I JUST FOUND THE BIGGEST GLITCH EVAR.

So I was sequence breaking and grabbed the imperialist before I had fought Sylux for the first time. I went to fight him, and because I'm good at shooting while moving, I kept getting headshots on him. He went into the middle room and I killed him before his ship appeared. The battle ended, and the cutscene showed him flying off, but there was no ship. After the cutscene, his ship appeared. I couldn't scan it, but it could shoot me. I could shoot it too, and make its gun retract. I left the space station and when I came back, it was gone.

Also I got pushed into a secret world in Combat Hall, but that's it.

interesting. but i don't understand something, when you lower sylux's energy leve to a certain point, you actually activate the trigger which then activates the cutscene. how did you skip that trigger? i don't think you can kill sylux with a head-shot in one shot, but when you lower his energy, he walks into the big room, then doesn't the ship come in then?

also, for the sw, what happened? did you get pushed through with a alt. form, or the "rocket jump boost backward" thing? i might update my list at the sw topic, if you could be more specific

Well, actually, his ship takes like ten seconds to appear. I killed him in eight.
As for the SW in Combat Hall, I was playing as Sylux on multiplayer. The other guy was Trace, and in the tunnel, I was at the end near the jump pad and Magmaul.
He was in Triskelion, lunged at me, and sent me through the wall. I fell and died. Evil or Very Mad

I was going across drip moat and I accidentally landed on the platform so I morphed and went onto the ledge in front of the door. Then, when you unmorph you can't move, as if you're still on the platform. This stays with you even if you go to other rooms. Just an interesting little glitch. :P

the graphics in piston cave are all messed up...

If you go in the back way standing, and look at the artifact from a certain angle, the entire thing will disappear, along with the artifact shield.

Edit: It seems that Sylux is prone to glitches.

I went into the Sylux 1st fight area by going through a frost wall. the fight wasnt triggered, so i went around back sylux. Too bad I couldnt damage him. Crying or Very sad

So i shot him a few dozen times, then pushed him around. I pushed him all the way to the frost wall I came into, and then i couldnt get him through.

I went past the trigger point, and lo and behold, the fight started. Sylux came at me from the area I had pushed him to, with no damage applied, even after all of my shooting.

I boosted towards where the force field appears, but it spawned just as i was about to go past it. Maybe someone faster can make it past. that'd be pretty funnie.

I stood on Sylux's head. Too bad there arent any open areas.

-To go through frost walls, you dont need missiles. anything with a knockback works, including the battlehammer.

To do: Someone needs to find a way to go through frost walls backwards. Then i could do some pretty wicked stuffs.

This is very small glitch, but you know in echo hall, you go through the maze thing and you go into the main room with the orange shield things on the floor (also where you end up fighting the hunter if you encounter one in echo hall). Well in there, look up at the ceiling and jump...you'll notice that your arm cannon goes through the ceiling slightly.

Correction: The force field trigger point is too big. there is no way you could boost past that trigger point and through the field during the sylux fight.

Ready and willing.

Ugh, the second link... "LOL LETS TAG AS SEX AND GORE TO GET MORE HITS WIIIIII"

Gogo non-escaped special characters, I guess. Wonder if putting %% would just give you %... I actually saw this on my rival name list... hopefully it isn't "contagious".

i DID go through the frost wall backwards. i ended up in the room where sylux is, so it seems my trick does work. and good find on the battlehammer thing. i'll go test this trick out with some other stuff later

i think i found two different glitches that take place in the same room:

1- In sic transit, when you are in the very front door of the room, shoot the beam left, near the small ice spear thing in the ground. you'll probably notice that there is a "invisible" wall, or more like a small boulder. i think this was a beta object that was taken out of the game, with the collision detectors still in place. because there's more to this "invisible boulder"..

2- morph into a ball, and roll toward the "boulder", you should get stuck in the back of this invisible object, if you unmorph, try to move foward. you won't. you will just be stuck in this thing.

now i'm trying to see if this will get us a sw, but when i'm trying to move or get out of the boulder, i get the glitchy "rapid movement" thing. oh, and to get out, either jump in human form, or boost your way out in morph ball. i'm going to expereiment on this thing and if it has any use

I was battling a 3 star kanbot in combat hall yesterday and I was sylux and I put a trip wire in front of it just before it was gonna come out of the first mb tunnel, and it just stopped moving. :-s So I "poked" it a few times with the magmaul and it was still frozen. Even after the tripwire exploded it was still frozen. So I pushed it around the tunnel a bit until it fell out and started moving again. Talk about lack of AI. laugh new

Thats not what I mean. I mean to go through the frost walls that lead to the middle part where you battle sylux and his ship. I got into the sylux room and moved sylux around a bit.

I think this would count as a glitch, its sort of like the rapid missile in MP1. If you fire a weapon, you can fire another weapon while it is reloading. For most weapons this isn't very useful, because they fire fast and switching takes a bit, but on the Imperialist, you can fire a shot, switch to and fire a missile, and switch back in time for the next Imperialist shot, or you could fire a few power beam shots. I don't know if this would be very useful, but its interesting to note.

yup i've tried that too...works but not too use ful in combat....unless you have some one switch back and forth for you...

nice, I just found this hella tight glitch that can save a ton of time during a speed run. Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure how I got it to happen, although I'm pretty sure it has to do with the name glitch, and more specifically, adding a %n as the 4th/5th/both letters, but that's just my guess. Falcomi and I were messin around with the name glitch one day and found that if we used %n, our name could be the names of different hunters or their alts. Then it would stay like this even if we changed out names until we reset or did a battle. And if we did a battle our name would be "Complete." It was pretty weird.

Anyways, I was playin adventure for the first time in a while when I came to a room where I was supposed to battle a guardian. But it wasn't there and I had to reset. I thought it was just one of those random glitches, so I went there again, and again it didn't show up. So after testing some stuff with it, I made a new file to see if kanden would show up, but he didn't. So, I started to shoot where kanden normally appears and I started doing damage to him! It was like he was invisible, but frozen! I could even scan him!

but I don't know what will happen with the bosses and the multiple stage hunter battles. I'm gonna go through the game and see what happens. There's a good chance that somewhere during the game it'll mess up and stop me from finishing it.

so where did you put the % signs to do this?

primetime

2006-05-15 08:37:13 pm

darn it, my game fixed itself after I turned it off. Maybe it was just a one time thing and had nothing to do with the name glitch.

Well, I'll still explain where I put the %n's. I just put them as either the 4th, 5th or both letters in my name (eg %a%d%i%n%n), and it would either have some words from the game (like Alternate Form: Halfturret or Stylus Mode Right) or just a bunch of letters and numbers. Putting different combinations of letters comes up with different things. Also, it doesn't have to be 5 letters, it can also be 4.

k. gotcha. I didn't try the glitch right then. I put in normal letters than the % symbol as letters 4 + 5 (as in laz%%en)

I found that the trace/noxus battle lagged ALOT. like, overly much.

i put in %d%e%a%n%n and my user name turned into DUAL MODE RIGHT...haven't tested it yet though...

And how would you do this?

Are you talking about the Sylux Morph Bomb fly method?
