10 Ways Players Accidentally Broke Video Games
2. Losing Your Duster - Psychonauts
If you were one of the unlucky players to be graced with a bug that meant you lost your Cobweb Duster, you likely didn't consider it a big deal at the time. You won't be able to get all the collectibles, but not everyone wants to go around finding every pesky hidden item - so it's easy to realise it's gone and sort of shrug it off.
Only, as it turns out, this is the worst thing you could do. Because the final level requires you to get rid of some cobwebs to get through the fun of the nightmarish meat circus - meaning that, if you don't have the duster, you can't clear the level and finish the game.
But the Duster is sold in the shop of the hub world, so it's no biggie, right? You can just go and buy another, and carry on with your life, happy as a person who just narrowly avoided game-based despair.
Well, unfortunately, at this point you've gone beyond the time in the game where you can go to the shop, so unless you have a save file from before then you're plum out of luck.
