for example - just as in MM6, if you open a chest which is too tough for you, you may either - Telekinesis it or - stand as far as you can and, after opening it, jump away or round the corner or - open a chest flying-hovering above it and it's an inside-the-game method. But you may, instead of jumping, precc C, then press Esc after your chest boomed. (or is it only in MM6?) IMHO, "endless A" thing is an error and There must be other (weapon-related) ways to defeat elite monsters (beside ICBM thing), I hope.
