    Yeah, this games plays loose with monster ID. I remember trying hard to get a special (strength?) ring, only dropping from one monster. Welp, turns out it does NOT drop from that monster's 1st placement, only the much later 2nd. They are not really the same monster.

Just the highlights, and explanation of how and why for each glitch (and holy fuck, there's a lot of them) AND top it off with great humor. "Ah, Alucard, we meet again. Goddamn it, he left again".
