10 Horrifying Video Game Truths You Never Noticed
1. Ollie Bulb Only Attacks In Self-Defense - Cuphead
Cuphead revels in the fact that it's one of the most visually stunning video games of the prior generation, its adorable, vintage art style juxtaposed against the fact it's a brutally difficult boss rush platformer.
And while the game's high degree of challenge forces players into a hyper-aggressive mindset, there is actually a secret way to spare one of the game's more timid boss characters.
During the opening battle against the Root Pack, the second of the three enemies is Ollie Bulb, a sentient, cherub-cheeked onion who most players will immediately take to putting a major hurting on.
Except, the game's 1.2 update altered the fight so that Ollie actually has no beef with Cuphead at all and will only attack in self-dense.
And so, if you simply refuse to attack him, he'll smile at you and disappear back into the ground within 10 seconds, with Horace Radiche - who was a concept character that didn't make it into the original launch version of the game - being tagged in as a replacement.
Basically, you probably murdered that adorable onion for no reason at all. How bad do you feel?
