Maybe it's just me, but it says "There are no high scores for this room" instead of "You need to conquer this room first" in-game - is it even possible to kill the slayer here?

It is possible, yes. There wouldn't be any scores, since it's a 1-move victory room.

Oops, you're right.

Hints:

Thanks, that did it. I wonder how many patches this solution will survive, though...

It simply would break too many rooms and/or existing high score demos.

Well, I played through one of the later war holds (9? 10?) a few days ago and found quite a few rooms with demos from around this march that didn't work anymore in 2.0.14...

np: Lamb - Gold (Autechre Mix) (Remixed (Disc 1))

Yeah, so I'm not seeing it at all. I've been trying to curve around throught the hole in the middle while he's in the alcove at the bottom, but that hasn't worked at all. Can someone give me a close-to-explicit hint?

I guess I should help here. Basically,
Want extra help? PM me. But please give me time to reply. I'm meant to be revising for a Spanish GCSE in two days...

Okay, I'm getting nowhere.
I tried following Pilchard's directions, I think, but

Never mind, I downloaded the Slayer Killing Hold and worked it out.

This is my last unsolved room. Even with the hints, I'm still not getting it. My sense is that I need to draw the Slayer to the hole in the wall and try to kill him in the nook at the bottom, but I'm not getting close.

I have to say I'm really enjoying this hold... until I reached this room!

Please can anyone help me with this room? I've read all the hints above, and read through all the discussion in the 'holds' posting... but still I can't kill the slayer. Please could someone post me a demo... pretty please...

An old lady will be very grateful!
Jan

EDIT: It worked again!! As soon as I posted I solved the room
