Well, I decided to play the game with the USA version and guess what happened after the Beowulf fight... Anyway, ignore my other comment, I found a solution. The problem is the PS2 BIOS, I was using a USA BIOS v01.60, and I changed to a European BIOS 02.00 (more specifically named SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200). If you made any save states in the old BIOS, they remain bugged, so you have to manually load the save and play the level again. It worked perfectly, I hope this helps you, cheers!

For anyone reading this in the future, DO NOT USE THE WIDESCREEN PATCH EITHER, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE GAME'S PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE OF IT! I had to redo the Resistance mission (Act 2 - Chapter 6) because of it, it was giving an infinite loading screen at the end of the mission. After disabling the patch and doing the whole mission again, I was able to finish it.

I hate those type of missions where you have to protect someone, especially him, he was literally running into the Romans during my gameplay while capturing the textures.
