Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - glitches and observations pt. 2
16Some other recent clips, presented in a semi-random order, as well as an entire section dedicated to Infinite Blizzard glitch at the end.
0:00 - near the start of the game, you can barely jump over the big chasm and land on some floor... but there is an invisible wall in the way, preventing you from skipping the climbing section. While there is some odd collision to the left that allows you to do "infinite falling jump" and get higher, the invisible wall still remains too high.
0:25 - before meeting Raisa Volkova, there is a stealth section where you have to possess a scientist. If you kill the scientist by other means, you can have the exit doors open momentarily... but you can't pass through because of an invisible wall. Why does this game has to be so scripted? Can't a player use his creativity?
0:41 - in instances where there is normal floor right beneath a death floor, you can do a jump off the normal floor without dying with very precise timing. I found it most easiest to do after an air attack or a Somersault that is cancelled at the end by sprinting.
0:55 - wherever there is "angled collision" that you can't normally stand on, you can climb on it by trying to use your relics. Basically another way to utilize this collision.
1:23 - a graphical glitch. Sometimes a Void or Chaos Shield appears without the colored bubble around Dracula.
1:48 - a long jump technique: if you do a Somersault that lands right on a platform's edge, buffer a sprint after the Somersault and then jump, Dracula does a sprint jump slightly in air. It's only a slight advantage, but better than nothing.
1:56 - a test of what happens if you drop into a chasm as a cinematic cutscene starts. Nothing much happens, although Dracula spawns to somewhere different than he was supposed to after the cutscene.
(Not on vid: also tested what happens if you die in the same circumstance. The dying scene cancels the cinematic cutscene, apparently, nothing much happens to an even higher degree.)
2:08 - a basic break-out of the level changing switch when in Castle for the first time. A cutscene glitch occurs: first Dracula just stands in one place for a while, then complains about the blood clots that aren't even visible because the wall compartment never opened.
2:42 - a small glitch at the Stone Golem boss. Normally at the start of the fight you are forced to hit the Golem with Void Sword a few times and learn that using the Sword drains your magic away. But if you waste your magic using some special move without making contact with the boss, nothing happens at first. Then when you hit the boss with a Whip melee attack, the game continues the tutorial in a slightly nonsensical looking way.
3:01 - the first place in the game where you can begin Infinite Blizzard is at the end of the first Vampire fight. It's probably more trouble than it's worth to do the glitch here, though, for reasons that soon become clear...
3:33 - being close to a waterfall while the glitch is active creates a nice rhythmic sound. It's like Dracula is carrying his own cheap techno remix with him. However, the waterfall never becomes frozen like this.
3:55 - your Void magic keeps endlessly draining away, as if Dracula was casting Blizzard at the moment. It's slightly troublesome to get past the next few room with constantly draining Void Magic (since you need it), but not impossible.
4:16 - you have to end Infinite Blizzard before meeting Raisa Volkova because you are unable to possess enemies while this glitch is active. They get killed or alarmed before you have the time to do a possession. I try to jump at the scientist because Blizzard does not have an effect beneath Dracula, just to get a little closer before the scientist dies... but in vain.
4:43 - transforming into a mouse while the Guard is next to you can cause the Blizzard hit effect to stay on the Guard indefinitely. The A.I. of the Guard is also messed up and he won't try to kill the rats at all. The alarm seems to stay on forever if this happens, and you have to retry next.
(Not on the vid: the Blizzard effect shuts off temporarily whenever you are in rat form.)
