Random Monster Despawn?

[PutraenusAlivius]

Well, I'm currently playing through the Dark Descent, and I'm up to the Cellar Archives, with the Kaernk. I've managed to get past the first section relatively easily, but I'm now up to the part where you have to distract the Kaernk in order to spin the valve and begin the chase between you and the enormous monster. Well, I've died about five times, and around the sixth time I started that section again, there is no monster whatsoever! (Not that I'm complaining >.>) I can enter the Archive Tunnels without being chased by anything, and I don't need to use the flesh to distract anything- because the monster just isn't there.


I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else, or whether this is a glitch of some kind. Again, not that I'm complaining!


Thanks.

It's a game mechanic. NOT a glitch

OFFTOPIC:
Comic Sans MS? I SHOULD TRY THAT!
