Gah! Blasted Roaches!

I can defeat groups 1 , 2, and 3, but I can't seem to kill 4. For those not familiar with this hold, 4 opens at orb 5, and orb 6 opens the way to the scroll at 7, which I need. I also need to defeat 8, and that might give me trouble, but one thing at a time...

I suggest you stay at point 1 and make your stand.



If this room is troubling, I'd be careful - it gets harder from here.

Another tip is that you don't need the scroll immediately. You can kill all the monsters, leave, and then enter and get the scroll. Sorta cheap, but it works.

Thanks. Also, the scroll can be gotten immediately after killing all monsters, no matter what happens...

True...but if you want to optimise the room, not reading it saves 4 moves at least!

I can't really articulate my method of handling the northeastern group of roaches. Sometimes it clicks for me, sometimes it doesn't. However, what really gave me fits were the roaches behind the red door.

So, for those who may need it, a hint on that:
