This is the last room I need to master this hold. It's...difficult.

I got stuck in this room also but seem to have gotten farther than you.

Remember you don't want more than 30 roaches coming at you per spawn or else you'll never gain ground. With your approach, there's 11 roaches untouched in the lowest diagonal each spawning 3 roaches for a total of 33. Not a good situation.

I enter with the sword facing east.

Hopefully that can be enough to get you started.

{sigh} I'm sure I'm almost there.

I've gotten rid of all the lower roach queens, left only with the upper right nine. I don't have enough breathing space between spawns to attack either from the south or the north. (I can park Beethro right by the uppermost of these queens, but can't kill it safely; too many roaches.)

Gotta ask - how do you start pecking away at these last nine?

Thanks -

By the way key-smiter, I think you ought to check with the powers that be about your avatar. JtRH imagery is copyrighted and I don't believe you're allowed to use your current avatar without express permission.

Another forumer has a similar avatar made of in-game graphics (I believe it's Jason) but he seeked authorisation and clearly stated the grant in his sig.

Just a thought...

It's gone. Didn't know the extent of copyrighting . . . thanks for the heads-up.

Of course, you could create the same image in DROD:AE without any copyright problems, since the graphics for it are public domain...

I've followed the hints above, but get stuck after clearing the left side, as in the the attached screenshot. But I can't get any further. Have I already made a mistake? How should I proceed from here?

That's what I thought. But I can't manage it. Oh well, Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
And of course, the famous forum effect worked, and I went straight back and succeeded. Thanks for the encouragement.
