The Elder Scrolls Online has encountered another funny bug that turns you into a cat (or another pet). This bug delights players who are wondering “how do you do that?”. We have the answer!
What does the bug do? In a post on reddit, a user showcased an unusual character. It was indeed a cat. And no, not a humanoid Khajiit variant, but a regular house cat sitting there and nonchalantly licking its paws.
However, it appears to be a player, as the cat moves strangely and the odd, choppy sliding animations and bizarre glitches quickly make it clear that it is likely a bug.
But the ESO community wouldn’t be the ESO community if they didn’t celebrate such funny bugs and secretly consider them features. Therefore, there are numerous positive reports about the “bug” under the reddit post:
- Quesothief: “This bug should be kept; it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen this week.”
- Exotic_Muffinz: “A bug in ESO is always a feature!”
- DStrikeBlade: “That’s the funniest [bug] I’ve ever seen!”
- DarkLordofChaos: “In the wise words of Todd Howard, ‘It just works!'”
Diverse users were so excited about the “bug” that they asked for instructions on how to replicate it. Unfortunately, there were only vague hints in the Reddit thread that it had to do with the preview feature of the Crown Store. But we at MeinMMO know more!
How to become a cat (or other pets)
Here’s how the feature bug works: MeinMMO author and ESO expert MiezeMelli has already figured out how to actively use the bug. You just need to follow these steps:
- Open the Crown Store
- Go to the Crown Chests
- There you can see previews of the individual rewards
- First, show any weapon
- Then switch to a pet that you display in the preview
- Then exit the Crown Store menu and you can glitch as this pet in the world
The Ultimate Compendium to ESO Blackwood
148 pages of guides for new and returning players, including free extras: ESO main game, Morrowind, and 25% discount on Blackwood at Gamesplanet.
The procedure is somewhat similar to another funny bug that many players celebrate. With it, you can slip around as the crafty loot box merchant Pakrooti on a box.
Bugs are of course not unusual in huge projects like The Elder Scrolls Online. Through constant updates and adjustments, the game is constantly being expanded, and errors slip in as well. On the other hand, these updates are the reasons why, according to lead developer Matt Firor, there will probably never be a second part of The Elder Scrolls.
