Breaking Story Levels?

Archive: 59 posts


I see a lot of photos uploaded of people on the bare floor outside of story levels. Does anyone know how they do it?

I used to find it fun to break LBP1 story levels, and I would break the MGS Survival a lot, using the thecxmen level escape route.

So far, I've only broken two levels and they were both an accident. I broke "Final Test" by Da Vinci... It was the grappling hook part, and the grappling hook wouldn't appear. It got jammed in the floor while coming up.

I also broke "Pipe Dreams", by Clive, when the sackbot got stuck in the pipe at the end, during an unskippable cutscene forcing me to restart the level.

My lil bro "broke" the fireflies level from Eve's asylum. At one point there is supposed to be gas in all three layers but MM seemed to miss putting gas in the furthest layer. Coupling this with the fact that if you activate the switch trigger in the beginning of the level and get the creatinator that fires flying bounce pads, you can pretty much fly anywhere in the level. I'll post some pics if anybody's interested.2011-02-03 16:04:00

I tried breaking the two SplashCannon levels via the water creatinator glitch, but it didn't work. I wasn't even able to start flying.2011-02-03 17:50:00

My friend Kaboom and I broke the Sackbot Redemption level in Avalonia. No idea how, though!

It started when a sackbot got stuck in the ceiling after getting sucked into a tube. Later on in the level it happened again and while we were trying to pull it out of the wall, we were somehow able to fly THROUGH the ceiling and outside the level boundaries.

i broke brainy cakes, i was holding a cake, and i jumped off of a jump pad, just after the part with the spoons i believe, just below the highest roof, and i hit the second bounce pad, which is the one needed to get to the top roof, so that you can enter the oven, and if flipped off the roof, and got stuck, upside down, in a position that kept me from being able to fix it. So, i was like, " ... is that supposed to happen? i doubt it. " and i restarted the level, the random erson that joined me halfway through the level loling so much it should have broken his controller ( or his keyboard, whichever he was using. ) i also got stuck with a friend on another level, i believe it was pipe dreams,... or one of those, anyway, we were at the last pipe, we fell out, and we had collected all ten sackbots, ( or however man were supposed to be ) and one of them got lodged within the tube they were supposed to fall out of, and i couldn't move, and neither could my friend, and we had to restart.2011-02-03 23:05:00

I managed to fall onto the level floor of Where In The World is Avalon Centrifuge...I have no idea how, I think it was near the big robot part, and I let go while grappling, then somehow got behind the cardboard buildings in the thin layer, then just fell through and landed on the level floor. I ran around for a few minutes before realizing there wasn't anything down there lol2011-02-03 23:56:00

I broke the negitivatron. During the third stage of the fight, I got squished when it's head goes all the way down to the floor. Everything seemed normal but then I respawned inside the negitivatron's head while it was still on the floor. I heard my sackboy bouncing on bounce pads and saw flashes of light then the negitivatron was defeated for that stage of the fight! I didnt even hit it with one single cake! I don't know what happened but it was awesome. I saw three story levels break while I was playing solo and had to restart one of them. Other than that, the game worked great for me. I had alot of fun playing the story levels and the fun wont stop there. lbp rules!2011-02-04 01:54:00

I remember one time when I was trying to get ace of spades trophy. On Da vinci's first level (Forgot the name) when you have to get the prize bubbles to advance, I got the prizes when I jumped on a bounce Pad which made me fall through the floor and die >.<
Also on the same level, I somehow got squished when the platform with the bounce pads to get the higher prizes in the same area as the first part I died.

In 'WitWiAC?" I got fancy with the grappling hook at the very beginning and got a huge momentum boost when DaVincy flew the BumbleBee across the gap. I ended up flying all the way onto the platform where the pod lands that deploys the sackbots with positivitron beams. I laughed so hard, then restarted because I was trying to ace it 2011-02-04 22:25:00

Ah yeah!

Forgot a real cool one! It didn't really break the level, but it had me making a "O_e" face for a second.

In the first survival challenge, in Da Vinci's Workshop, just as the gates were opening, I hopped over and landed on the very edge of it. I stood there for a second, then the whole level above me turned into yellow "!" marks and then just plain vanished!

