So I figured out how the leveler bug works. | Forums

[xX Alucard]

FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!! YIPPEEE!!! I kept retracing my steps from what happened in the Stone Cold Crazy solo 3 jump to 95%, and used the clues from Derrick's information and wording to do it.


Thanks derrick if you were going to tell us:



*I'm not sure if all these steps are necessary. Feel free to shorten the method after testing.


Leveler Bug: (How to level stuff to 100% the cheap way)


STEP 1. Go to the section of the song you want to level and open it in the Leveler.

STEP 2. Once you're in the song, SET THE MASTERY DOWN to an easier % (I used 4% for the SSB bridge), and play it until it says "Level Up!"
(I'm not sure if failing here would affect the bug-- in my testing I made sure to pass the first time.)

STEP 3. RIGHT AS IT SAYS "LEVEL UP!" (you hear the grinding wheels and see the message), PAUSE IT and set the mastery to 100%.

STEP 4. Fail the section on purpose once, and PAUSE IT as it says "too many notes missed!!!" After pausing, choose "end now."

STEP 5. After you get the message "you failed to achieve the mastery bla bla bla", and the game saves, choose "Play again!"

STEP 6. While still in the tuning screen, pause and select "end now".

STEP 7. The game will say "you failed to achieve mastery at bla bla bla%." Press OK, let it save, then choose "continue journey." You'll be back at the event setlist.

STEP 8. Hit Start to bring up the main menu. Go to options and set the difficulty to "highest achieved."

STEP 9. Go back to the section, it should be fully leveled.



In spite of my feverish testing, I feel everyone deserves to know the information. It's not fair to play some ultimate judge of morality that determines information other people should or should not be allowed to know. Everyone can help each other-- share the information they find so we all benefit.

It's wrong to tell someone you know what's best for them; you can only know what's truly best for yourself. I believe the right thing to do is let people make their own choices, no matter how dangerous or potentially bad the choices could be-- they still have a right to have them.


-- *End speech* --


I hope this serves as a stepping stone in the community for everyone to help each other have a better playing experience.

after almost getting to level 11 a few times and restarting it each time because of it freezing up every few mins.i think i will try this out to see if i can level up all my tuff solos , im thinking of the yellow moon band solo, and maybe some megadeth all tho i may get into trouble trying to cheat Megadeth , i dont see any harm in using this bug.

Impressive work by you and OP (assuming its something similiar). Thanks for sharing.
Sounds exhausting though

Thanks for the info. I don't see the big deal about people having this trick though. Sure there is a game element here but it's primarily about becoming a better guitar player. You can't cheat that. Thanks again for this trick. I may or may not try it but I appreciate having the option.

Having had this happen unintentionally one time, I'm guessing you don't have to do all the immediate pausing because I never did that. To try and reduce this down to it's simplest form, what I'm guessing I did that was similar was



STEP 1. Go to the section of the song you want to level and open it in the Leveler.


STEP 2. Successfully had a level up in this section during this seesion.


STEP 3. Change to 100%


Step 4. Fail at 100% (possibly multiple times)


Step 5. Hit Start to bring up the main menu. Go to options and set the difficulty to "highest achieved."


Step 6. Go play the full song.


I never tried to reproduce it so I just assumed it had to do with setting the max level and failing, but it must also have to do with also leveling up during that same session. The positive is that we now know how to play a full song at 100%, but the down side is that it will more than likely get taken away in the next patch and I'm doubting that they'll give us an option to play the full song at 100%.

Thanks Alucard for sharing. Isn't that what forums are for, to share information?? To run around and say 'Na, na, na, na, I know something you don't' seems a little childish imo. As for a patch for it, not sure RS has the best track record for patches from what I've read from the PS folks! And just for the record, I have no intention of even trying this method as I'm not into the whole mastery thing, but I always like and appreciate knowledge. Thanks again.

[rchiav]

This would be a really easy fix and we're months away from the patch release. I think the chances of it being added are pretty high.

[triguy98]

Thanks for the tips. If the game was perfect, I would probably feel different about having access to this information. However, so many times the game doesn't give you credit for stuff you did right. This is a way around all that. Still have to be able to play it maxed, after all. This is good for me for "More Than A Feeling" especially. I KNOW I am hitting those notes 100%, and it will even say "perfect phrase" during the song, but never level me up. Definitely will not be using this for most of the Megadeth songs

[steeljake]

I won't be using it personally, if I get to 100% on a solo it will be cuz I learned it.

[derrickhenry1]

He is correct but it sounds like he added to many steps. Also he didn't get all the information for it as well.

You have the option to have it at whatever level you please for any section.

Here is the step process

1. Go to Leveler and set leveler to a really low setting and level up twice

2. Pause the game set leveler mastery you want to play the game at. It doesn't have to be 100%, but if that is what you are going for than 100% it is. If you choose 90% than when you come back it will be at 90%.

3. Fail at whatever % you want that section to be at and then end game

4. Go to options click on highest achieved

5. Go back and the game will be at the % you last failed assuming it is higher than your previous %.


I wasn't trying to rub it in that I knew this information for those who suggested that might be the cause I know there are hardcore purist who would prefer I didn't let this out maybe, but also I wanted to see other peoples opinion in case they thought it would ruin the challenges. It appeared everyone was choosing the option of let me know I was heavily leaning on telling people since most said they wanted to know and it didn't matter. I wanted to make sure people were okay with it, not to be some villain who knew and wasn't going to tell.
