In AE (again), go to Bonewerkz. In Annex 7, you can get the Shrykul and also can walk into some electrical barriers. :P What do you get if you walk into an Electrical Barrier while being a Shrykul? :D


I don't get it... you can't walk while your Shrykull, so how are you supposed to walk into the Barrier?

Nate 08-21-2006 04:44 PM

Ummm... yes you can. How are you meant to get from the screen where you attain the shrykull power to the screen with the mines?

Cullen Heath 08-21-2006 05:23 PM

You're not going to tell me that you can move around while after you have chanted, and are Shrykull.

Xavier 08-21-2006 10:48 PM

I don't think you can...
my idea is that he chanted right next to the barrier :p

Well, from the photos I saw of you, it made sense. Still, Eddie it is from now on.

I spy a glitch in the Oddworld Forums. It seems if you leave a tag open in your signature, the “Last edited by&hellip” message is fiddled with. :p

Whaddya mean tab? You mean an extra line?


I must try that later...

Yep, Xavier got it right in one. :) Stand next to the barrier and chant with your Shrykul. Check out the little screenshot of the glitch that I posted.

He means my crappy little Marquee sig doesn't have it's HTML tags closed at the end because it'd be over the 1,500 character limit if I close them. :P It seems to affect the "Edited by blah blah at 10:50pm 10/10/66" thing. Hmm.

But it still works. :P (Hope it's not too annoying, BTW - Anything using the Marquee tab normally is.)

E'l Scrabino 08-21-2006 11:43 PM

Ok :). How'd you make your sig btw?

Zerox 08-22-2006 02:12 AM

I thought it was that the elctricity 'flickered' on and off for you to get past, and that you step in while it's off, and then go Shrykull.
Have to try that somepoint, when I'm not playing the games I'm currently doing...
In AO, in the secret area with two Slog in (and a wall, so it's really two) I get the Mudokon/s to follow me, then while following, I go through a portal myslef, and when I appear back in the normal area, you hear footsteps, and the Mudokon appears from the left. Then you can do weird stuff with it.
I'll have to play it again and make a more detailed thing. This is only rough, though. Weird, though.

rookybeats 08-22-2006 05:18 AM

about 3 years ago on my old playstation, i was playing abes oddysee, i went up to a mudokon, and i said hello.. when he stood up, he waved his hand like they do, and without saying hello, he screamed, just like when abe screams after falling off of a cliff, it was soo funny, and then when i asked him to follow me, the game froze

That's what I thought it would have been, cause I knew that you're never able to walk with Shrykull. But Chanting next to it makes sense. Thanks Dark Hood!

Nate 08-22-2006 07:21 PM

Just did it myself. That's totally wierd and cool.

It's funny that the first time you step under a falling crate, it squashes you but after that you just walk through them as if they're not there. And the clouds of dust that are your only mark of position after stepping on a bomb.

Bullet Magnet 08-23-2006 02:28 AM

Actually, the "land on your back and survive a fall" glitch has happened to me before, and I wasn't using invincibility.

Well it was shown in the screen shot Dark Hood posted. :p

Bonedust 09-07-2006 12:44 PM

There is the glitch when you killl Blisterz Booty headbut him about 50 times until he dies. The movie when he is put in prisions still takes place.
You get paid 100 mollah since he is "dead" and if you go in the jail house he stands there where you can talk to him.

ZaxXx 05-17-2007 10:12 AM

I found really cool bug (I dont want to make new topic for this) in AE - Mudanchee Vault - Secret

Secret entrance:



First go to the right, pull the lever, then run back to the lever on the left and kill all fleeches:



Then tell all mudokons to follow you and lead them here:



Stand next to them and fart:



They will walk into the wall:



But they will fall away!!


There is no way to get the mudokons back (except load game), they cant be saved and they cant be killed.

This was tested only on pc version. Try it, it's really cool!

You can download save game with all the mudokons standing next to the wall:
http://oddworld.modifikace.com/bugs/...ng/falling.sav

enjoy :D

Zerox 05-17-2007 10:38 AM

Isn't there a cheats/glitches topic for the Oddworld games? I'm surprised there isn't.

Jordan 05-17-2007 11:41 AM

That glitch is freaky, OWI must have forgotten to add collision to that floor when a Mud fell. Yeah, there should be a glitch thread, that'd be cool! :)

Wil 05-17-2007 12:33 PM

It may be quite old, but I have resurrected the most recent glitch thread to move this glitch here. Nice find, Zax. It looks really weird to do! Quicksave just before you fart and use the F6 key to watch it over and over.

