Its an easy jump, use the cultist as a stepping stool, just avoid his shots or go back into the level and let him roam, peek out until you see him go between the 2 coffins or ontop of them near their heads, then run down and jump on his head and jump once more, youll slide right in.
That sounds like it'd be just as likely to get you hurt as the TNT jump. Zombies are easy to avoid, it'd be safer to lure / push one down after you've taken care of the cultists. But i was talking about the actual jump from the hole in the wall, not a steping stone.

I've only managed to do it first time once, I'm not the best jumper, sometimes if i can't do it like after the 7 - 9 time i give up all hope and move on lol.
Alright. Back to the question of monsters in the water.
The Haunting. Twice when you pick up the keys there’re two gargoyle statues ‘guarding’ ‘em. I used to do the following trick: just threw the statues into the nearby pool so gargoyles would respawn underwater. They didn’t die though.
heh. yea. in ganglion depths i always kill cultist first then carefully drop the stone gargoyle statue in the chasm, then cross the bridge. safe. same thing can be done in forbidden rituals at the very start, with tnt or just by pushing it in the area behind the stone wall to the left of the knife door if i remember correctly. then it's safe to pick the knife key.
but all that in case you're feeling merciful and not going for 100% kills, hehe.
