I was experimenting with walk through walls and found that if you go out of bounds through the left or top sides of the screen for a few seconds then start walking back in the direction you came from the screen will scroll but you will be invisible. Or at least it appears that way.

I'm leaning towards it being an issue with the character's coordinates on the map. Because I ended up in Satera once while doing this on the world map. But according to where the map was currently at on the screen I was nowhere near it. I think that Rhys was lagging behind the scroll. However, I am not sure what is actually going on.

You cannot move in the direction you went out of bounds with. So if you did this from the left side of the screen you can't move left. And if you did this from the top part of the screen you can't move up.

Trying this from the right or bottom of a map doesn't really work. The screen won't scroll in the opposite direction. And you never seem to wrap around. If you do it must take an eternity because I had the button down for a few minutes and Rhys never appeared.
