Redguard:Glitches/Tech

Between the UESP's existing article about glitches and the surge in glitch hunting research done through the Moist Redguard Speedrun Challenge, there are now tons of glitches in Redguard. The goal of this page is to compile technical and historical info for every glitch no matter how insignificant or obsolete it is.

This process involves documenting glitches that are common knowledge, finding old videos/info about long-forgotten glitches, and discovering new glitches.

Glitch Hunting

Full Article: Glitch Hunting

We have an ongoing project to discover new glitches through community collaboration. Theorized glitches and potential leads for solving how to perform those glitches are detailed in the full article. This project additionally explores the full potential of glitches that have already been discovered through proposed experiments to try out.

Glitches

Glitches fall under several different categories:

• Movement: Glitches that exploit Redguard's messy controls.
• Clipping: Glitches that result in the player moving out of bounds or moving through walls/obstacles.
• Hardware: Glitches that are specific to the hardware of a specific DOSBox configuration or physical copy of the game.
• Graphical: Visual glitches.
• Misc.: Glitches that fall under no clear category. This will be used less frequently as we organize the glitches further.

Glitch	Category	Description
Enemy Push Clip	Clipping	Standing with your back to a wall and spamming the sheath button while an enemy lunge attacks you will push you backwards through most walls and objects.
Sheath Glide	Clipping	Unsheathing your sword and then pressing and holding Sheath + Forward + Jump + Walk during the animation will buffer a fast forward glide that can clip through many objects, including some outdoor terrain.
Double Jump	Movement	You can jump again while already in the air.
