Watchmen: The End is Nigh - out of bounds in Part 2-2
8Just a fun adventure from when we were playing this game with Kazooie. He was playing Nite Owl, I was playing Rorschach.
Basically, you can stack boxes in this game to get higher and eventually go over walls. It's fairly difficult because the main characters cannot handle objects other than pushing or punching them, and the necessary height for getting over walls is fairly precise.
On the plus side, it seems walls are usually just as high as they look like, making it easier to predict where you might be able to go out of bounds.
0:00 - first successful attempt. We didn't really know what we were doing and just pushed the boxes however, but got over to the higher area by sheer luck.
The entirety of the higher area is out of bounds. The level no longer draws properly if you go deep enough, and on the right side there's also a small hole in the wall you can fall through. The character dies after a short moment after falling, probably from hitting the bottom of the map.
0:37 - we were curious and gave the technique another go. It's hard work organizing the boxes in a correct way and seems to require a lot of luck no matter what. It would be almost impossible to do this without co-op, because sometimes having your co-op partner push the lower boxes is necessary to get higher.
For solo box pushing, I would imagine Rorschach with a weapon in hand would be the best option. This is because he can do rolls, which help him gain a little extra height by himself.
In any case, on this, our 2nd attempt, we realized it wasn't possible to reach the left side of the higher area from here...
1:33 - so we just had to do this a third time. Now we almost had something resembling a system for pushing the boxes, and we put every box in the area in a neat order of height...
But trying to be systematic didn't help for long, and soon the boxes were a mess once again. Regardless, after enough trickery, we managed to get to the left side as well. And for what? It turned out it was pretty much the same thing as the right side, except it didn't even have a hole in the wall to fall through. Welp... Should've seen that coming.
As a side note, it's theoretically possible to push another player on top of a box as well, but the character standing on top tends to slip off.
