So, you have two mimic potions to work with, and four roach queens to kill. I know I can't just transport the two mimics behind the red gates, I've tried using one behind the right red gate and the other to get the trapdoors, and I just finished trying to do one behind the left red gate and the other to get the trapdoors (the first is obvious, the second is because I can't get to the left side in time to prevent roaches going into bad spots on the maze, and the third because the area to wander around in is only 13 spaces wide while the nearest place to retread without the mimic going anywhere as well is 15 spaces away [I counted] from the place that juts out the farthest to the right on the left side of the room). What's left to try?

That's an awful solution. It'll work, sure, but it's gonna take a long time (and so far it already *has* taken a long time*). I really hope that's not the only way to solve it, but I guess I'll find out after I dance with the roaches...

I did this room with one mimic hunting for trapdoors and the second mimic behind the left red door. You've named the reason for such plan: you have to kill the NW queen and her roaches before the last trapdoor is dropped.

Well, I finished it using TripleM's suggestion (thanks btw, I still think it's awful but it did the trick). I really hope there aren't any more like that (or at least not more than a few). Heh, and I got 24th even with over 2500 moves (I'm not the only one who hates it I suppose ;P).

Please note the the high score of this room is less than 300 moves.

I did. I watched it and was very impressed. It wasn't exactly an obvious solution though.

I solved it in about 600 moves, so I guess I didn't mean wait *that* long :P Just enough to give you a bit of a boost at times.

Oh man, this was nasty room during testing.

I admit, I did end up solving it by waiting a really long time.

It's also helpful to note that you don't need a mimic behind the NW red gate.

Here's one way of doing it. Before you start killing the huge pile of roaches on the right, use them to push the mimic down to the green door.

Too devious room. I've been to solve it for few days, but no luck, even after reading through this topic... :(

a demo would be appreciated.

EDIT: Oh, well. Forgot to wait a little for roach queen to spawn more roaches in the NE. Solved it(and completed the level)

What is the order to kill the queens? Do you drop all TD first? Do you drop them from the top down?
