Alright, so I'm on map 24 of Whispers of Satan, this area right here, need to get up to a switch to lower a blue skull key in another room. However that switch is out of reach, there was a switch below and in front of it, which I activated, releasing an archvile on me, now, naturally, my first instinct is to kill it... But there's no apparent way for me to access that switch now, was I meant to keep it alive so I could use it to jump me up to the switch?
