Which roach is left? You should be able to kill most if not all of the roaches after you kill the adders.

I mean, that I can kill only a roaches, the upper-right roaches can't be killed. I'm really confused... Can I have a demo?

I can post a demo when I get home.

But I think you may be going after the wrong thing here.

Im still having loads of trouble with this room. In particular, I think the upper most, left most roach has to be led to the two diagonal doors, but if I lead it there before the adder eats it, the lower adder gets stuck in the third door. Any hints? Any of my assumptions wrong?

The answer is simple. Let the top adder pass it before you lead it down

Bah...this one is still killing me.

I get that I have to stop the adders from eating the roaches, but I don't understand how I can get both adders into the middle lane without getting one of 'em stuck or getting me killed.

I think, and I'm not sure because its a little difficult to figure out what exactly you're doing without a demo, but I think you are trying to kill the lower roach too soon. There is a place where you can store that roach until the very end.

Edit:
oops, post collide, but we're offering different advice.

In reference to the lower roach, think about places where it would be safe from the adder.

In reference to the upper adder, if I remember correctly, I had plenty of time to get to 3 to kill as you had planned, though, as was pointed out, this is not strictly necessary since you can win a head on battle in this case.

Ah...yes, that would make it a bit easier, wouldn't it?

BTW - The adders have been the first new game element that I found which DIDN'T have any introductory text explaining how they work. I just wound up in the Outpost surrounded by green snakes and had to wing it. :-O

I'll have to go look for this again, because I couldn't find it before.

Thanks all for the info. I should be able to complete it now.

I'm stuck here too,

It's the timing in the middle. The one roach is in the double doors, the other has to be got there quickly, but before the lower snake gets to its next door.

I can't see it at all.

Could you put the demo back?

Please help! Can you re-post the demo as I've been here a fortnight and am just not getting it! I can't co-ordinate the adders properly.

I just wanna move on!

Two weeks is usually my limit for a room and that's every evening for 14 days trying to fathom it all out. I would really appreciate either a demo or a move by move answer or some major hints. Please?!

Thanks so much.... :-)

Yup, very tricky room. Though, I don't know why she deleted it, but here's my demo, nonetheless.

Sorry about that. The reason I deleted it was simply because of temptation. Personally, I like to try to figure out a room on my own *if I can* or with subtle hints. If I get really stuck, I'll ask for a demo. But if I go to a hint thread and see a demo already posted, I find it easy to give in and just download it. Afterward I usually wish I'd at least given it a shot.

So it's my issue I guess, but that's the main reason why I usually remove attached demos. Also, I noticed early on that many people would ask to be told via PM or post when the demo had been downloaded so that they could remove it, so I also thought it was our forum's unofficial policy. I figure if someone needs the demo, they'll just ask and I'll either re-post it or someone else will help, as happened with Tokyokid. I got here a couple of minutes too late to do so myself.

Well, that's completely understandable. I usually leave my demos posted, so other people can get help from it.

Hey thanks!

I've downloaded your demo and am going to watch and learn! I completely understand the other poster's reasons for removing the demo and it's a really good point and valid. I, too, presumed this would be the forum policy and it should be if it's not.

Thanks again for assisting a fellow DRODer in need!

One day, I vow, I will post help myself instead of always asking for it! I'm just NOT THAT GOOD but I love this helpful community almost as much as I love this game.

I'm sure you will thrust me forwards but I will report back and let you know.

Thanks a million :-)
