I thought it a good idea to start a new thread on this room, since it's discussed only in one other thread, and that thread also discusses two other rooms.

The other thread is:
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=2893

I've spent a matter of hours on this room, and looked at the other hints, but I still don't understand what do to in this room.

My question is, do you have to get both of the wraithwings directly between you and one of the crumbly walls? If so, I have given up on figuring out how to do this, and I would very much appreciate somebody posting a demo.

No you don't have to do that. Try to get into a position somewhat like this:
WEEEWT
BS

where W stands for wraithwing, B for Beethro and S for sword and T for trapdoor and E stands for empty space.

Aaagh. This was a really tough one, it took me forever to solve it.

I must admit that I am not quite able to figure out the benefit of that formation, since wraithwings can fly over trapdoors. And even if I could figure that out, I can't quite seem to make that formation. What would help me most here is a demo. This is the one room that is holding me back from completing the level.

Well . . . I've been stuck here for about six weeks. Even with this latest spate of hints, I'm no closer to a solution. While I have probably set a record for number of moves, that's not what I want to get out of this room.

I've recorded and attached a demo of a typical foray into this room. Most of the time, like this one, the wraithwings become inaccessible and cannot be retrieved. This happens whether I start from the right or the left -

Where did I go wrong? (At some point after "when you downloaded this hold.") Thanks -

×You don't need both WWs. Not for long, at least. Once you have both of them in the top area, kill one. You can kill the other one against the right edge of the room, on your way out.

This sounds very attractive. Unfortunately I don't see any way to

This room cannot any longer be considered "fun". Can someone share a demo, or a hint on "the easier way"?

Thanks -

Here's a demo of the non-easy way...

Thanks for the demo. Your way I understood . . . it's not quite like where the other hints were pointing me.

Onward. . .
