God Of War 2 - Almost a Translator Skip

Damn this was close to a Translator skip! I was disappointed when I opened that ram door only to find that the next area is not loaded.

Points of interest:
1. I you jump up to the area where you come back from killing the second translator and then do 1 high jump, the game seems to load the ram horn into Kratos even though he never has it.

2. Once you "get" the ram horn (as described in Point of interest 1) you can only use the ram horn for one opening (of the ram door).

3. If you open the door once, and then "get" the ram horn. And then return to the ram door again, youll notice that the ram door is in the down position, and Kratos opens it without using the ram key.

4. If you then return and "get" the ram horn once again, and then return to the ram door (yet again), youll notice the ram door in the up position, Kratos then inserts the ram horn into mid air, the door comes down at that stage and then Kratos opens the door again.

5. Although this is a missed skip (for now?) it shows us that the game can load data into Kratos if he just goes past certain areas. (For example: In this vid, the game loads the ram horn "into" Kratos, for a one-time use, even tho he doesnt have it. The game does this because Kratos crossed a point in the game, the game has assumed that he must have the ram horn.)

6. I wonder if there are any other parts of this game (or GoW1) where a similar outcome is possible but hopefully with a better outcome.

7. I put this vid up in case anyone else has any ideas on how this glitch in this vid could be expanded upon resulting in a Translator skip.

1. I had already tried such trickery. Nothing ever worked like the real 'key'. There was always an issue (invisible wall, nothing loaded, etc.). I'd tried using the door up top after opening the door below only to fall into forever. It was false hope to expect it to just 'load' for me. It's like the AQ trial situation where nothing we did could fool the set-up of the trigger.

Such a tease! Get the "key" but nothing loaded on the other side.

BTW I had heard a rumor that someone had gotten "Swimming" glitch at Atlas. Have you heard anything? If so, do you know the location, so I can do up a vid?

Does this trick work on the other (Warrior's Skull) door?

[findlestick]

Strangely no, youd think this glitch would apply more to the skull door, than the ram door. Wonder if it works on the ram door at 1st translator?

I beat first translator wit lvl 3 head of eurayle by insta freezing the summoners and then spamming lvl 1 atlas quake

nice trick man you are a master of g-o-w2

[addaminsain]

Interesting find but it amuses me to see the game cockblocking your trickery.

[HermanAnimation]

That is weird...

[AKheon]

As far as I know, swimming does not exist in Atlas. Speaking of that...

[BigVEE]

I can't recall. IF one did, it wouldn't change anything about the AQ trial. I'd advise asking AKheon. It's slipped my mid should the case be any such 'claim' exists.
