Unexpected blind Arch-Vile in Final Doom (Plutonia)

Описание: In PC Final Doom: The Plutonia Experiment, an active Arch-Vile becomes dormant and blind, unable to see the player.
Notes on the making of this demo: This recording was an early attempt at making a partial walkthrough for Plutonia level 3, Aztec (see    • Final Doom Plutonia level 3, Aztec: Southe...   ).

A secondary goal of that demo was to remain undamaged during play; but a rocket explodes too close and knocks my health down. Before starting start over, I decide on a whim to just keep firing rockets while waiting for something to kill me... But then the nearby Arch-Vile unexpectedly drops into Wait mode, and can't seem to detect me, even as I push against it.
A punch, however, does wake it up again...
