Did you know that skypest can apparently fly though doors? And I mean doors that are locked with keygems, not teleport/doors. For example, look at the very end of the pyramid of ancients. There's a skypest right next to a door, and if you wait long enough, it'll fly right through it. It almost killed me just now when I was waiting for it to land, and I had to jump and grab the platform to the right in order to avoid it.

Heh, that's a point: nobody ever said those doors were airtight!

They technically shouldn't be able to, since those are tile-based doors and as solid as walls, but this means that Skypest can also move through some walls.
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.

Perhaps the tile above the door isn't solid? It flew through the upper corner.

Well if that's the case then it's totally more realistic: Insects get through doorjams all the time!

I added a door in the beginning of Miragia and the Skypests were not able to fly through it. Interesting!

Maybe they can fly one way but not the other? :/

It flew through from the left, at the top where the door meets the ceiling. I think the tile there probably isn't solid.

Something to do with the fact that young Vorticons can also pass through solid tiles? I'm sure you've all encountered this in Keen 3.
