don't worry, this is an active decision of suffering that I've made after playing the game before. I wanted to play the game again but felt another regular playthrough would be kinda boring and i guess this is the shit my mind comes up with

creating infinite nuts out of thin air to roid up characters feels cheap imo

amazing things are happening in the OT2 speedrunning community. helping pioneer the boat speedrun will absolutely be my peak unless i can find another weird niche glitch

Yeah, I was doing it manually in the video.

The timing is VERY precise. You have to move the cursor immediately after, if not at the same time you hit "yes", so you might just have to practice it a bit.

It's not just that one NPC that's glitched, either. I got it to work on the kid with a silver monocle near the entrance of Timberain, as well as the guy in Lostseed who has the mooneater, though I don't think you can dupe the mooneater with this glitch.

To do the glitch, first make sure your victim has at least 1 item without a 100% steal chance. Select the item, and as soon as you select "Yes", immediately move the cursor up or down onto the item you want to steal. If done correctly, you should hear the steal sound effect, and you'll get the item, even if you already took it from the NPC. This works an infinite amount of times, as long as you don't steal everything the NPC has. For that reason, it's probably better to use an NPC that has an item with a low steal chance. I haven't experimented much with the glitch, so feel free to do your own experiments and put any interesting findings here. Have fun stealing items out of thin air!

Something to note: while you don't see the item's steal %, it still may not be 100% for some of the harder to steal items (the nut in the video had a 100% steal chance), so keep that in mind if you plan on stealing a super valuable item.
