When I played this level last year, I got so upset at this non-working PB that I wrote Claude Errera to see if he knew whether or not this was deliberate. He contacted someone on the Evil team and asked them. I wish I could remember who Claude contacted. I know it was not FM. Claude wrote me back and told me that the reply he got from the Evil team member was that this non-working PB was not deliberate, but was in fact a mistake. The PB was supposed to be a working one, but that it somehow got past the testers. It would seem to make sense to me. Otherwise the player has quite a large chunk of the map that must be covered before reaching the first working PB.
I have tried and tried to vid this level without success. My downfall is always the same....i can get all the way to that Mystic you mention that blocks your way to the working PB, but can never get past it. :( Under vidmaster rules, all you have is the Pfhor Staff and your Magnum. That appears to be for me not quite enough to complete a vidding of the level.
