![]() ![]() There are also script commands, and code in other modules that similarly empty the party. After emptying a party, this function would simply shift the hero to the first position. In order to reorganize the party, a single function can be called that resides in the main executable, and is loaded at 0x80073894. It resides in /CDROM/140_HONP/PARTYCE1.BIN. The code below is responsible for emptying the Hero's party. Viktor's party, and Flik's party are both initialized with leaders in the first position, so they cannot be exploited. It is simply not called by the special module after emptying the Hero's party. ![]() There is a convenient function that does all this work. Normally, when even a single character is removed, the party is reorganized so that the front row is filled, and any empty spots are shifted to the back row. In this situation, where a special module must manage three parties, the bug is that the programmer assumed that no player in their right mind would form anything less than a full party to take on Luca, and they would certainly never let the Hero go alone. Unfortunately for Konami, during the events leading up to the Luca battle, a special version of the Party Change module is run that does not fully enforce this rule. Normally, this would not be an issue because the game will not allow you to place characters in the back row until the front row is filled. Luca uses a short-range weapon, and all of his attacks must target the front row. When his party fights Luca, it will be impossible for him to attack (although he can counter), and the player can slowly whittle away Luca's health without any real danger. The formation menu will appear, and the hero will be alone in the party and in the back row. When selecting the hero's party, do not add or remove anyone. After forming the party, return to Shu and continue the events. Other than that, it does not matter who is used, as the event will purge them anyway. The party should be formed without using Viktor or Flik (Viktor should not be available anyway). Once there, form a party with the hero in the leftmost spot in the back row (position 4). ![]() In order to exploit the bug, the player must delay selecting these parties, and instead go to Leona in the tavern. After choosing to deploy, the player will have to select members for three parties, one led by the Hero, one by Viktor, and the last led by Flik. The next event will involve setting up an ambush for Luca Blight. After the Major Battle with Luca's army, the party is automatically emptied, and the Hero is placed in his customary spot, leftmost in the front row. ![]()
