In this riveting analysis by Gameranx, we delve into the world of gaming glitches that developers have ruthlessly eradicated. From the infamous dragon head glitch in the "Souls" series, allowing players to exploit item reuse, to the elusive goblin wars in "Elder Scrolls: Oblivion" that never quite materialized as intended, the gaming community has seen its fair share of unintended mechanics met with the swift hand of developers. And who could forget Missingno, the glitched Pokemon in "Pokemon Red and Blue," offering players a shortcut to duplicating items like rare candies for rapid leveling up?
Moving on to the small chainsaw exploit in "Dead Rising," where players could extend the durability of these powerful weapons through clever inventory management, to the ingenious reaper enemy exploit in "Persona 5" that allowed gamers to farm experience points with a simple weather trick, the gaming world is a treasure trove of glitches waiting to be uncovered. And let's not overlook the mantis legs exploit in "Fallout New Vegas," where players could reach max level in the tutorial town by collecting and transferring these seemingly insignificant items for massive XP gains.
But the exploits don't end there. "Starfield" introduced a vendor inventory glitch that savvy players could exploit to rob vendors blind, a harmless yet amusing trick that Bethesda swiftly patched out. And who could resist the temptation of turning Torrent into a flying mount in "Elden Ring," bypassing major bosses and areas with a clever glitch that defied gravity itself? Lastly, the ultra hand ability exploit in "Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" allowed players to transform floating objects into high-speed jets, pushing the game's physics to its limits in a thrilling display of creativity and mischief.