Y'know the pipe dreams middle finger easter egg, try it after you finish the puzzle, and it bypasses the filter. (not really breaking it, but whatever)2011-02-05 00:13:00

In the minigame level in the factory of a better tomorrow where you hold the heart and the sackbots above you follow it. You can throw your friend onto the layer that the sackbots walk on.2011-02-06 21:24:00

On "invasion of the body invaders" during the boss battle, I was playing coop with a friend. There was one White blood cell (projectile) and we were both trying to get it, then suddenly we saw it fly away through the level wall. We waited for a minute but no new cell spawned. Had to restart the level.

Yes I remember the "ace VR survival" glitch! Lol

Also in Avalon's camel level, the first time I played the camel's head never turned when it went down the lift. This made it really hard to shoot the meanies....

And finally in "flight of the bumblebees" once I died, I was continuously spawned behind Walls, with no chance of escape. Because of one death this used all my lives...

No idea how but there was several levels where I was just running through minding my own business and I fell out of the levels at odd corners. Not able to reproduce falling through when i go back to said areas. And it happened a few times while trying to ace which was annoying.2011-02-07 01:45:00

I managed to break "On Burrowed Time" once. At the last section right before the scoreboard, I somehow managed to break through the ceiling with my Hamstertron when using the boost and escape the level. Haven't managed to make it happen again since though. 2011-02-13 17:09:00

I don't remember the name of the level, but it's the one that starts with you blowing up Meanies in bomb towers, and the second part makes you control the RoboBunny.
I got stuck between one of the laser turrets and the floor when I was inside the bunny, and there was nothing I could do but to wriggle and wriggle. After a few minutes I managed to break free, and tried to continue the level. In vain. One of the rabbit's feet had come off. It was still beneath the laser turret and without the second foot the bunny couldn't use the Slam attack, so I had to restart. : (

HAH!

Finally got under a level.

I found out how to get under "The Cakeinator." Well, OneEyedBanshee, TheGavFather and Keanster helped.

First, TheGavFather and I found the first step. There's a wall you can grab if you get rid of your creatinator. (Go to the scoreboard, pop, then backtrack.) It's kinda of... Odd. It's the floor. You jump down a layer and grab at the same time, and you go through the floor.

http://i2.lbp.me/img/ft/60283268b9c23aaec6a34f1d8d29cb606d45adaf.jpg

Then if there's a second player, they can grab you, and then if you swing behind something, and they let go, they can fall through the level! Found that with Keanster and OneEyedBanshee. Keanster's the one that dropped me though.

Turns out, if you're missing some prizes, there are some COPIES of prize bubbles under there. A friend and I just did it, and he got 100% from some bubbles down there. Here's a photo of one of them.

http://ic.lbp.me/img/ft/b0cb73790857a79d9ae1ab9388634a3c84ad87f5.jpg

The weirdest thing you'll find down there is...

...
...
...

Larry Da Vinci. He's just standing there near a tractor beam-ish light. Staring at you menacingly. Keanster uploaded a photo of that. Maybe he'll post it here?

As well as that, there's some jelly, some platforms, and a random burning thing.

EDIT: I showed Fishrock, and according to him, most of that stuff's down there because Mm destroys the level once you get to a point where you can't backtrack past, to save on thermo. Seems plausible. I have a way to test it, to see for sure, and I'll try that later.

I'll get a better photo later then. Can't use the PS3 yet, my brother had a sleepover and now they're playing Worms 2. It was TheGavFather that took that one, just to upload it to the level for the lolz.

But if you really want to do it, I'll try to make a little step-by-step list.



Play "The Cakeinator" on multiplayer, with a cooperative friend
Get to the end of the level
Have one person touch the scoreboard, then pop
Then have them move away, and the other one does it too
Back track through the raining jelly
Get to the section with the scale
Have one person jump down a layer and grab at the same time
Have the other person jump down and grab the first player
Swing behind the scale and let go of eachother
One of you will drop through the floor, and land under the level
The one who stayed up there will die from the screen following the falling player
?????
PROFIT!

Here's me on the floor of "Full Metal Rabbit." I only took one pic, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. The debris from an enemy should be evidence enough.

It's actually quite a simple little trick to do this, you just need to hit it right....or wrong.

