it's only consistent when you will get hit by tnt explosion after making single jump - you literally need to get pushed by tnt explosion into the cutscene to not despawn, prolly that additional hit skips something which stops asterix

it's even better to not stay right on the tnt

but near it

right before the explosion start making a jump and while it try to position yourself before the explosion effect to get pushed by it to the cutscene
