I just realized that the other bit of info is a spoiler in my opinion, in a thread where I claimed there would be no spoilers :P
Anyhow, I feel they should remove the puzzle bypass, as players can also use the alternate path down from another area outside the temple.
yeah when I found it, it really cheapened the puzzle. It needs to be about 4 times the size though and cover the entire chapel floor in that area. Make it grander.