Marvak 05-19-2007 01:56 AM

I remember some glitches in MO...
At the start of the second or third last level (can't remember which) you're in this little dormitory with an expresso vendo. I was just mucking around as Abe, when I jumped behind the vendo and couldn't get out >.<
And once on the level called 'No Muds Land', Munch jumped into the well that goes from the enclosed fence spot to the water with mines in it, and Munch landed on a mine, bounced off that and landed on another mine! -_- Not cool.

OddjobAbe 05-19-2007 03:20 AM

Is it the bit near the many sligs? If so, you need to get out of the wheelchair to prevent that from happenning.

Marvak 05-19-2007 03:51 AM

Aaah, I see... I'll try it without the wheelchair next time I have access with the xbox <3

Zerox 05-19-2007 05:53 AM

Game: AO
Place: Beginning of Paramonian temple.
How to: As usual, the Slig and Slog should be there next to the pulley. Do the usual, and possess the Slig. Then, get the Slog to follow you. Go to the right side of pulley with the Slog, and pull the lever to send the pulley down. Then, get the Slog to the edge, and command it to "Git 'im" it will run off the edge. Pull the lever again to bring the pulley back up, and go down. The Slog will be down there, but stuck behind an invisible wall. You cannot shoot it, as the bullets are deflected. Telling the Slog to follow you will make it swerve left and right in confusion. Telling the Slog to "Git 'im" will make it run off the screen to the left and disappear completely.

Chubfish 05-19-2007 08:13 AM

I know a very good glitch that only works in certain places on the game on Abe's Oddysee. You can go through walls with this, but only walls that are on the left side (so only walls on the left, not the right although I havent really tested this out on that side and I dont know if this works for the PC version).

Firstly, get 5 steps away from the wall you want to try to go through. Make sure there are no ledges against the wall that you could grab onto.

Secondly, runjump at the wall and immediately start chanting as soon as you land(you might wanna hold in L2 and L1 as soon as you runjump). You should be slightly in the wall now.

Finally, jump up. If this worked, abe should jump up and sorta slip to the left of the wall and be through it.

If this confused any of you, I will soon post a video of what I mean because that looks hard too understand.

I know many places of where this will work and one of them is in the Stockyard Escape level, where you go into the first secret.

Once you go through the door, go all the way too the end of the path leading too the bird portal but don't go through it, just go right too the end. You should be by the wall.

Count 5 steps away from it, do a runjump and instantly start chanting as you land. Then, jump up. You should go through the wall. Now, if you go too the left even further, you should be on the background of the screen with the lights that light up when you chant (with the scrab in that pit). If you walk one more step, you will fall and go off the screen and a few seconds later the scrab will dissapear. And then you will have to restart your game :) .

I haven't tested this on the PC version so I do not know if it works. If all this is too confusing or you can't be bothered too read it, just PM me and I will try too upload a video as quickly as possible. Enjoy, if you can understand it anyway!


EDIT: I tryed it on the PC version and it worked. And I also tried it on Exoddus and it worked too! I used the demo and no -ddcheat, but the glitch used above! Here are 3 screenies:

^^ Try it out on the real version on any wall too the left! Enjoy!

Reiji Neko Mitsukai 05-20-2007 11:11 PM

One thing I noticed with AO on PC...

Towards the beginning of the game, in the screen with a slig in the background and one mudokon scrubbing the floor behind the safety of a huge pipe (will try to add screenshots later) I accidentally found this little trick...

When you first enter the screen, stop and chant to possess the slig. Once you've got him, take him all the way to the left of his platform, then run to the right. Release the run button just before he reaches the wall- he will stop, then walk through the wall and fall off. Once he falls off the screen he will disappear, but you'll be able to see the next few screens. Once the preview is done, you'll return to the screen you were on, and the slig has returned.

Sorry if it's already on this thread. That's what I get for being gone for two years. :dead:

ZaxXx 05-21-2007 08:06 AM

skillya_glowi 05-21-2007 04:45 PM

Cool glitch :D
How do you make a video of the game? :fuzconf: The only thing I was able to do was film the screen on a crappy camera standing on a pile of books.

Mistress of Oddworld 05-21-2007 06:40 PM

Is it just me, or do most faults in AO happen in the stockyards, paramonia, paramonian temple and the monsaic lines? I am yet to play through paramonia without some form of glitch happening, especially near the start where you have to whistle to get the elavator. it either never comes, or it won't move up.

You get some kind of screen recording program, if you search on Google, you'll find a ton. But it's really complicated and you have to set it to the right settings to get it how you like.

Hm... Maybe it's because these areas aren't as important as places like Soulstorm Brewery, and OWI haven't concentrated on them so much as the industrial places. Or maybe the Paramites and Scrabs like to curse the player for being in their home. :D

ParamiteSurprise 05-22-2007 03:05 AM

One glitch ive always known...
 
