Hey y’all! Thanks for watching! For clarification, this is a video about a neat little interaction that’s possible using some geometry in the game. Not every modern game can be broken like this, so I find it very interesting. Not meant to be taken as a serious warning that this is something you should be worried about while you’re playing. Also, I’m fully aware that cheats exist, but thank you for the advice lmao.

Clarification on hardlock vs softlock; A hardlock stops the game from running, a softlock means the game runs but its no longer in a playable state. This is a demonstration of a softlock, where the game can not be advanced but you can still technically enter the save file and move around without being able to meaningfully progress the file. A hardlock would be trying to do something and the game fatals every time, like if there was a bug where if you logged out inside a boss arena and then when you logged back into that file the game forcefully closed itself, that would be a hardlock. A softlock can often be reproduced by following steps in game, sometimes to figure out why a hardlock is occuring you need to use crash reports or dumps created by the process because whatever has the game tripping up might not be directly tied to the steps that led you to the crash, its not easily reproduced.

My understanding of soft lock vs hard lock, is that a soft lock makes it so you can no longer progress in a game file (like these bucket traps), while a hard lock just stops the game from running, and requires you to do a full reset of the game in order to continue playing at all, i.e. if the game just completely freezes and stops responding.

@@Ixxlostinabox wrong. hardlock is when the game crashes, forcing a reload or a reset. a softlock is when the game still works, but you have "locked yourself out" of progressing the game. here's an example: skyrim on ps3 has a hardlock caused by a save file getting to big, it becomes unable to load, and just keeps trying to load infinitely until you reset the console. this is a hardlock that bricks your game. in Morrowind, you can kill npcs that are vital for progression. or get a bounty to be higher than 2k. in either case, you are unable to progress NORMALLY. you can still beat the game, but it requires some really "out there" thinking. in daggerfall, if you wait more than a month to contact the envoy, he will leave, and the game is PERMANENTLY unfinishable. that's ALSO a soft lock. because you can still "play" the game, and interact with MOST of its aspects, BUT the main story is no longer able to be completed. in daggerfall, you get the ability to teleport to dungeons, some of those teleports will just crash the game. because they will teleport you to somewhere the game engine cant handle. that's a HARDLOCK. but you can still reload a savefile and continue.

Alt+F4 in general or whilst reload can get rid of the trapped effect that forbids fast travel. Also task-managering whilst loading or reloading the map can set your location to some sort of "default spawnpoint" in that "sector" of the genuine area. It s how the Farum Azula Skip works. You go to 4 Belfries and travel to farum Azula via the warpgate. It will drop you on that overlook ruin where you look down to Crumbling Farum Azula. With that part of the map loaded you can travel back to belfries and reenter the portal that takes you to the lookout site of Azula again. But when the loading screen is above 60% and underneath 85% - where it s usually sticking before quickly stuttering up, you want to alt F4 or end-task the game. If you did it correctly you will spawn in Crumbling Farum Azula starting site where the game only takes you after beating Firegiant. There was one that worked similarly in Lyendell to skip Draconic Tree Sentinel but it got patched as "impossible". Saying that, I still got it to work once after like 2 tries to show off my "crazy speedrunner tactics" to my friend but never again after. I was trying out a new build, on my like 12th or 16th playthrough). I leave each of them around lvl 120 up to underneath lvl 200 and was mostly caring about the ressources to throw together my character as fast as possible. Watching a new speedrun clip really helped me out on catching up on stuff since I was really bad at zip glitching. (Which is another way out of anything btw, but I personally could never really make it work xD ) However if you dont play some sort of spiral mage build like me you can just play through the game normally. It s way faster and linear whilst showering you with runes that I would require dragon cheese for.

Speaking of the DLC, I ended up nuking my own save file. I took the back entrance to the Shadow Keep, drained the water, entered the Specimen Storehouse proper, all without resting or dying. Then continued clearing the storehouse up and down and all around still without dying or resting. I did notice something was wrong when Freyja was just standing as if she were attacked instead of in her usual animation of rummaging through the books. I spoke to Freyja and Ansbach up until I needed to reload the area for Ansbach to give me the letter to Freyja. So instead of finally resting, i saved and quit to keep everything dead. When I loaded back in, the game would crash before the text "Specimen Storehouse" could fully fade in. And this crash was inescapable, it happened every time I lpaded my character. My best guess is it was a combination of taking the most butt-backwards way to get in there, plus killing so many enemies and placing so many rainbow stones that the game could not handle loading everything back as it was when I saved and quit and reload! Luckily I had a backup to restore to... even if it was 5 hours behind!

