Headscratchers / Dr. Phibes Rises Again

Go To

  • Why does Phibes have to steal the key and fight Biederbeck? The river of life seems big enough for all.
    • Biederbeck probably wouldn't want to have to share the secret of the River with an over-theatrical madman who attracts too much attention, and Phibes doesn't think much of Biederbeck for using the River's benefits solely for himself rather than for any loved ones.
  • Phibes sets his tomb to re-open in response to a Sundial Waypoint due to the moon's light shining from a very specific angle. But wouldn't he miss his window of opportunity to access the River if the sky just happened to be overcast that night? He's gambling a lot on the odds of a clear night in Britain.
