So, I've been stuck on this room for a while now.
I'm assuming that:

Yet I'm too slow to make it to the mother.
I can make it to her while only hitting the orb near the queens, but then I can't go any further.

Where am I wrong here? I'm going crazy.
Help would be appreciated.
Tima.

That is possible (Tahnan's demo does it) but it is not the intended solution and I'm not sure how easy it is.

Ask if you need a more specific clue.

I think I've figured most of this room out, except for the slight problem that it doesn't actually seem to work for me.

You can wait to place the decoy if you want, but you don't have to.

So far my best result has come from this placement:

i don't nave any ideas about:

- how to kill the snakes (without using the mimic directly; but in this case he can't reach any orb!) and
- how to being fast enough to avoid that the tar blocks all the way.

i know that it is not really sportsmen-like, but a demo would be nice!

I just did this room a different way than described above, and due to my placement of the decoy, I didn't need to be fast. I also used the mimic to kill the snakes.

I put the decoy
