Description

Infinite Hover Long Jump, Infinite Wall-runs & Wall Launches in NG4. I only just got this game so no idea if any of this is known.

Points of interest:
0:00 – Showing that the game caps your regular wall-run to one run.

0:07 – 0:55 - The game has an air-dash – that when done against certain walls, automatically transitions in an Alternate Wall-run. This Alternate Wall-run does not have a cap (truly infinite?) at some collisions, you have to often reset it by repeatedly air-dashing against certain collisions.

0:55 – 1:31 - Air-dashing against some collisions can also let you bypass the caps on some attacks, letting you do multiple launches at some collisions and go out-of-bounds.

1:31 – 2:56 - Albeit slow, switching weapons while airborne in Bloodraven Form lets you hover horizontally infinitely. This is probably best used for scouting for out-of-bounds skips, and learning about the level design, due to how slow the technique is. As a Glitcher its appreciated as a glitching tool, at least.

Edit: I later played on after doing this large skip -- and although everything loaded like normal, the level did not complete properly after defeating the boss. My theory is that this game does not allow you to skip checkpoints, but you can skip the sections in-between the checkpoints.

2:56 – For the sake of science I did an Infinite Hover over a battle trigger, but so far doing this makes the level unwinnable.

3:33 – The rest of the video is out-of-bounds sightseeing, trying to skip anything significant here makes the level unwinnable at the date of this upload.
