it just happens at the end of a sprint.
Mob Rot
You can use rot on the meatgrinder mob and it will turn him into a regular half-cocooned mob.
Marina Moonscorch instakill
Using skill: run on Marinas Moonscorch form will instantly kill her. Works in her normal spawn and at the doors of the Moon Tower.
Pipe/Chest time skip
Holding enter/confirm key when pulling out a pipe, beginning to interact with a chest or interacting with a hole in the moldy apartments will fast forward time which includes event timers such as Needles and Gull Brothers spawning into the overworld, Moonscorched Marcoh spawning in the flip side apartments, and the moon timer on masochism difficulty. You need to be holding enter/confirm Before you see the prompts to smoke/open chest pop up so that you don't perform the action, and you need to hold enter/confirm key the entire duration while the prompts are on screen.
Attack glitch
If you teach La Danse Macabre or adrenaline rush to a party member, then leave them in the bop or train, and kill an enemy on turn 4, another on turn 3, and another on turn 2 (in that order), when you retrieve that party member, they will have all the damage buffs from those skills for one battle.
Flower glitch
If you plant a flower on the old town villagers then the enemies in the white bunker will turn into pile of flesh.
Gunshot damage swapping
The damage bullets deal depends on the gun you are holding when the bullet hits an enemy, not the one it was fired from. This means you can, for example, fire a pistol, then quickly switch to a shotgun and deal 3 overworld damage instead of 1. However, the Executioner skill (which allows you to two-shot enemies with a shotgun) cannot be triggered this way.
Free Mastermind Chac Chac
You can obtain a free chac chac from the mastermind through various ways. These include skill: talk, skill: run, blood golem, and scorched earth
Mechanical Dance and Mastermind spawn kill
You can shoot at the spot that the Mastermind and Mechanical Dance would normally spawn on and kill them while they are not there.
-
The Mastermind will not give his soul but you will be able to to loot his corpse for the Beheaded Wizard, Yellow Mage Clothes, and a soul stone.
-
The Mechanical dance will give her soul and you will be able to collect her head.
Hi everyone!
We just wanted to announce some visual updates to the site, some updates to the rules, and introduce premade optimal saves for speedrunning. The visual update was just simply for a refreshing new look.
Regarding the updated rules, most of them are small grammatical changes/fixes b