What softlocking and hardlocking means really depends on who you ask Some people (like me) are used to softlocking being used to refer to a state where you're stuck but a reset will fix it, and hardlocking meaning you're permanently stuck and need to make a new save For others a softlock means that you're permanently stuck and can't get out, and a hardlock means that you can't even access your save anymore or that the game crashed (which referring to a game crash as a hardlock makes zero sense, it's just a game crash unless you somehow manage to get in a state where the game will always crash) I prefer the first set of definitions since both share the same "you're stuck" part but there's an actual difference, softlock being recoverable and hardlock being unrecoverable. It's also more oftenly used with that definition

Invaders may also be able to help in those playing vanilla.. for once besides farming them for runes/souls/gold and a crystal/estus/crimson tear flask refill

So... softlocking your game on purpose via a set of very specific glitches actually softlocks the game? Who could have guessed...

My first thought is to use a duel sign to get someone to take you out for you so you can respawn. I don't know if group passwords work with duel signs but if they do if you have a friend that seems like one way out of it.

Maybe saying you don't know the difference between soft lock and hard lock was a bait for engagement but if it was you beat me. Anyways, this would be a soft lock. Soft lock is when you get stuck in a position where the game is still running, but you can't progress any further because of some glitch. A hard lock on the other hand is a situation where the game literally freezes, pretty uncommon in modern games, but a hard lock would be the kind of situation where you need to turn off your console or force quit the game to even be able to start playing again.

This actually happened to my original character, I went into another NG+ cycle to prep for the DLC release, fought radahn, and upon spawning back in from the cutscene my character was stuck on some of the weapons in the arena. Couldn't destroy them, couldn't jump out, and wasn't allowed any form of teleportation out. quit and re-open did nothing. After a lot of despair that my original release day character might be soft-locked I remembered one final option, and shot at blaidd with my crossbow, he killed me, respawned at the site of grace right next to him that I hadn't even activated yet, then I ran away until he de-aggroed and went to the turtle for forgiveness. It was genuinely wild. Edit: I made this comment before watching the video, I got trapped in radahns arena, not by this complex series of events. Unfortunately I didn't have any items in my inventory with which to end my own character, so Blaidd was the only option. But genuinely, turns out you can get stuck exiting radahns cutscene if you're standing on certain piles of weapons on the ground.

A hard lock is what we generally refer to as "freezing". Essentially, the entire game locks up, nothing works or very few things. Usually the only way to fix this is to either shut out the program entirely or turn off the system. A softlock is when yoy still gave mostly proper functioning, like abive where you can still run around snd use items and nenus as normal. But youre still locked, and cant do anything really.

The solution is to always just carry an emergency "Thiollier's Concoction" which has absolutely zero use case other than instantly killing your character, so you'll never accidentally not have it like other damaging consumables of ashes of war. Edit: Or if possible use Taunter's Tongue which you SHOULD have in any normal playthrough which can summon invaders to kill you.

A "hardlock" is generally more akin to something thay causes the game to just be, unplayable. Say for example if Torrent takes fall damage and that freezes the game, that would be a hardlock. A "softlock" is defined as "you are able to play the game but you are unable to make progress". These buckets would be softlocks. Sure you can play the game, you can launch it, move around, and exit the game normally, but you cant make any progress.

There is an other bucket... But much larger.. Placidusax's arena. If you progress with the story, get to farum azula and manage to kill the godskin duo and head straight to Placidusax's arena and kill him without dying and touching any grace on the way, then sitting at the arena's grace, you won't be able to get to Malekith and finish the story

Softlocks are either temporary in nature or fixable by mundane means like quitting out etc. Hardlocks are completely irreversible *most of the time* and require cheating to fix IE warping or noclipping with CE.

I imagine just about any player will have a couple of items on them that can be used to damage yourself - either a sword with Bloody Slash or some of the pot bombs. Pot bombs can even be crafted while stuck if you don't have them prepared.

I'm guessing that's also the same debuff of when you agree to help Ranni. And then the game goes weird and puts invisible walls around you and doesn't let you teleport or do anything until you've unpacked a bunch of dialogue from her and her buddies.

This was easy to do when all consoles had a disc tray. I used to insert a ham sandwich into my disc tray whenever I wanted to destroy my console. It does nothing to the game file though, I just couldn't play anymore. Then they came up with the cloud save where I could play that save file on PC and it ruined everything.
