Basic Information

To begin Dan Koyster made a video to showcase this exploit - Ladder Cancel Warping


  • Standing near a ladder; start an action (e.g. Vial heal, Gunshot, L1 weapon transform etc…) that doesn't require a confirmation, then quickly tap X to start the 'climb on to ladder' animation.
  • The ladder climb will fail but the game thinks you are on the ladder. This means that your location in the game is no longer tracked as it isn't tracked while on a ladder normally.
  • You can use this glitch to quitout and reload back at the ladder despite running across the map.

Some useful examples for speedrunning purposes:
  • After Amelia: Healing Church Workshop to Vicar Amelia, warp before Forbidden Woods
  • Amelia Skip route: Sewer Skip to Cleric Beast, warp before Father Gascoigne

Summary:
  • Start an action, then immediately press X at a ladder.
  • You get pulled towards the ladder but the action cancels the ladder climb.
  • The next time you quitout and reload the game you respawn at the ladder.

Considerations:
  • You can perform this glitch at both the top and bottom of ladders.
  • You cannot use items directly from inventory, or from Personal Effects whilst in the glitched state. You can however equip and use items from Quick Items as normal.
  • If you die your bloodstain will appear at the ladder.
  • Cancelling the ladder climb at multiple ladders will save your location at the last cancelled ladder, -with the exception of ladder cancelling at the top of 2 different ladders without climbing in between; in which case you will warp to the top of the 1st ladder upon reloading the game.

Actions for ladder cancel:
  • Start an action, then immediately press X at a ladder.
  • Blood vials heal
  • Gunshot
  • Consumables (except those with a confirmation box)
  • Confused animation due to empty item slot or unavailable items
  • Any attack, including L1 transform
  • Weapon switching animation (D-Pad left & right)

What won't undo the glitch:
  • Start an action, then immediately press X at a ladder.
  • Cutscenes
  • Black screens (e.g. Yahar'Gul bath warping)
  • Crossing map regions

What will undo the glitch:
  • Start an action, then immediately press X at a ladder.
  • Climbing a ladder
  • Any loading screens
