I am at a total loss and have been for a while. A hint on how to begin would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My problem with this room is I don't seem to be quick enough. I can hit the orb on the right on move 145, but when I reach the top-left orb, the spawn counter is already at seven, and the trapped queen spawns unreachable roaches before I can herd her up towards the briars.

Simply a matter of efficiency, or am I missing something?

It sure can, at least when I'm playing. :D

It's worth noting that this room is a little easier (specifically the trapped roach) if you approach it from a different direction.

I don't know if I'm going about this right but I can't get the top left orb in time.. I'm coming in from the right, breaking a wall so the roach will die, hitting the bottom orb, the pressure plate, heading towards the top right orb, and then trying to make it back top left, and im not even coming close. this briar is going to be tough stuff!

I swear there's something to this forum. you post, and you solve it on the very next try.

Sorry, I don't understand one word.

Whatever I try (also different directions to enter the room), I can't get it. Something get's wrong, no matter what I trie. Can't hit the bomb without being blown up, can't hit the orb or orbs in correct order and can't translate your explanations in a way I can understand. Last thing is not a question of language itself. I fear, you "speak" a lot inbetween the lines and this I don't understand this time.

To be true, TCB is very frustrating for me. Not one of my favorite holds at the moment.

I can follow the route for getting the briars to do the work, but i'm lost at freeing the trapped roach. How do i get to that in time?

Thanks

Last question: What is a Fegundo? Can't find it in my dictionary.

a small piece of information you find here.

btw: it is amusing me that this question riddles since more than one year, even if i know that not all people reading all postings here.

btw too: i'm wondering about the fact that MeckMeckGRE knew this so long time before TCB came out.

Start by hitting the southernmost orb and then circle around the east side of the room to get to the roach. Check out this post for further help if you need it: http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=14838&page=0#177216

Arg! Naturally, one hour after posting I can do it fine... is there a curse...?

In the end, I killed the queen myself anyway...

I have a problem in this room. I can solve all the rest of the puzzles, just that I can't kill the roach at the trapdoor and broken wall area. In 3.1, the Briar grows too fast. It seemingly covers the entire area before I can reach it. And unless you have enough time to circle around the briar after you've lit the fuse, I don't think you can kill that roach without trapping yourself.
