NF91 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hello, Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I found no topic on the subject. Having played through the entire game many times over the years, I think there is a "bug" where you can get items you are not supposed to. At the pyramid (close to v12 endgame) when controlling Ren / Aelita, you can actually take the items off their pokemon (including a Life Orb, and 2 Assault Vests), and they will go to your inventory instead of theirs. If I remember correctly, this used to work for Melia before (when you played as her in the library), but as of v13, I believe only the pyramid one is still intact. Even though I use debug mode to make fresh playthroughs a little less time consuming, I still like to keep everything within the realms of possibility provided by the game. Should I just toss these items away? Has anyone else found this exploit? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzagod13 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I think it is unintended for sure, and the game is beatable without doing that even if you play on Set Mode with No Items. That being said some of those items are legitimately obtainable. For example, if you want a leftovers, you just need to find a boss with a leftover, then use thief, fling, recycle and you can keep the item. I suppose it is basically the same as using debug mode to change your IV/EVs since in both cases, it is just tedious busywork and the OP enemy exclusive items can be gotten in the same way.

Obviously they are not required. I was just wondering if this "exploit" was known, because it definitely felt unintended. 12 hours ago, pizzagod13 said: That being said some of those items are legitimately obtainable.

That would be news even for me... As far as I know (and that's what both the item guide and walkthrough suggest), leftovers can only be obtained by pickup, assault vest is unavailable, and the only copy of life orb should be from the Karen sidequest.

Item guide doesn't account for that, but from what other people have said it should still work. You just have to find a trainer that has the desired item. I have never tried it so maybe it is just one of those rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
