Graveyard Crypt Sign Bug#
During the portion of the game where Fiona has access to the Old Mansion (possible in both Daniella and Riccardo's segments), the sign in front of the crypt area has interesting properties that no other observable object in the game has: Normally, when Fiona is interacting with an object or item that places text on the screen, stalkers will be unable to begin chasing Fiona until the text is closed (in addition, Fiona cannot interact with these objects if she is actively being chased). The crypt sign is the sole exception of this (likely due the way its text is formatted differently), as keeping the text on screen still allows stalkers to enter the room and be stuck in an endless loop of attempting to attack Fiona. Although Fiona is still able to put into panic mode in this state, all of the stalker's attacks will miss, making her unable to be killed. This will continue until the player stops reading the sign, which will cause the game to return back to normal.
Defeat Old Lorenzo Early#
A bug can occur in the House of Truth area near the beginning involving the puzzle where Fiona must trick old Lorenzo into being temporarily defeated by explosives. If a Luminescent enemy is brought to the spot where Lorenzo is usually meant to be for the puzzle, the game will assume the Luminescent is actually Lorenzo and will proceed to play the corresponding cutscene that would normally play. This bug can also be triggered by kicking a certain door to disable the area's background music, which causes the game to think that Lorenzo is currently chasing Fiona. A consequence of this glitch is that old Lorenzo will be completely gone for the rest of the game, and will be invisible in any cutscenes that normally contain his model. Although he still won't be present for his boss battle, the game will interestingly not softlock, allowing Fiona to go through the door without using the key that is normally given when defeating him. The game will still continue once Fiona has encountered Lorenzo's younger form, though there will be a small visual bug whenever Hewie attacks him (for some reason the game still thinks that young Lorenzo is Riccardo, so Hewie will use the wrong set of attack animations on him).
