The Tumbler

To avoid frustration or confusion, we recommend getting familiar with the Expert Mode first. Further more, in-depth knowledge of Gameplay Basics is assumed at Expert Mode articles.

The range in difficulty in Expert Mode is wide. Some of the described things in Expert Mode
* need to be “studied” to be able to accomplish them. Several tries might be needed and then it still might not work.
* Are complicated Glitches and it took the community years to find them out.
* Could be found out by yourself or through a Companions showing it to you. By reading this you might spoil yourself a nice surprise.
* Are missing a detailed description. Investigation on how they work is needed, your help is highly welcomed.

**The Tumbler** is a community term for a trick that can be done in the OOB of the Broken Bridge level.

Makes ones Wayfarer "tumble" / rotate constantly.

## How and where to do it

Enter the Broken Bridge OOB.

There are several places, where the wind makes you fall on your back, backplant. The places are rather small spots.

Sometimes it happens, that you never come to rest and keep on rotating, that is The Tumbler.

Once you found a backplant-place: walk several times into it. Sometimes you need to walk a bit up and down to backplant again.

It happens consistently as long as you walk VERY slow and carefully - little by little - to the correct spot in my experience (once you find where the wind blows). See this video.

The backplant is much easier to trigger.

## Tumbler places

Around the "inner circle" of the OOB. Rather close to the level, though the distance to the level is not always the same.

Once you found some of the places, it will be easier to find them again. A Companion might show them to you.

* On the East side of the level, where the boundary rocks are. If you go close to them, from the OOB side, you might find a tumbler place. Its rather in the "North-South"-middle of the line of rocks.
* Go to the Black Cube, and a bit further to the West. Walk further west, but also rather to the rock-side. Walk in circles to find the place.
* Near the Black Cube, further to the HL Banner around some hills are also backplant-places.
* On the North-East side. There are some of those flat rocks, walk along them. (Coming from Headbonkers Cave, walking East. Its around the height of the last big Sandfall before the level boundary.)
* On the South-West (and also East?) side. Walk with slight distance to the level from one side to the other, you should run into one of them.

## Trivia

There are videos and reports (not many) were players got attacked by a War Machine and got into a Tumbler animation too, instead of coming to rest in a Faceplant position.

Broadly speaking, a **glitch** is where something in the game does something it wasn't meant to. We do not distinguish between a "wanted Glitch" and actual bugs.
