So last night I was on chapter 3 on Akumu mode and I believe I have found a glitch that hasn't been found yet.....at least I haven't seen any videos about it.

You know how before you pick something up there is an icon in a bubble attatched to a line showing you what it is, right?

Well I was creeping ( Akumu and all ) around the front of the chapter, right outside the safe room house....there is a wagon to the left of the exit door upon exiting, so it's the wagon closer to the enterance of the chapter.....

In front of the wagon, on the right front wheel is where I was hiding, when an icon showed up that I have not seen in the 14 times I have beat the game.

This icon was a skull with a dagger in it's head, so naturally I picked it up.

As soon as I picked it up...this is odd....my hair, my crossbow, and my lantern all started going crazy bouncing up and down off of Sebastians body....and I couldn't move!!!

I actually had to restart the level to end it.....and three more times I went to that spot and it was still there.

I have video from a cellphone of the glitch if anyone would like to see it.

If anyone already has seen this icon, please let me know...it may be just an Akumu thing.

If you look for it, remember...in front of the wagon, right front wheel, to the left immediately upon exiting the safe room house....you must come from behind the wagon, right side, as you reach the front right wheel...make sure you are crouched, look to the right (between the wheel and the tree).

Sorry about the double post...I accidently hit multiquote instead of edit and can't figure out how to delete this reply....so I put it to use.

This is the video I took of the glitch....mind you, it is a cellphone capture.

Please excuse the other videos on my channel, I am a composer.

That is pretty odd.

Is that Seb's toupee floating about over his head? Haha

That's the stealth kill icon. weird

I just went back in all 3 other difficulty files and it isn't there, if I go to that spot in Akumu mode, it is always in the same spot.

This is probably a glitch generated by the save file (your Akumu save file) and not the level itself.

For example, one time I made a thread about Joseph's AI/pathfinding being broken/very poor. It is poor, but what was happening to me was insane. Joseph kept getting himself killed, infinitely, like he was doing it intentionally. He literally ran through traps to get to me when there were safe alternative routes.

When I restarted the level it was fixed. Of course I did have to do everything in the level all over again.

Agreed. Id tech 5 really likes to do that stuff)))

You wouldn't be talking about the trap in the sniping chapter would you? Chapter 6, Losing a Grip...etc? It happened to me so many times I almost stopped the game for good.....once was after I finally got all the spear shooters, Joseph was saying "nothing should stop us from getting to the church now" as I was looting the battleground....every time I went in the spot right by the double lever doors he walked into a trap and died, resulting in the whole fight starting over.

In any mode under Nightmare I wouldn't care....but ightmare is difficult, to say the least, and Akumu....pshhhh...darn near impossible.

Yep, that is exactly the chapter! He kept running into a trip wire on the side of a small room/building when he had absolutely no reason to and he kept doing it every time. It seems the save files glitch the AI and the 'bug' gets saved, hence only restarting the level fixes it.

Oh I can't even imagine going through that in Nightmare or Akumu.
