I was messing around in my non-warping glitch file, trying to get as much % as possible without warping through the map (I'm up to 298.9%); and i found the MUTHA of all glitches! You've probably heard of glitching into Julius mode before, but this is completely different. The Soma mode pause menus and configuration is completely un-changed.
Playing as Julius with all of Soma's souls and weapons useable! Plus, since I had already glitched up my Soma file so that I had access to all of Julius', Yoko's, and Alucard's abilities (and Alucard's sword)--I had access to all those abilities, too! In other words; Playing as Julius I could wield the VK, Valmanway, Alucard's sword, Soma's bat soul, Alucard's bat soul (bullet soul) yoko's spells, Julius' subweapons, Black Panther, hand guns, both Hellfire souls, etc, etc....
The only problem is, I didn't want to save the game like that (no back-up file and probably no way to fix it) and I couldn't repeat the glitch. I'm pretty sure I can do it again, but it might take a few tries. If anyone has any requests for seeing Julius use any soul/weapon in the game, just ask and I'll get pic.
If you want to try it, I'll explain how i did it as best as i can recall.
1. Warp to the condemned tower (left of Gergoth's room) and exit the room.
2. You should be in a room with a big chain forming the ceiling/roof of the room. Do the vertical succubus glitch to get onto the roof.
3. Do multiple super jumps until you are between 2 and 2.5 map screens above where you started. then start jumping/blk. panther-ing to the right. staying on the same horizontal level as much as you can.
4. When you have gone to the right 2 (or 2.5) map screens, start super-jumping strait up, Eventually you will loose control and start falling. Just let Soma fall to the "floor" (2-3 screens down)
5. If done correctly, you will regain control when you touch the floor, but the black panther soul won't be working (you'll be moving very slow). If the black panther soul seems to be working then repeat step 4.
6. Make your way back to the room you started in; being careful around the roof of Gergoth's boss room (if you get too low here, you'll get caught in a warp). When you can see yourself on the bottom screen again, you should be Julius! The black panther soul and the weapon you have equipped won't work unless you un-equip and re-equip them.
7. You should have full access to the pause menu, so to get back inside the castle, just suspend and load the suspended file. You will be standing in the doorway as Julius! When you go talk to Yoko or Hammer they will act like you are still Soma!!
note: don't save the game as Julius unless you have a back-up file!
Most likely, there is no way to go back to Soma.
