God of War - minor glitches & observations pt. 16
43Still some more glitches & observations from this noble game.
0:00 - you can go through any rising floor surface using LAM. Too bad there isn't much rising floor in the game...
0:11 - not sure if it was already shown anywhere or not, so here's the way to skip the fight when returning to the thrashed Temple of the Oracle.
0:18 - a semi-promising observation: you can move common checkpoint triggers by being in air when you hit them.
Here I do a long jump to move a checkpoint location as far in the corridor as I can, then do black-out time glitch. Sadly you can't realistically jump far enough to skip the Oracle intro cutscene, but you can jump far enough to go past the map transition and get yourself killed... yeah. But this notion might allow more black-out time skips elsewhere in the game.
0:48 - black-out time at Rooftops. You can barely skip the Wraiths intro scene with the trick, but unfortunately the next area won't load this way. As a consolation prize, you get to see Ares hanging out in unloaded nothingness looking silly.
1:51 - black-out time at Temple of the Crystal Eye. You can skip the cutscene where the pull switch of the Eye activates, but this is likely very useless since you need the pull switch to complete the Rings of Pandora.
2:25 - a strange oddity with BoA blocking. If you do a blocking BoA roll off a ledge, the roll does not interrupt unlike any other type of roll (or 99% of attacks) in the game. Here I do the roll over nothingness (with LAM) just for extra style points.
2:40 - ever wondered what would happen if you pulled the Eye together after completing Rings of Pandora? Here's how to do it. Normally the Eye switch deactivates for good during a timed cutscene after the elevator to the Cliffs is unlocked. But: if you quickly visit the corridor leading to CoP before this cutscene, then return, the switches return to place without a cutscene instead. Now you can quickly grab the switches before they become disabled and hold on to them even as they sink back into the wall.
But... using the switch now does nothing interesting. You just get the generic reaction of the light shining and ostensibly hitting nothing. But now we know.
This would be a time saving strat as well, if it weren't for the fact that you have to roll far away and back to skip the cutscene.
3:45 - doing PR skip from the other side, from where the red orb chest is. Well, at least this way you see where you are falling and have some extra time to react to things...
