23)Glitches

Discover and fix common glitches in Valkyrie Elysium, including game locks, audio bugs, and animation issues. Learn how to prevent them and ensure smooth gameplay.

This guide details various glitches and bugs found in Valkyrie Elysium, along with potential workarounds or preventative measures.

Specific Glitches and Issues:

1. Lyseria Transfer: If Lyseria is transferred, she is permanently lost and cannot be recovered in Jotunheim Palace or the Seraphic Gate.
2. Party Lock-up: If Valkyrie is the sole party member, the game may freeze when an enemy uses Great Magic or when Valkyrie uses her PWS with a bow equipped. This can be prevented by having at least one other character in the party, even if they fall in battle.
3. Hrist Fight Lock-up: During the fight against Hrist with Brahms, Arngrim, Mystina, and Lezard, the game can freeze if Mystina attempts to cast Great Magic.
4. Gandar Recruitment Text Lock-up: Attempting to rewind the text during Gandar's recruitment scene by pressing the L buttons will cause the game to freeze.
5. Post-Battle Freezes: The game may occasionally freeze after a battle concludes. This is rare but seems more common in Brahms Castle and the initial area of the Seraphic Gate.
6. Audio Buzzing: A loud buzzing sound may occur over the regular audio. The only solution is to save the game and reset the PlayStation.
7. Character Voice Sample Issues: Characters might have delayed PWS voice samples or play all their voice samples consecutively. This is most frequent with Grey and Janus.
8. Citadel of Flame Ceiling Glitch: In the Citadel of Flame, players can get stuck in the ceiling if hit by fireballs while opening a chest in the first room.
9. Citadel of Flame Enemy Poisoning: In the Citadel of Flame, attacks (excluding Janus') may sometimes poison enemies.
10. Bow Attack Animation Glitch: When Valkyrie performs bow attacks at very close range to an enemy, a peculiar pillar of fire animation appears instead of the standard one.
11. Concentration Skill Malfunction: The Concentration skill does not function as intended. It is supposed to reduce CT to 2 after using a PWS, but the results vary by spell:
    • Fire Storm: Reduces CT from 5 to 2.
    • Fire Lance: Reduces CT from 5 to 3.
    • Stone Torch: Reduces CT from 5 to 3.
    • Poison Blow: Reduces CT from 5 to 3.
    • Prismatic Missile: No change (10 to 10).
    • Lighting Bolt: No change (9 to 9).
    • Dark Savior: Reduces CT from 5 to 3.
    • Shadow Servant: No change (5 to 5).
    • Frigid Damsel: No change (5 to 5).
    • Icicle Edge: No change (5 to 5).
    • Sacred Javelin: Reduces CT from 5 to 3.
    • Mystic Cross: No change (6 to 6).
