IIRC you actually can't get into the level looping state without cheats in this game. Each time you try to go oob, dante will start to stutter walk in place, and won't take another step in any direction. No worries, though - there's a glitch involving this effect, which you can use to skip stuff. Dante will freeze in place, weather you're on the ground or not and there's a single frame window of opportunity where you can jump out of this state. You can use this to ascend above normally accessible heights or to travel along the 'oob barrier'. Eg. you can skip basically the whole whitechapel level with this. There are a lot of level design errors which can be used to skip whole chunks of stages. Like in kensington you can maneuver from the train tracks to a balcony and, from there, drop down into the trigger which transports you into the house where you get the pocket watch - from there you can head straight towards the level's exit. Or in greenwich observatory you can skip the cutscene where the green little pesky enemy appears for the first time, by going up the roof right before the cutscene trigger and doing some tricky jumps above it - then with some dash jumps you can skip all the following puzzles and go straight for the finish line. I don't recall anything more than that - it's been a long time since I played this game. Also, I can't remember if kbd works in this one too. edit: I wasn't aware of the speed glitch. Couldn't it be used to skip most of the sewers (or was it time machine: sewers?)? Either way kbd is useless now, even if it still works.
I don't know about chalices, but it comes down to pure math anyway. Time the sections where you absolutely need to kill enemies with and without a different weapon than the standard sword, then time how much time getting this weapon takes. Add that up and you've got yourself an answer. Did you actually get into the looping state with normal game means?
There is a Medievil 2 Beta 0.51 version of the game, if you are interested, pm rawtalent, or write a post here: http://sirdanielfortesque.proboards.com/thread/542/medievil-2-beta-51-differences You can refer to me if he don't wants to give you the ISO, but I think he will send it to you, he's a nice guy :D Okay, I just wanted to show you these two things, if I find some other interesting stuff about the game, I will post it. Keep up the good work!
Please unembed your videos, as some pc may freeze (I didn't even try using mine). I also suggest putting the video title of each video next to the relative url. Great job btw, I'm now subscribing to your channel :D
