Blood Omen Secrets: HMCS Bitter finally legitimately cracked

After 24 years Blood Omen's biggest secret has finally been completely exposed. First discovered hidden in the code of Blood Omen in 2010, the HMCS Bitter was a secret pirate ship that had apparently been cut from the game and could only be accessed by using a walk through walls cheat.

When quizzed on this creator Denis Dyack claimed that the ship had not been dummied out and was in fact legitimately accessible - but only through the activation of four invisible switches in the corners of the world.

This weekend thanks to the Legacy of Kain Discord the mystery was finally solved with the discovery of hidden switches in the Land of the Nemesis, Ziegsturhl, Malek's Bastion and the region southeast of Willendorf - not actually the corners of the world in the retail version, but they had been in the alpha. Activation of all four these switches opens a hidden back door to Capt'n Bitter's Sudz in Vassebunde, and opens the way to a pirate adventure on the high seas. Arrr
