YouTuber BOB_BestOfBugs, however, realized that there’s nothing stopping you from putting a Netherstone into a container like a crate or a sack (crucial to the Shadowboxing speedrun tech) and then getting rid of that container. I was able to replicate the trick in my own game, but curiously I only got the game over on losing my second Netherstone⁠, so watch out for potentially soft locking yourself here.

What follows is the most luxurious sort of “you messed up, big time” scene you could possibly ask for, shades of firing a mining laser that wipes out all of humanity in System Shock and its remake.

    That ending scene is used in at least one other circumstance:

    if you kill the emperor at the start of Act 3 inside the astral prism

    It’s probably just a generic scene for miscellaneous unwinnable game states.

      Your spoiler tag isn’t spoiler tagged.

      Also I saw that cutscenes once before making it as far as you describe, I don’t even remember how, pretty sure it was midway through act 2. But it’s definitely a semi generic cutscene for when you lose in a particular type of way.
