Finding New glitches

Is anybody trying to find new glitchess anymore?

Norway

I've taken a small break from this game, focusing on work and Shrek 2 at the moment. I have bought a Japanese copy already, so I'm gonna run this again.. Probably not gonna run until after ESA ;)

If you enter a cutscene while OOB, nothing happens. Also, if you end the day in OOB, nothing happens

Sorry i haven't been looking at the forum Im going to look for sonera glitches related to camera manipulation

Norway

Using flipendo randomly at Diagonally and some places around Hogwarts, causes some HEAVY lag sometimes, so only use flipendo when you need to

Oklahoma, USA

Areas are loaded based on the location of the camera not on where harry is (you can load and unload areas without moving harry). Getting the camera locked in place could result in additional oob.

If you use a door and go back through it before it closes the game freaks out and puts you back on the original side if the door. could potentially skip cutscenes with this.

Norway

Can you make a video of this?

United Kingdom

Yeah, that happened a lot when I was doing through the door too quickly during bean farming in 100%

Egypt

Has anyone found this clip yet?

Just happened to me today during a run.

Norway

That might actually be useful. I will try and look into that

It's a pixel perfect clip.

Possible problems:

  • while jumping Oob, if Harry goes too low you can't clip back to the correct room
  • if you faint before finishing the challenge as you didn't get the savepoint behind the Gargoyle the game will put you back in the room with the book
Egypt

Nice! I had a feeling there was a way to get back to the main room using that clip. I've only gotten it twice, both times by accident, but I ended up jumping back into the hell room with the platforms since I wasn't sure how to get back to the main room.

Egypt

Also, I can confirm that the Expeliarmus chamber skip works on Xbox, gonna try the Incendio challenge skip in my next run.

Norway

Looks pretty good. But it looks kinda slower? idk

Well, now that I had some practice I can say with confidence that you don't actually have to use the corner, you can get the correct angle without it, it's just helpful to get the correct position for the first time. Once you had enough practice you can do it without the corner.

I actually timed it:

That's 1:26 vs 1:30. Assuming quasi-optimal movement and good ghost cycles, using this clip saves about 5-6 seconds. It's a neat clip, but you have to get it first try. Although, to be fair, I timed it against a trick that maybe none of you know about? This saves like 5 seconds as well.

Norway

Nice! Good job !!

England

Here's a weird glitch I encounted that may hopefully be useful somewhere...

After looking into this glitch I've worked out how to do it. All you do is quit the game on the last few frames before a cutscene starts (In this case it was the washing machine cutscene). To know if it will work you will see the cutscene playing as the screen fades to black and upon starting a new game (or load game, not sure yet?) For some reason the floor doesn't load and you spawn where harry is standing in the cutscene you quit on. This is was on the Xbox version, I'll look into the GCN and PS2 versions aswell (Unless anyone else want's to)

Here's a video of the glitch:

Unfortuneatly doing this in The Burrow softlocks the game because you miss the first goal 'Smash some objects' meaning you can't end the day.

I'll try to find a way to get around this and I'm going to try this with other cutscenes but I hope this turns out to be useful because this glitch is great.

England

I can only get this glitch to work in The Burrow and that softlocks the game (I tried this with every cutscene during The Burrow). Also quitting a cutscene and pressing load game doesn't seem to work either, Unfortunately it looks like this glitch is useless in Speedrunning but it's still pretty interesting.

England

When you save and load it loads you on the same map you saved the game on so that doesn't work (I tried this in Borgin's). Also I managed to hit the glass jar whilst OoB but after the next cutscene plays the map loads properly so that won't work either.

Even though this isn't applicable anywhere in runs, This still may lead to something, I'll keep looking ^_^
