Dark Cloud 2 (NTSC-U) Major Glitch - Unlocking Zelmite Mine In Chapter 2

SEIZURE WARNING at 14:45
This video assumes you're familiar with making Type-0 Equipment and the capabilities of equipping anything. If you're not, please watch the videos linked below first.
Making Type-0 Equipment:
• Dark Cloud 2 Glitch - ...
Capabilities of equipping anything (Skip to 10:53):
• Dark Cloud 2 Glitch - ...
It took quite a while, but we now have a major skip glitch in BOTH games!
This skip combines the capabilities of equipping anything with a new glitch that I'll call the "Item Menu Overflow". Every time you open the item menu without unpausing or moving the cursor to Character or Help, the menu will load 2048 bytes farther in memory.
By having Max equipped with only a loaf of bread as an outfit and opening the item menu 587 times in a row while not in a dungeon, equipping a pair of Wing Shoes at that point will unlock Zelmite Mine along with corrupting other stats such as the chapter you're on, and how many in-game days long the adventure is. This setup only works on the NTSC-U version.
The overflow glitch is still being tested, so I don't know when I'll have another video about it. So far, nearly every capability of the overflow glitch I've seen crashes the game on console, this skip is a lucky exception.

I'm laughing at myself just imagining this whole absurd process get animated. Max putting his shoe on his left hand, Monica wearing metal scrap, throwing the wrench at the Ridepod, then Max checking his backpack over 500 times in a row while Monica just sits there.

The amount of dedication you have for these games is insane. Thank you poke

[@mattwestwood9730]

Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle is my favourite game of all time. It makes me happy that someone is still doing what you do, I don’t know how you figure half of this stuff out but it’s fascinating & in a way it keeps this game alive. Thank you.

[@ShinxCookie]

I never imagined this game was so broken. This is so neat cool.

[@DarkCloudCompendium]

Wow that's so amazing! This glitch is such an awesome find! Much love buddy! 🌟✌

[@Tryagainwithadifferentname123]

I don't see many dark cloud channels out there, it is a shame in my opinion. But when I see you it makes me glad that some exist.

[@JackAdams0]

you are the king of glitches. i don't even know how you find these things man

[@ForgottenDawn]

It's one of my all-time favorite childhood games and this level of glitchy weirdness is leaving me gobsmacked. The best I could do was exploiting the Lure Rod glitch for cash. This is surgical glitching, lol. I'm legitimately curious to see what other strange circumstances can be set up in this game.

[@petermarkowski8590]

I saw your videos just a few weeks ago and thought to myself, "This guy is gonna cut the speedrun in half."

[@keyblader1985]

Oh snap; new glitches?? You're an absolute madman.

[@Kenzamaka]

I saw this in my feed and literally said "what" aloud

[@Qazplm]

Nice find! Not sure how I feel about opening a menu exactly 587 times in a speedrun, but glad that the game's probably beatable in under 2 hours now! Also not sure if you know of this method, but for the powerful weapon, personally I like using the name-change ticket method you mentioned before. Instead of manually getting the beast stat up though, I just use Monica's slot to glitch w/e weapon I want onto a Battle Wrench and then rename it. Cuts out the need for all the extra spectrumizing. (Though the speedrun just abuses the hell out of Name Change Tickets for all the gatekey duping now, so I might just be biased).

[@M4XD4B0ZZ]

Love it! Your a legend

[@LordAbsurdum]

Amazing! You do so much for the small Dark Cloud community! Now we only need to find sequence breaks like this to get into chapter 7 asap. As chapter 8 is optional, and I don't think this could be used in a speedrun, right?

[@ALTHiR]

Holy shit.

[@KazumiTheAwesome]

Back at it again!

[@Trevoorheees]

How do you do it. over all these years you keep finding more and more glitches in Dark cloud 1 and 2. It would be really cool if you made a video talking about your process of finding these( I dont mean a video telling us how to do the glitches, but how you find them) and your initial motivation to get into Dark Cloud!

[@SupaCLUCK]

I saw your profile and old videos and assumed you had quit at least 10 years ago, boy was I wrong!

[@miscellaneouscrux]

I knew you could do it.

[@theinfinitecrafter]

How do you discover these things?!

[@Dinolfos]

I've been wondering something, in Dark Cloud 2, does turning into a Gemron make you go faster than normal walking in dungeons?

[@MinervaNeuhart]

I don't believe so.

[@penguindragonts5152]

one of life's great mysteries. I feel like it does. 🐧🐉

[@Vinex3431]

you live

[@RestrictedTWO]

Skiller, is that you? :P

[@mitchellbennett7286]

So, I've watched this dozens of times now and I can't for the life of me get the anything equipped rolling. I think I'm just misreading the instructions up top. Any chance the steps to creating a strong weapon in this video could be put into a purely text format?

[@tetsero]

Did you happen to check out his video from 10 months and 6 months ago? The one from 6 months is required to get this down.

[@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441]

imagine getting killed by the weakest pistol in the game lmao

[@SeEpiNIncoherentRambling]

I got 91,466 as the 587th opening

[@NobodyThatsIt]

How long does the setup take? 2nd question is would this be possible to be used in speedruns too get faster any% times?

[@tetsero]

For the time, possibly. It depends if they accept chapter 8 credits or not.

[@NobodyThatsIt]

A other question what would happen if you bring overpowered glitch weapons too Linda?

[@MinervaNeuhart]

@@NobodyThatsIt Linda's immunity to your normal attacks doesn't just come from a simple high defense stat. She's just straight up immune to everything but the ridepod.
