The Destroyed Science Wing or the “Red Room” as we called it internally, is a cutscene room used for the “This cave is not a natural formation” cutscene in the middle of “The Package”. This trick went through a lot of iterations before we finally got the plan nailed down. The room is surrounded by solid space, which is why this room wasn’t entered when we got down to the Noble Subway Station back in 2011. It is located inside the Abyss and is very close to the Noble Subway Station. This is one of our most complicated tricks ever completed, with many steps and meticulous setups. – Termacious Trickocity
To explain the context of this trick, we must first go back to a time before the abyss was even known about. Even though the same room exists on both “Oni Sword Base” and “The Package”, they are not located in the same place. Previously, we were able to enter this same room on “Oni Sword Base” by just setting up a simple clip where the game would lead you to believe the room would logically be located at. When we tried the same exact method on The Package, we noticed that the room did not exist there and it was kind of the same room that was on Oni Sword Base; it was an empty room with no textures.This lead us to believe that, like the end mission cutscene on The Covenant and the end mission cutscene on The Package, the destroyed science wing was loaded during the cutscene itself. It was not long however that we realized that this was not the case. Well one thing led to another, and while we were experimenting with clips and the ghost inside the swordbase itself, we accidentally clipped into the abyss and fall timed to our death. This was the first time we found the abyss and was one of the biggest “what the flying hell?!” moments to this very day. To investigate more deeply, we went into theater mode, and figured out that this area was not just a black void, but held a huge subway track. We also noticed another room that was separated from the subway station. We knew immediately that this was the Noble Subway Cutscene Room and The Red Room. It finally clicked that the “loading done” that was on the ramp inside swordbase right before activating the cutscene was the load that loaded the cutscene areas and the mysterious Abyss. At the time, we thought that the chances of getting into the Subway Station and the Red Room were the same. We thought wrong. The Destroyed Science Wing was a seven year long challenge and man a lot of hours went into figuring it out. We hope you guys enjoy this one!
