i'm still trying to get a really chaotic run of the dark souls 2 scrambler going without getting constant crashes, and in my attempt to do so i somehow created a version of dark souls 2 where the moment you load in a new game, a basilisk is in front of you, and will always do an attack that kills you. the starting armor's weight has been randomized such that you are so overburdened that you cannot run or dodge
if you die to this attack, that's it for this save file. every time you load back in, the enemy starts their attack the moment you gain control. you have to alt-f4 to get out of the constant loop of dying
the ONLY way to continue the game is to start a new game and begin unequipping your armor as fast as possible the moment you load into things betwixt. you have maybe 1 second to do this before you die
if you're particularly fast, you can run away and survive. if you're barely fast enough, you'll die to the attack immediately after removing the armor. once you respawn, you're able to run away from the attack and continue on
i thought i made it through the worst of it, but when i went to create my character, i heard a loud noise and suddenly saw the humanity restored banner in the background, immediately followed by YOU DIED. in the character creation menu??
following that, the game went to an infinite loading screen. i once again had to alt-f4 to continue. so i guess now i have to speedrun the character creation menu too
i am so excited to play more of this
