No, this room works just fine in 3.1. The briar is not too fast. There are still plenty of extra moves left after you complete the room.

About the roach by the broken walls and trapdoors:

But there are trapdoors at where you need to kill that roach. If you go for that roach first, you will trap yourself to your death. If you do the light-the-fuse thing, the briar covers that area. Since there is a trapdoor at the beginning of that general section, you can't escape when you break the wall.

EDIT: The H&S magic worked! I've completed the level!

Ok. I used a different entrance for starters. Another thing I did was make some time trade off's, meaning I had to come back to finish somethings off.

Post if you need more help.

Everything is right so far. The next thing you need to do is
Click here to view the secret text

Then
Click here to view the secret text

You can then

The rest is pretty straight foward. Ask if you need more help though, and I can post a demo if needed.

Here's a demo for you.

And I don't think you can edit the hold at all. If you can, I'd say you would have to conquer all the secret rooms.

I'm lost at killing the trapped roach. There doesn't seem to be a way to get to the pressure plate after he's dead.

From what I've read in this topic, there aren't really any further explanations I can give you. I attatched a demo three posts up from here, so take a look at that.

I haven't got DROD up in front of me right now, so this is from memory:

Starting point:

Like I said; from memory, so may be wrong. And only really repeating what others have said before. My demo should explain it clearly enough, though.

Aha, that was a complete waste of your time. I decided to confuse east and west when reading the above posts, which took me over the trap door on the way to the roach. Thanks.

Funny; when I was first doing this room I read Maurog's guide for help, and made the exact same mistake as you did ;). That's why "east" was in itallics.

I just don't understand where to start. One person says to get the trapped roach ... another says to get the NE orb. What is the starting strategy? Where first ... where 2nd?

It's already been said, but that is the first roach you should kill, and this room is easiest if you enter from the secret room to the east.
