Would have been nice to know if one was present in a level, just to know if I was looking in the right place - noticed cat in one level, key in next, naturally assumed the scroll was going to be in the next. Spend fifteen minutes scouring the big level without any luck, then found it in one of the first levels while backtracking. I am not amused...
