DmC - shaking hands with Bob Barbas
12DmC: Devil May Cry is a gift that keeps on glitching! In this episode there's some more exploration of the Bad News level, and at the end Dante makes his way to Bob's TV-studio and asks him for an autograph.
I: okay, so I got this rare glitch variation to work again where you retry game right before the Pier autoscroller starts and Dante kind of travels back in time to a point where Pier is unloaded and the news corridor and other places have re-loaded. I think it is caused by retrying very quick at the start of the fight to make the game forget unloading these areas, but I'm not 100% sure.
II: I first make my way to the Bob arena in this state. The arena is empty at the moment, though, and you just freeze your camera by doing this, so I wouldn't recommend it.
III: then I return to the news corridor and aspire to begin the Bob fight again by using the last lift point. However, something unexpected happens and Dante is thrown into the Pier segment instead. Hm.
IV: a mysterious arrangement of white blocks hovering in nothingness far away from Bob fight arena. I found them by a complete accident, and I don't know what purpose they could possibly serve.
V: since I had won the Pier segment of the fight already, I could find the Virility factory map hovering in the distance. It's pretty neat to go explore it like this. You can see the text "secret ingredient" on the signs and on the wall inside the factory.
VI: there's also a bizarre room adjacent to the factory that I think you never see in the main game. It's a small room that looks to have some strange black fungal growth coming from the ceiling. There are also dripping water effects. The room seems sealed and you can't get inside, though.
VII: finally, during the last phase of the fight, you can find the tv-studio hovering in nothingness. It has a wide plateau of insta-death collision above it, so you have to approach the TV-studio from below to get inside. There's a small corridor outside the studio that you barely see in the game. As a nice detail, there is a red light shining over the door leading to the studio proper, indicating that a live recording is currently going on.
VIII: inside the studio you find the man himself, Bob Barbas, engaged in some sort of isometric breathing exercise from the looks of it. There are also a bunch of cameras and a few computers at the back of the room. None have collision, but the room itself has a floor.
IX: Dante doesn't take being ignored by Bob that well, so he sabotages his newscast, whips him, punches and shoots him and then leaves a signature mark of a charged shotgun shot hovering in the air inside his studio. It can still be seen in the background during the end level cutscene.
