This also causes Leon to permanently hold the knife until exiting the area.
The cutscene will play after the sequence ends, showing the El Gigante that was attacked getting back up. Damaging one enough to stun it will turn it aggressive, and jumping on its back will teleport Leon outside of the small room.
Going back into the room, the El Gigantes will be standing behind the big door and remain passive (they won't appear in the PS3 digital download if you don't summon them first). You can not do this without the glitch as you are too slow to reach the zipline before it resets.
By doing this you'll go out of bounds, and you're free to go straight to the next area by the green text door. For instance, the fight with two El Gigantes can be skipped in Chapter 4-2 by using the zipline, then running back and using it again before the zipline resets itself. Going outside the map can allow you to skip some chapters or cutscenes, and even "triggers" (e.g. Places where this can be done include going up or down the ladder in the village, jumping the fence in the farm, using the ladder in the Merchant's hideout, and many other areas. There's a chance Leon will end up landing in a different place than he normally would. This is done by repeatedly using any movement prompts such as "Jump over", "Jump down", or "Climb" while the glitch is enabled. Other than making the game easier, an interesting application with the glitch is the ability to fall outside certain locations of the map, or cause Leon to float above or below the normal ground level. ones that change Leon's location, certain ones that don't, and radio calls), aims a shotgun (including the Striker, which can be re-equipped after activating the glitch), or triggers a loading screen (e.g. The glitch will be disabled if the player climbs diagonal ladders, kicks down a ladder, opens a door, jumps through or out a window, gets hit by any attack, flinches from an explosion, uses any healing item, catches or whistles for Ashley, operates a crank, triggers certain cutscenes (e.g. After resuming, Leon will begin to move and perform actions at approximately 1.5x the normal rate, including reloading, knifing, and more. To perform the glitch, you need to aim the Striker, enter the inventory before the laser sight appears, equip any item other than the Striker, then exit the inventory.
In order for it to be executed, you need the Striker shotgun. The story was explained that Ditman and his brother discovered the glitch by accident, and figuring out what had happened, they had to share it. It was first posted on forums from a user of the name Ditman, thus the glitch was named after his username. Arguably the most notable glitch in Resident Evil 4, the Ditman glitch allows the player to run and perform actions at an accelerated pace.