Has anyone experienced this problem, or can be quite useful, go on an elum, run into a wall and slow down before your touch it, this 'slow down' must be walk, Eg, Ps: Hold R1 > > > > Release R1 >>> Stop.

THIS IS ON AO DONT FORGET

However, sometimes this may cause the game to lock out, and this ALSO works with sligs, may not work with abe because they always put extra work on the main character.

Even on the first level slig, quickly hoist, possess him fast enough, do that glitch above ^ where the paramite pies or is it scrab cakes poster, or nothing there, run into it do the glitch walk out

then slig = boom :D

sorry if this is on the wrong thread :(

And another1

THIS IS ON AO DONT FORGET

In stockyards, i went through that door in the shadows, i accoplished that secret area by chanting the scrab making it fall down the cliff, i went out of the secret area, and the scrabs just kept spitting and howling, and was not killing me, so i went a few screens back, and noticed EVERY scrab was doing it!! its so wierd, ive actually saw it on YouTube ages ago, i thought the video was fake too! :p

TTChopper 06-07-2007 06:24 AM

I have found two glitches or bugs. I don't really know are they glitches or bugs. :P And both are for Abe's Oddysee.
Well, I was at Paramonia Temple, trying glitch what Zerox just told. So, I possessed slig and leaded that slog to the ledge. I first pulled the lever, and oh my god: slog was freezed! It didn't move and it didn't animate. It was just here standing at the same position. I told to the slog "Here boy" and I heard slog to bark, but it still didn't move. Then I shot it and it died like normally.
I am not sure is this a glitch or a bug, but at the boardroom, there is two saws. I went past them and hoisted up. I rolled just next to the saw, and when it was up, I rolled to right but... I still got sawed! Even if the saw was up, I still died.

Up here.

Sawned!

Nate 06-07-2007 06:37 AM

With the saws in the boardroom; it may have just been coming down at the moment you rolled under it. You can't see the top part of the saw so it's tough to judge.

TTChopper 06-07-2007 06:48 AM

Sorry, but I am not so slow. :p

Chubfish 06-07-2007 11:47 AM

You must have been too quick, and timed it so it went up BUT was slightly in the space Abe was, triggering his death as you rolled into the saw. I mean, he rolled into the saw as you went too quickly.

ZaxXx 06-17-2007 02:58 AM

Funny Glitches!

TTChopper 06-17-2007 09:08 AM

Is this a bug or a glitch?

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/Thinnage.jpg
I knew that Abe is thin, but this is too much.

And Chubfish. Believe or not, I weren't too slow or too fast. I tested. I went up, and when the saw went up, I waited and still both of the saws were up and then rolled to right. Sawned.

Chubfish 06-17-2007 09:49 AM

Lol, is it Zulag 11 or 14? Lol, well anyways, that is a small bug that happens with mines on AO, i've done it there and also i've done that in the stockyards and Paramonia. You still can't make it all the way too the other side in Monsaic lines though...has anyone tried my glitch too clip through walls in AO yet? You know, 5 spaces away from the wall, run, jump, chant, your in the wall, jump up then you slip through? It works particulary well in the background and sometimes in the foreground and only works on the walls too the left. Someone try it on the PC version of AO, as I need to see if it works! If so, then I might tell you where the best places to do it are. Oh yeah, you can also jump through a wall at Monsaic Lines - go to the place with the bells, then climb up the ledge. Go all the way to the end and then count 3 or 4 steps away from it then run and jump at the wall. You will go through it and hear abe getting killed. It may even be 5...well anyway...

Director Phleg_47 06-18-2007 05:09 AM

In AO when you return to Rupture Farms in Zulag 1 when you are heading back right to the start you get to a bit past the Grinding Area where there is a ledge and a "Paramite Pie" Poster, sometimes one of the Sligs will walk through the metal and get stuck in it you can walk down and the Slig will try and shoot at you, eventually he will walk off and die.

TTChopper 06-18-2007 11:13 PM

Sounds cool. I haven't seen that. I have to test it.

Gotcha. Found another bug or glitch, but this time I think it's a bug. :p

Well, I decided to go Abe's Exoddus saving all 300 mudokons. Well, I saved all mudokons between Soulstorm Mines and Feeco Depot. When I went to Feeco Depot, I went to Slig Barracks. Yeah... The door wasn't open. Then I went to see if Bonewerkz was open. It wasn't. Then I went to see Executive Office (or what is it). It wasn't open either. Then I went to see Soulstorm Brewery. Guess what? It was open! I just did Mudomo Vaults last test and came to Feeco Depot and Soulstorm Brewery was open! Of course, I went inside and went to Soulstorm Brewery.

What have I done?

I haven't got pictures, so I haven't got any proofs. Believe me or not. ;)
