Sand whale glitch - still working?

[Hallowsend]

Can anyone confirm?

Glitch? What are you talking about, Sandwhale works exactly as intended. ;)

(For a more direct answer: Nothing about it has changed)

Thanks - I guess I'm doing it wrong. I watched two videos of people doing it but it never works for me. Are there any key features to make sure of to make it happen?

There are a few glitches with sandwhales:
1) Start of Unearthing the sun. When people go inside underground tunnels you can run left to get the laser. This triggers sandwhale which eats some people inside.
2) Dark bride near the turret. Sometimes when you stand to close to the left wall you get eaten.
3) Unearthing the sun, last part when someone goes down to activate the power, you can run in the desert and trigger a whale. When the cutscene ends and all players are down then this whale can eat some players.
4) Silent riddler, when you are in the narrow corridor towards the sphinx. When someone triggers a whale (while wall climbing) it can eat you inside the corridor.

These are the 4 I can think of right now.

I'm just interested in the glitch where the worm fails to eat you, despite being off-perimeter. It would come in particularly helpful for the last level, letting you walk right round the canyon instead of through it. There's a guy doing it here but I can't seem to make it work myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_eOsuxW3LU

stop cheatin to get achievements

I bloody hate that glitch. I fought through hell, and back, then back through hell to get it, and some just decide to avoid the fun challenge and glitch out the game.

Seriously, no Serious player would do that, only filthy casuals...

More like filthy speedrunners and cheaters. "Casuals" aren't filthy just because they don't have enough time to play games all the time, due to... dunno having a job or family.

I'm a casual too, since I only play here and there and only on easy, but that doesn't mean that I can't be a modder to a game or that I speedrun through the level in coop.

if the developers didn't want you using that shortcut then why did they put it there? ;D haha, nice video.

How you did it matters to you. Let anyone else do it however they like!

After all that, I thought I'd give the Queen H achievement a go normally - and did it first time! Some hairy moments and maybe a lot of luck considering I'd died plenty of times doing it on serious difficulty before when I was saving and playing normally. Good luck to others!
