OK, but in UV it is not guaranteed to happen. On NM I can get it to happen every time. On UV, I have only seen it happen once (out of 10 attempts to reproduce it); in that case, the lost soul appeared to try to fly through a box of rockets, fail, then fly up over the boxes of rockets and attacked me.

In the above, I summoned a soulsphere right in the door way and the lost soul flew right through it and attacked me.

That is because in NM the monsters are much more aggressive. If a Lost Soul moves normally it can pass through the items. It is blocked only when it is charging.

I'd say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

This is the original behaviour, and it's saved my ass more than once :P

I think it should be left as is.

I tend to think like you.

Filed as 'not a bug', then.
