Hello all! I'm attempting an Honor Mode glitchless run on PS5 based on Cronos' guide on YouTube. The strategy for Ketheric Thorm and Myrkul is to throw a stack of smoke powder bombs at his feet, exploding for massive damage and instantly ending the fight. I have consistently hit a wall here where the following chain of events occurs:

1. Throw 8 Smokepowder Bombs at Ketheric's feet, triggering the phase change to Apostle of Myrkul.

2. Place 10 Smokepowder Bombs in the world, preparing to throw them at the ground before Myrkul.

3. Carefully aim the throw at Myrkul's feet, ensuring the path is not interrupted.

4. Throw the Smokepowder Bombs at Myrkul, only for them to instantly fall at my own feet, killing me instantly.

This has happened across multiple playthroughs, from different angles, and different characters. What the heck is going o​n?

Hey there! Sorry for the delayed response!

It's critically important that you throw away the first set of smokepowder bombs you buy from Talli because they are glitched and explode when you throw them. All of the other ones work fine but that first set is a trap. If that doesn't work let me know and I can help you figure it out

Also if you need any other help with the speedrun there's a discord server where people are more active than on this forum: https://discord.gg/FtMhkqH2
