Did I hear someone say "Glitchiest level ever"?

Scrab Reaper: Now HOW did Abe die in that position when the scrab is down below?

Scrab Repellant: You could stand there forever and the scrab wouldn't attack you.

Scrab Ride: Abe standing on tob of a scrab. Which itself is in a place it shouldn't be.

Scrabanian Zoo: Similar to Scrab Repellant, except with the other scrab still alive.

Also, I managed to get the scrab from the start to fall down onto the platform here once. Any idea how this may have happened?

I had a few of those. Particularly annoying when you're trying to do the secret as well.

ZANGG · #3 10-06-2006, 03:08 AM

And it seems that it's possible to get three scrabs on the same screen here.

I won't say how I did it, if anyone wants to know, PM me.

(And yes, they do indeed enter into a three-way fight)

In my experience one waits for the other two to finish, then battles the victor.

whoa. that's odd... I mean, really odd! like, that is the weirdest glitch I've seen! *stares in amazement.*

Well the first one's pretty simple - you just fall from above. I've done it tonnes of times. The second and fourth ones, I think the scrab just hasn't noticed abe yet.

Where did you get these?

Zerox · #7 10-06-2006, 11:57 PM

He did them himself, didn't he?
I know a Scrab waits for another to finish in AE, but timimg would be important. Two Scrabs a normally nearing the end of a fight when another can appear. The other will display roar or whatever, while the other one then gets in position and does so. Then they attack eachother.
In AE, anyway.
Oh, and for the very first post, maybe it's the Scrab from the other screen (the one when you go up, to the left, and it gets pulled up and attacks you).

ZANGG · #8 10-07-2006, 12:39 AM

The first one is the scrab from the other screen. Run towards him and he knocks you through the walls down to there.

The second and fourth ones, you can stand there AS LONG AS YOU WANT and the scrab will not attack.

The third one comes from them ignoring the lift going up while they're fighting.

Check the screen. All three are on before the fight begins. And for me, all three started fighting at once.

Antoher interesting thing, found this in another level(furthest right, middle height, I think) - Scrabs can fall two entire screens and not die. O_O

ZANGG:....that is weird. O.o

I haven't played AO but that certainly sounds like a very glitchy level. (Those are from AO, right?)

***Xavier*** · #11 10-07-2006, 01:48 PM

the level isn't so glitchy...
the platform-scrab problem is in the whole game... and the rest aren't realy glitches

Zerox · #12 10-08-2006, 04:12 AM

Scrabs survive any height except infinite because they're not proggrammed to die from heights, as there are no areas where they may otherwise be able to reach that the game creators don't want them to get there. Some Paramite areas, there are palces they're not meant to reach, so they go splat.
Once in one Scrab area, one with a weird hole that a Scrab falls through, but it's a well you can go in. Once I judged the lever a little too late and the Scrab went up. So, I pulled the lever again and waited for it to get 2 screens up then come down. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Scrab falls on me and kills me. Gave me a shock, that did. That was two screens odd.
Also, in the area, that's currently being described, I once got the pulley down without the Scrab getting on it. It fell down 2 screens, but when I got down there, it was fighting the other one.
Weirdos.
I tried possessing the Scrab (invincibilty) in the AE 'final' Scrab level, and tried to drop it to the Slog. The game never loaded the second screen after I sent it down. Damn. Would've been fun, too.
Oh, another funny thing: In AE, the secret where you have to trap the Scrab in a box (invincibility again) I went down the platform with the Scrab attacking me. Then I got it off, and made the pulley go up when I was still down there (somehow, I think). The scrab jumped over the pit towards me...well, tried to. It hit the box above and plummeted to it's death, screaming.
That was just SO funny when it happened.
But....how come Scrabs can fall from heights like that, but not make the massive thud that Mudokon's and Sligs do? WEIRD.
Also in AO< in the Scrab final run, I screwed the first jump up and clung onto the edge. For some reason (I've tried it many times and it only worked this once) the Scrab screwed it up to, and leapt straight into the gaping pit.
Stupid things. Oh, and if they kill you with a kick but knock you off of a cliff, then they walk off after you. Honestly, they're glitchy weird AND braindead.

ZANGG · #13 10-08-2006, 09:07 PM

The area you're talking about is also where I did it.

Question though - Why are the scrabs fighting down there? I always make them fight up the top. >_>

Zerox · #14 10-09-2006, 08:29 AM

Up the top? How? I always run to the right quickly to get the up top one to go away, then go back, up the pulley...whatever.
What, you managed to get one up there without being killed?

Zerox · #16 10-10-2006, 09:09 AM

I normally have them fight up top. Can you even get them down?
