Pyramid Head hallway scene glitch #611

Closed OregonPacifist closed 2 years ago

So this glitch happened while I was playing the game on my livestream. It made for some funny moments so I'm not complaining too much. However, it made this part unpassable. I'm talking about the scene at the end of the hospital where Pyramid Head chases James and Maria. What happened is that Pyramid Head appeared to be moving at 2x speed, killing Maria with ease before the ending cutscene could be triggered.

I just tested on Hard Action, and the speed of RPT looks to be the same as what's seen in your stream. (On Hard Action, he'll thrust that spear anywhere between Insane Speed and Ludicrously Insane Speed.) Although it does appear that Maria on my tests took a few more hits than yours did before she died.

Dude you’re a legend for getting back to me so quickly. I thought the hard difficulty only increased the amount and strength of the enemies, not the speed of PH during this scene. I really appreciate your responses. Keep killing it!
