[isthattrue]

You really should become a professional game tester. You put so much effort into screwing up the game, you are a hacker with a controller.

[findlestick]

@isthattrue Thx. Hacker with a controller...I'd never thought of it in that way, but I guess it's kinda true.

[Felix1993Felix]

Simply fantastic!!!!

[findlestick]

Thanks!

[Felix1993Felix]

I've much to learn from you about the glitch and infinite jumps!!In GoW1 I can do something, but in GoW2 I still made very few...

[findlestick]

Yeah, infinite jump is a real chore in GoW2! The game is not very forgiving with even the slightest mistake when doing the jump.

haha the chain towards the temple of lahkenis IS GONE!!!

[raymflame]

5/5

[BigVEE]

An admirable showing. I find it odd though that you have a 1 star rating.

~Well done

[findlestick]

Thanks, appreciate the comment!

I guess its not a very "flashy" glitch, and the set up is quite long.

Very strange and unexpected tho.

[legoguyz]

This is the BEST glitch I have seen in this game since glitch swimming :) 5/5

So, after the glitch, the next area loaded despite the fact you never even saw the Steeds FMV? I've never seen this kind of glitches before in this game... I have a feeling something big can come out of this.

[findlestick]

You mean, how the game loaded Theseus FMV & Battle after completing the steeds whipathon?

Its interesting how the game can be " tricked" (under certain conditions) to load the wrong FMV,

This glitch has really surprised me, since you know more about glitches than me, any idea why Or how this is possible? (It takes a bit of setting up, but you should give it a go, it feels really weird)

[AKheon]

If I had to guess, I would say it's a locale-specific glitch that might only happen with the Steeds puzzle. First you activate a trigger which sets a flag for the Steeds FMV being loaded and played when certain conditions come to pass, but it fizzles out unexpectedly (a side-result of having broken out). That trigger was one-time only, otherwise the glitch couldn't happen later on. By riding the rope to Theseus, you overwrite that flag with wrong data using the Theseus FMV trigger.

[AKheon]

When you finally go back and finish Steeds puzzle, the game unreservedly loads the FMV that is set in the flag, only in this instance it's the "wrong" one. And, since the game is known to load lots of event data at FMVs, it's not surprising for Kratos to be whisked into the actual Theseus battle afterwards.

[AKheon]

From this we can deduce the following:

1, the trigger which sets the FMV flag and the trigger which plays the FMV set in the flag are two separate ones.

2, the "FMV playing flag" does not (always?) discern which FMV is about to be played.

3, by triggering FMV flag A and not triggering a generic FMV playing trigger before activating FMV flag B, we can fool the game into loading FMV flag B's contents instead of A's.

[findlestick]

Ok cool, yeah Ive been scratching my head on this one and trying to think of any other similar situation in the game where this could be exploited. For the sake of clarity though, I should mention that the part at the end of the vid when Im climbing the (Sometimes) invisible steeds, I actually got there by IJ from the whipping platform, I went to the platform after theseus to see if I could R1 there again. (As expected no.) After the Theseus FMV the game was satisfied that everything was normal.
