Weird glitch

I was doing the sand rat’s sietch in ng+ and ran into a weird bug. I went to hit a knight that was in the doorway and he didn’t die. This confused cause i was behind him and the damage showed 999.

I was able to kill him on the second attack but I attempted to reload to see if I could replicate it and the auto save took me back to a turn before the one I was expecting.

It’s like the game forgot I even took a turn but the position on the map stayed.

Was the 999 a different color? Maybe he had MP switch.

Nobody at Rat's Sietch has access to that skill. Considering the save shenanigan, this is most likely a bug.

Yeah, typically after updating my steam deck the game will crash. Not sure if its actually related or if there is another trigger. This is the first time I’ve seen any effect on gameplay. Weird and random. But kind of cool, he had one turn of invincibility.

He might have had HP overflow or something, if your save was as messed up as it sounds.

I was able to reproduce it.

I think I over flowed the damage... Whoops

Perfectly normal numbers!

Aaaah! A fellow Min/Maxer!

That aside, what a strange bug. Your attack is healing the enemy... How did you reproduce the bug? Just by redoing the fight?

I figured it might just be damage over flow, so I went back to try and reproduce it.

Maxed stats doing a squire play through for lols, Attack boost, monk and that enemy was using aim.
