Howdy,
So, there I was, a newly minted 45 with a mission from my new contact, "Clear all the Baddies". As I finish with what I beleive is the last fellow, silence, no Mission Complete! Bugger me, I missed someone. Scooting back along the map, I see someone's feet hanging out of the ceiling. Sigh, this is never good. Assuming that I didn't already use my mission by-pass for the week, which doesn't work on timed missions, anyway, I'd have to go all the way back to PI to abort this mission.
Or abort it and re-do it, not really always a good option for a timed mission. I COULD try a petition and a GM MIGHT get back to me before the timer hits zero. None of these are good options.
My Phantasm, Brave Sir Robin, was not the least bit interested in the feet above him. He looked about for som aggro to draw on myt six, but was disappointed. I dismissed him.
I cast my PA underneath the shuffling feet, but they too saw nothing to fight and stood around until dispelled. I tried flying around the feet attack with no success. Sigh... tick, tick tick.
I was about to head out and try a restart while I had some time left when I thought, "What if I cast the PA on the ceiling?" I place the targeting circle on the feet and clicked away. Sure enough, I was soon staring at three pairs of white booties whaling on the Gunslinger. I had to do this a couple of times, as they didn't quite get him on the first pass. Once the malta was down, Mission Complete!
Since then I've used this 3 times to ferret out stuck/hidden bad guys. The last time, she was on the other side of the wall, which didn't slow down the troops. They went out there after her, and then pulled her back into the room. I love my PA's!

Wow I thought this was a well known trick, I have been doing this since I got my PA and have seen people doing it long before.
