He hit me so hard... I fell out of the world

[Fleische]

Hm, as with the hopping bug, I replayed from the previous save and no more bug (now I just can't run away before he kills me so my progress is still blocked).

So I'm guessing it's a similar bug to the hopping one, ie a dodgy script (I guess whatever it is happens when you get the jolt trying to open the inner gate to that area).
