This Hold includes almost every way to kill the slayer and let you kill the slayer MANY times.

Seeing the hold title and description I figured, neat, I'll have to kill the slayer a different way in every room.

I'd say this hold has several problems..
1. Slayer killing. In most cases you don't need to kill the slayer. In many rooms a decoy potion is thrown in so the 2nd time passing through you can kill the slayer if you really care to for no reason.
2. Backtracking. Backtracking through some of these rooms is a bit annoying (and required). If you happen to go the wrong way you'll get extra backtracking.

All in all, I'd have to say thanks to Timo for the effort. He did put this hold on the architecture board and the hold does point out some slayer killing situations.

As I already said during testing, this was a very interesting hold.

No, it is not required to kill the slayers, but it was an interesting hold because I've never understood before how they should be killed. After playing this hold, it makes lots of slayer rooms easier.

Any hold that can teach me something like that is great!

Just played through this one. It's easily conquerable in one sitting--there's some nice tutorial on slayer killing via "pushing", and then it's able to be applied. Some good rooms where the slayer can be friendly, and it shows a variety of ways to slay slayers--though not as much as in A Slayer's Weakness. This is a good hold if you want to improve your slayer manipulation skills, even though there is some annoying backtracking (and it does get annoying to kill the repeating slayers while doing so.) Plot, though, lacks. 5 brains, 7 overall.
