Remember, you can go across an Up arrow left and right.

Really, I can't really offer any tips, other than that. It's not as difficult as, say, that one room in Deep Hold level 7.

virtually all of this trapdoor puzzle relies on knowing that an arrow only prevents movement in 3 directions (out of 8).

xxx
xBx
...

if Beethro is standing on an up arrow, he can exit that arrow to ANY of the x directions.

xxx
.Bx
..x

if Beethro is standing on an arrow facing NE, he can exit that arrow to any of the x directions.

so the trick of the room is to find places where "odd directions" help, and almost always, when you're standing on an arrow next to another arrow which points the same direction, you want to move to the other arrow...

I too have been stuck for too long. I've attached a demo through the second trapdoor checkpoint . . . did I go wrong before this point or am I on the right track?

Thanks -

That worked. I half-figured it'd be a counterintuitive path, and thus it was. Thanks!

Key-smiter, do you mind sharing a demo?
