A small hint on how to get one of the two poppiesguards to cut down the crumbly wall inside their "prisons" would be much appreciated - I just can't seem to do it, and I can't think of a solution that doesn't involve at least one of these crumbly walls being destroyed...

Oi. That was... NASTY... to say the least...

Yeah, it took me some time to figure that out myself - it's totally counter-intuitive...

Wow, this place is great. I hadn't even finished my post about how it made no sense before I solved the room.

Yeah, you'd think you'd know everything by heart by now, but it still manages to sneak up on you and surprise you...

Grr, I'm glad I checked here before being getting even more frustrated with the room. ^_^
edit: Ah, it was a bug, and is fixed in 2.0.15.

I'm finally tackling Blue Rooms and I'm starting to think I'm still not good enough. I've managed the first (and second?) part of this room. But now I'm stumpling* around trying to figure out where to put the decoy.

(*Yeah, a typo, but I'm leaving in. It's an accidental portmanteau that pretty much describes what I'm doing.)

×As far as I can tell, the tile that is in the line of sight of both eyes is within uncuttable tar. Am I missing something obvious, as usual?.

Ah yes. See, missing the obvious again by looking too hard for the odd. Thanks.

(Haven't read earlier posts, apologize if these have been asked specifically before)

1. Is it true that I need to activate at least one of the eyes blocked by crumbly walls before I drink the invisibility potion?
2. Is it true that I need the decoy to kill an eye?
