Knights Contract - glitches and observations pt. 3
6Even more unassorted Knights Contract findings. Features nudity!
0:00 - if you skipped meeting Minukelsus after turning 2nd wheel in Episode 6, he'll still be waiting for you to rescue him when the level is almost over. He is just a NPC who can't be interacted with, although you can push him around. Funnily enough, lava can't hurt him, meaning his fears of dying horribly in lava earlier were completely unfounded.
0:58 - at the start of Episode 10, you can blow Heinrich up on the castle walls using Spirit Cannon. This lets you explore a small technically out of bounds area and see a bit more of the scenery than normally possible.
1:36 - it's extremely rare to be able to throw yourself into a pit while in Knight's Fury-mode because naturally occurring OoB are so few and far between in this game. Predictably... you get a game over.
2:04 - another test I did while at it was combine Spear + Fury (as seen previously in another video) while falling into a bottomless pit. I thought that this combination would allow Heinrich to fall down endlessly, but touching the death barrier counts as a "hit" which forces the Spear to be thrown and thus signs his doom. And so you get a game over just as soon as the relevant Fury-mode animations are complete.
2:13 - not sure if it only happens in this spot, but a few times when I took out Spirit Cannon it lacked any and all graphics. Exploding Heinrich with it looked downright supernatural.
2:26 - I think I've never covered this before, so here we go. If you blow Heinrich up but activate Witch's Embrace while still in pieces, Heinrich recovers instantly but in the process he loses his weapon: it falls on ground and becomes useless debris that can be kicked around.
Meanwhile, your attacks still deal just as much damage to enemies, even though the graphics of the weapon are absent. So it's not a very big deal after all. The glitch becomes fixed and Heinrich regains weapon graphics if you enter a cutscene or a loading screen.
3:52 - so, here's the promised nudity.
This has happened to me only once so far, and I have no idea what can cause it. But rarely the half-naked super-Gretchen who appears inside Witch's Embrace cutscene lacks any obscuring particle effects or visual glitter, meaning you will see her mannequin-like body as naked as it's ever gonna get.
Not sure if this is such a great thing, though, because of "uncanny valley". ...I thought the sight was terrifying, personally.
4:13 - some OoB sightseeing that will hopefully act as a mental bleach. Here's what's behind the main gates of the castle at the start of Episode 9.
4:46 - if you clip through the walls in the castle basement, you'll find there's actually a decent amount of floor there. The waterway can be traversed all the way through.
