Huh can I not post pictures in these or...

#

I gotta type all that up again 💀

#

When watching the VHS Tape, the video presents how you shoot the corner of the bars with Lightning, and get the Corrupt Key. So naturally, most players assume you use the Lightning spell on the corner to get the key.

That's not actually true. Most interactable objects like this are just enemies with health, and the corner object is no exception. So perhaps any sort of attack kills it.

Not so. If you hit the corner with the Replica Sword, neutral melee, it says "NO EFFECT", and a bugged key drops on the floor, likely due to a failed Pickup method being called for whatever reason.

#

You may think "Ah so its just it needs to be light element". Again not so. Firing in the corner with an Elven Bow, neutral ranged, gives you the key.

The final nail in the coffin is hitting the corner with Vampire Hunter Sword. It doesn't have the "NO EFFECT" but also drops the bugged item.

#

Likely there is some problem where the item drop is bugged in how it checks how it should be dropped and in what circumstance. atm any ranged attack suffices, and all melee attacks bug it.

#

Its fine, same point got across I think

#

Here's a picture as proof

#

That's the "Corrupt Key" item on the floor, after hitting the corner with the Vampire Hunter Sword.

for future reference thats because it was too long, if you have over 10 lines of text itll usually delete your message

Ahhh I gotcha.

#

I bet you that the "NO EFFECT" Text is still being presented for the bow, but getting the Corrupt Key trumps it.

#

I had to look into it because for the randomizer this is a rare but sometimes stated bug report, and I couldn't really see how it caused it, so I just turned off all the bepinex hooks and played the game vanilla to check and sure enough...
