Skip to around 2 minutes in if you quickly gather what is happening. If not:
I'm not quite sure what exactly caused this to happen fairly regularly, but when I discovered it can result in physics shenanigans, I made a save right before this so I could play around. I think that was the sequence of events, but I still have yet to try to recreate it, I'm just lazy. But yea, I was intentionally trying to utilizing clipping to launch the cyclops, this isn't meant to actually be put to great use, just fun.
I do love the part where my character basically pees himself right as he's launched into the air and the still suit collects it.
(Also if you don't know why the sunbeam countdown is negative, it's because this is a run where I had to see for myself if it was possible to complete the whole main collectathon of the game, and shut down the defense cannon during the 20 minute sunbeam countdown. And yes it is, it's even mentioned in the wiki somewhere, I found after completing it. I just thought I would mention I don't think this has anything to do with the set-up for this pause glitch.)