Did the controls on the controller still move when navigating the menus with that glitch? Like you know when the analogue sticks move, etc. If so that must have looked quite creepy. O.o

No. It was like a dual control thing. I if I pressed 'X' I would jump and also select something on the menu. The controls did not move.

I haven't necessarily broken any of the story levels to where you can see the bottom of the level and actually get out of it but I have broken a few where the story just stopped working forcing me to restart. I don't remember the name but it's the one in the last set of levels with Negativitron and it has a level link in it where you defeat the robot boss at the end. In the first part of the link, the sackbots that were supposed to follow and help me simply stopped following me and would not move on any further even though all of the enemies were dead. If I walked off the screen to where I couldn't see them they would simply disappear and a new group of them would spawn and do the same thing. I did the same sort of thing with one of the first levels where the hamster just stopped working in the middle of a challenge.2011-02-20 15:26:00

If this counts, I somehow managed to stop the ball entirely in Ping Pang Pong. It was going slow, then just eventually stopped and so the game couldn't continue at all. It was pretty impossible to take a photo of it for proof, since there was nothing to show it had actually stopped. So people are just going to probably have to take my word for it. 2011-02-20 18:45:00

Me and my friend were playing the survival challenge in The Factory of a Better Tomorrow where you have 4 bounce pads and can't let any sackbots fall, and one of the bounce pads broke so we were screwed >_<2011-02-20 19:16:00

On the last level, while playing with a friend, the game started to lag near the end. I spawned at the scoreboard about 2 seconds earlier than my friend and moved off the board before he spawned. Stranger still, A hamstertron 2000 appeared around me, yet not on my friend. Since it was low gravity, I could "fly" in my hamster, and my friend grabbed onto me. We found a load of random cakes and debris on the level floor, but then we went to the area for the thrid part of the boss battle. The boss was still alive and attacking imaginary sackboys, but I accidentally boosted off screen and my friend fell off, and I got killed for being offscreen, and he died from landing into some plasma near the boss. I never got to take any pictures , but I was looking at other uploaded photos for the same level, and saw another of someone beside a random cake.

Same happened to me, I entered the game using an invite someone sent me. They didn't seem to be online, so I started looking through the cool levels, then the screen flashed black and said that it couldn't connect to the player and then I was controlling it away from the controller.

Where in the World is Avalon Centrifuge: The first two jump pads that you use to bounce up onto the big robot's foot may not be glued down completely, I managed to break them both just by walking into them. They both flipped upside down and pinch-killed me in the process! Then I pushed them both into the fire and it was impossible to continue and I had to restart... grr.2011-02-27 01:03:00

This happened to me in a way in the beginning part of Full Metal Rabbit. When blowing up one of the meanie towers in front of some bounce pads it somehow resulted in the pads breaking entirely so I couldn't jump up to continue. Luckily it was at the beginning of the level so no big loss. Made me more careful on those sections afterwards though.

At least it's an easy win though if you're the game leader and winning the match. Just sit and tease your opponent as they stare at the ball. XD

We were tied when it happened and he was Game Leader. :/
We were trying to get him the 5 Story Versus Games pin anyway so it's all good

I don't have any pics, youll have to take my word, but today on the chicken level The CHICKEN broke the story level. Basically, somehow the chicken stepped on a sackbot, the chicken fell, hit a wall, his head went flying, I was still going, when all of the sudden a chicken head hits me and I fly out of the story level and I hit the level wall O_O. Awesome.2011-03-06 15:42:00

That's quite possibly the most random and epic sounding level break I've read in this thread.

Same happened to me, I entered the game using an invite someone sent me. They didn't seem to be online, so I started looking through the cool levels, then the screen flashed black and said that it couldn't connect to the player and then I was controlling it away from the controller.

You can get out of the main path in The Cakeinator by using it to climb any wall.
It works better with 2, 3, or 4 players stacking cakes.

I found a cool glitch in Fireflies When You're Having Fun.

Me and my friend used the back-layer gas glitch to get out, and then we ran all the way to the left of the level, where it got pitch black.
We popped ourselves, and we were back up again, but the level was now completely pitch black.

An opposite of this, we played it again, and then for some reason, the bit with the fireflies was lit up like day.

Wha?
