I'm having a hard time trapping two Slayers at once. Any suggestions?

Trial and error.

Well, to a degree. It helps if you can get near one of them to make him turn, then have the other one following you, so you can change their positions around. Other than that, you just have to keep trying until you get it right.

Could someone please give me a demo for this room?

Unfortunately, I have lost all my demos for this hold, but I can tell you that the solution does not have to be trial and error. I presume you're having trouble with trapping two slayers at once. Scheming, plotting, and diligent counting of squares can get those two slayers locked up for you.

How to do it:

Also, remember that stepping into a 4x4 square with a slayer will stop him from following his wisp. Make sure you don't accidentally stop a slayer when he needs to keep moving in step with the other slayer.

This is really hard.

I've been trying to trap the two Slayers for several days now. In principle, is it better to do this early on, before all the other gates shut, or leave it till the end? What about the walls? Are they useful? I haven't found a way to use them yet.

I've tried to take Curious Shy Rabbit's advice, but one of the slayers always stops somewhere along the path.

Help me, Obi-Wan!

Or anyone else!

I'm down to the last two. I get the idea, but I can't get enough space to keep them both moving at the same time!

i know this is a difficult hold to get help for but if anyone out there has a demo for this room (not even the whole room) just the part on how to trap two slayers at the same time. I'm having a hell of time with this room. I've tried following the hint but to no avail.

Here's a demo for those struggling in this room. I didn't count squares, I just made sure that once I had one slayer where I wanted him, I never let his wisp touch me again. It's not the fastest, but you get to see the technique twice because I lured the second slayer to the wrong gate the first time around.
