The fact you can just activate the debug menu from the regular game. I don’t think level 5 expected people to go this far with their masterpiece of a game.
I'm a non-speedrunner looking for interesting vids about the RPGs I'm playing and this has been a great find for Dark Cloud 2. Very nicely edited, and I laughed at the sheer lunacy of the exploits going on. Thanks for making!
Frickin from acefrog having like an 8 hour run, to closetowar grinding out countless runs to get like 5 hours, and now you achieving the dream of 1 hour. Great job!!
Important to note the game can not be reloaded from a save to keep using debug mode and triangle resets all the glitchy stuff in debug mode and Unlocks all guest characters
Any%, Plat%, and All Medals have Monica fight the longest against Dark Element. No Debug literally kills in 1 hit with Monica, and NMG uses Max instead. Plat% and All Medals has to build up Monica anyways, and the strat is the same here except the weapons are built up normally and do about half the damage. I think she's considered the stronger of the two in those runs because her fast 5 hit swords do amazing damage until Chapter 8.
Love seeing my childhood get broken like this. Recently started playing this game again on the PS5, forgot why I never completed it 100% as a kid until I got to spheda and it hit me immediately. XD
There's Any% No Major Glitches which uses all the smaller glitches that save very little time. Otherwise, the run hasn't been completely glitchless in years.
You can also turn the camera at an angle and since you’re technically diagonal as you say. You run fast too Like going down dungeon hallways or the stupid race
Not true, the PS2 can't handle certain glitches because it crashes for whatever reason while an emulator can, and unlocking the debug menu is just one of a few examples of the PS2 version crashing while emu/PS4 is fine. The PS4 version even has the same visual glitches as PCSX2, so the PS4 is likely not even backwards compatible, it's just running an emulator to play the game.
I activated debug mode! is it recommended to save the game like this though? and once you restart game, the debug mode is no longer there. how do you get it back?
I wouldn't save the game with it, there's ways to corrupt the game so badly it deletes your saves. You have to redo the glitch every time to get debug mode back, so you can't really close the game.
@@Qazplm yeah that's what I was thinking too. But I activated it and tried some features haha it was fun it's pretty cool that this feature is in the game, this is insane that you figured this out man i can't even imagine how you did it
You mean when starting a new game? You can change Monicas outfit there if you finished main story line and start a new game, you have access to the outfits of your previous game.

this video gave me 4 headaches well done

That... melted my brain... I'd rather just play the game normally, it's worth not skipping ;)
This video made me wonder how god would feel if someone broke reality this hard.
This guide is fucking INSANE lmao your doing God's work out here
you're*

Thanks! Gotta give credit to Glitch King for finding the wrong warp in the first place. All I did was route it 😂
Max:I equip this bread as weapon!
Monica:Why?
Max:Because I must!
My head hurts. Wonderful tutorial.
I would love for this game to become popular somehow in a speedrunning scene or something cool
Same. Just a shame that the speedrun without wrong warping is so long and repetitive 😢
this is crazy! i had no idea this was even possible and I played this game on PS2 back in the day.
This is so fascinating even though I have no idea what's going on

Don't forget about the "Oh Button".
Or as the smart folk call it "The Circle Button."
i am not a speedrunner but i love this game, i laughed way too hard at 15:44. this video is a fantastic resource thank you.
Thanks, I'm glad you had a good laugh from it!
Whenever I played this game as a kid, Monica was always the best character, I always used her to grind ABS to max out my stats.
Is there a category where she gets to do more than 2 hit the final boss?
Any%, Plat%, and All Medals have Monica fight the longest against Dark Element. No Debug literally kills in 1 hit with Monica, and NMG uses Max instead. Plat% and All Medals has to build up Monica anyways, and the strat is the same here except the weapons are built up normally and do about half the damage.

this game is so beautiful... i just want to play it again... that's how you know a game is good..
My favorite game of all time - did NOT expect this to be the any% speed run! Is there a run that’s nearly glitchless other than no debug?
There's Any% No Major Glitches which uses all the smaller glitches that save very little time. Otherwise, the run hasn't been completely glitchless in years.
dark cloud 2 is inferior to the first game in every way
@@oglostingamingi like both
I'm just going to play the game
I love the Dark Cloud games. Taking a break from Elden Ring to play them again. Keep it up man you will get more subs. Much love and Praise the Sun!
Very informative vid, respect, I loveee this game growing up and still do
Jesus christ how the fuck do people find these glitches.....
Wish I knew the answer to that 🤣
i have no clue how people figure this out. it just seems way to random and specific to pull off.
very interesting, nice explained
this isnt speedrunning, this is programming

This is one of my favourite PS2 game.
If only the monster transformation had more time to cook then it would be my number 1 for sure.
Oh yeah, absolutely. Monster transformation is just sad.
WE LIKE DARK CLOUD 2 WE LIKE DARK CLOUD 2
How people find this, I do not know, but it sure was impressive to reach debug mode.
Now warp to the true final boss
Where can i get the list of ids for items i cant find it anywhere online
Here's a spreadsheet of all the item IDs docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dl8XJJyg3Di_VXWZ2-bcfo2VpisOvmjKUtVZYCTHI5I/edit#gid=0
Thank my man
if it works on ps4 it works on ps2. it's not a port. it's just backwards compatible
Not true, the PS2 can't handle certain glitches because it crashes for whatever reason while an emulator can, and unlocking the debug menu is just one of a few examples of the PS2 version crashing while emu/PS4 is fine.

@@JackAdams0 Nah, Glitchking's the one who found the glitch. I only found a few extra ways to use some of the glitches.
@@Qazplm definitely some of the craziest glitches i've seen in video games ever period
Bro. WHAT.
Just some totally normal DC2 gameplay 😁
Wait, what do you only pick Monica's outfit? You only choose Max's outfit.
You mean when starting a new game? You can change Monicas outfit there if you finished main story line and start a new game, you have access to the outfits of your previous game.
Wow
I'm better than you at this game without question Qaz. Speedrun, anything.
Smh
I loved this game as a kid but as an adult wowwww the story is beyond cliche lame every villian has a good guy back story and everything is clunky
