Not sure how to kill the evil eyes that wake up as I come up from the bottom entrance without resorting to one of the side passages (which inevitably wakes up more evil eyes who become trapped by force arrows).

How, praytell, can I use the mirrors if they're across the water and thus unreachable by sword? And if I'm supposed to use one of the side passages to kill the eyes, how am I supposed to kill the eyes that get trapped by the force arrows?

I am stuck in this room as well, but a bit further on. I have cleared all but the 3 eyes on the right half of the map, but I have absolutely no idea how to position mirrors to get by without waking the eyes up.

I assume you know where the mirrors have to end up in order to proceed. Place the mirrors so that the first two eyes are blocked and the mirror to block the third is one space to the left of where it needs to be. Then all it takes is one simple move to place the third mirror in place. I'll secret what the move is.

Geez. I had left to start with, changed it to right, reconsidered, and still went with right. Should have just said West.

Well that was tricky. Even after reading it and trying it I didn't understand it. Let me say it my way in case anyone else missed what I missed. I kept trying swings but what I needed to do was:

Remember that you can use your sword as well as your own body.

Here's some hints that could help you:
-Make sure you have blocked the seeing from one eye, so you can put a mirror in the way of another.
-If you make a mistake, you can press the backspace key to reverse that move.

Ultimately, the way to do this, would be to

Thanks but even if i block the first eye on the upper part, i cannot block the third one, i can only place the mirror to the bottom row so i become exposed to the third one

I already tried that but when I hit two clockwise, it goes right next to three; it moves diagonally, not horizontally

When I stand SW of 2 and swing clockwise, the mirror at 2 moves SE. not E. What am I doing wrong?

If you want mirror 2 to move east, you need to move it by pushing rather than swinging.

Thank you. Obviously I had tried every possible move but that one. For some reason I was thinking my sword would break the mirror, not move it. DUH

I found that if you place the mirrors as shown in the picture and then follow closely Curious Shy Rabbits instructions, you can't go wrong.

Well, I guess that's the problem - juanita doesn't have CaravelNet, so she can't view the room images...

But even if you don't have CaravelNet, you can right-click on the image, select "Properties" and look at the parameters at the end of the URL to get the coordinates; in this case they read

Right clicking on a tile in DROD should also show that tile's coordinates, BTW.
