I'm pretty sure this is very clear in hindsight, but I have problem with the second room from the right, at the top. I think I place the decoy at
and then hit the 4 orbs with the mimic in the sequence

Yet no matter which direction I put the mimic in, I still have one goblin one square too far from the bomb to be removed. Stuck...

Haha, my CaravelNet expired so I have no idea where is (1). But your hint is enough of a push. Thanks!

It turns out

My CaravelNet has not expired, but since rooms I've not completed yet don't show images in this forum any more, I can't describe my problem very well.

I've started and restarted this room enough to suppose that the first mimic goes in the upper-center-right room earlier rather than later. But even putting the first mimic in that sector leaves one or more goblins alive. What's the right opening sequence?

Thanks -

Place your first decoy in that chamber in a clever way (sword orientation is important). If you do things correctly it will be easy to blow the goblins up with the bomb later on.

Is four months stuck in a room enough? Some would say so. Can someone either provide me a demo, or a specific set of hints like "the first three mimics go in these specific locations"?

This is a great hold, but I haven't been able to see much of it lately.

Thanks -

It seems that there is more than one good way to do this room.

Here's the order in which I used the mimics and decoys:

One decoy is left over - I'm sure you can find a creative use for it.

Thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
