  1. DARK DAWN REVOLUTION
  2.  
  3. It all started on Monday when Valyssa was glitch hunting / relearning Dark Dawn. She noticed that there was a fairly large seam near Champa. With a little wiggling, she walked into the seam and out of bounds on the world map. For the second time in this games life, we had found an out of bounds instance. Unlike the Endless Wall glitch (which happens right at the end of the game) this trick (now dubbed the Valysseam) actually could be used in a speedrun to skip some things.
  4.  
  5. It wasn't long before Valyssa found another out of bounds clip near the Goma Highlands; this third out of bounds was significant - Psynergy Training grounds was the first major dungeon skip made possible by this glitch. It wasn't long before Regnetreis was able to recreate Valyssa's skip, and then I found that it had Endless Wall S&Q behavior (saving/load would drop Matthew out of bounds). Excellent work so far but we were too greedy to stop there.

  7. I (Plexa) jumped into the fray and took another look at bridges since they always seemed jank. With a little wiggling on a bridge near Ayuthay I clipped off the bridge and suddenly we had a significant sequence break that skipped all of Craggy Peak (Zodiac Clock). We attempted to replicate this trick on other bridges to no avail, but we were content for 12hours of work and we all went to sleep.
  8.  
  9. The next day Fulgor (@InazumaFulgur on Twitter) tweeted at me with a second bridge clip near Goma Highlands near the first clip. This was a significant moment - up to this point we had Valysseam / first Goma Clip / Bridge clip all kinda working by different mechanics, perhaps even unique mechanics. This was evidence that Bridge Clipping was more general than Ayuthay and that this game would be completely broken soon. Within moments of testing, we recreated the clip and found "the setup" to make it work. Over the course of the last week Me, Regnetreis, Valyssa, and Fulgur have essentially gone through breaking every bridge in the game.

  11. The significance of what we've done is immense, all four of us deserve equal credit for this madness. To recap, the group that has been integral to the breaking of this game are:
  12.  
  13. - Valyssa / Valyssa on Twitch, @valyssa0 on Twitter
  14. - Regnetreis / Regnetreis on Twitch, Twitter and Youtube or direct link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbfMmyJNu2JOW1xtnOJ0Tyw
  15. - Fulgur / @InazumaFulgur on Twitter
  16. - Plexa / TL_Plexa on Twitch, @TLPlexa on Twitter and Plexa18 on Youtube
