[Secret] Bribe glitch

Post by iDa »

Hi everyone.

I've seen this glitch and looked around and it seems it hasn't been mentioned. But I can always bribe every monster I fight against by clicking confirm twice before the "paid ---- potch" or "you failed to make a deal" message comes up. You can even use this to bribe bosses (it is considered that you beat the boss). It only works as long as you have the money though. So far I've used this on zombie dragon, neclord and some other bosses I forget.

Couldn't do this to avoid fighting with Anji to recruit him, must be pre-programmed with the if(bribe).

What in the world would a zombie dragon do with a bunch of potch?

Ask the question to the many many dragons in RPG, books or movies who are guarding huge piles of gold coins. ^^

Purely from my own dodgy memory, I recall that we don't get exp or money, just considered as "victory". But I could be wrong (though I don't think it'd make sense to bribe the boss with money and then get some money returned as reward for winning hhahaha)

Yes and so was "Run". It's just that its suppose to always fail ("but was Surrounded!!!", "You failed to make a deal..."). The options aren't available in II in boss fights though.

You don't get any EXP, gold or items, as soon as you glitch you come out of the battle. Kinda useful in beating hard bosses with little rewards or speedrunning I guess.

Wonder if it works on the psp version...

If that's the case then I can get around the neclord battle where you cant win?!

Must give that a try when I can.

:EDIT:

Yes this does work.

Ive gotten past neclord now with hix trying to be a hero :roll:

Least all those water rune pieces don't have to be wiped.

Opps is the outcome still the same after you use this trick? Meaning all the character fall onto the ground....? Just curious.

I just tried this trick. It is more like a glitch and not "Bribe". When you do this trick, you got throw out of battle immediately with no loss of money. No EXP or anything. And not even gaining gold from the battle. This trick is not worth it IMO.

I tried to Bribe Luc's Golem with 999,999 potch. Failed to make a deal. I'll try to keep track of what boss enemies can actually be bribed..

No boss enemy can be bribed normally, no matter how much potch you can offer.

The described trick avoids the barrier set by fixed encounters, and calculates the amount needed in order to bribe the enemy by multiplying the cash received from it with some factor.

ah, LOL i just tried it... so it does indeed work for probably any battle, as long as you have enough money. i was thinking you just have to Bribe and didn't read into it enough.... hahaha nice trick.
