Well my first encounter with the Lost Souls was very underwhelming..

I completed a rune trial and came back to this:

EDIT - Apologies for the large GIF, here's a smaller one:

I mean I guess it's cool to see them in such detail.

Why is that gif so big? I could've uploaded it as a video to YouTube in the time it took to load.

Are they invincible or "dormant" or something here? id, this would be an interesting thing to add to SnapMap, a way to make an enemy invincible...it'd make the Pinky more threatening when he can't be shot twice and stunned...

JFC, don't inline a 84 megabyte GIF please.

they look really good up close.

Damn, those are some really lost souls.

Apologies to all about the large GIF.

I have uploaded a shorter version at a lower resolution.

Seems likes those ones were bugged or something. The ones I have seen so far have acted reasonably quickly (though I think they could go awakening quicker then they do now). But I haven't seen them just bug out and stay in dormant mode like that.

Pretty straight forward bug.

In the Classic Doom maps they have a strange behavior. For me they hug the walls and don't really detect you, ever. They are all drunk.

I get this feeling there is barely any A.I. made for these whatsoever.

Those are definitely bugged.

I've noticed a few issues in the game -- for example, backtracking in one of the later hell levels is inadvisable because a teleporter that was uncaged is caged again.
