Where do I make the first strike on the roaches. I can't find any place where it's safe to kill one, without the horde turning on me.

Okay, but then, how do you kill the roaches. I am cornered by the ones from the northmost chamber, and there's ones coming at me from the south.

If I go east, the roaches will step on the pressure plate, closing the gate. And I can only open the gate once, and if I go east, that means I have to step on it.

What now?

I'm wondering how to avoid this.

BTW, I can clear the room, I just can't get out.

Ug, nevermind. I got it. H&S effect!

Well, if #1 up there is the correct spot to start, and I fail to see how it couldn't be, then I'm royally stuck. I'm sure history will repeat itself and I'll solve it after this has been posted, but if in the mean time someone could post a tiny second hint, that'd be great! :D

Thanks,

Ok. The problem, however, is that I can't get there. After #1, if I hop up and go west, a) I've tripped the Open switch, and b) in a few turns, a roach will trip the Close switch. If I stay and fight the roaches coming from the south, then the roaches will come towards me from the west. !!! I don't get it.

Cheers,

Zaubberer told us the first roach to be killed. Ok, when I do this, the other roaches nearby will kill me in the next second. Maybe I enter the corner with the wrong sword position (facing NE)?

EDIT: Forget the answer...I see my mistake O:-

I already tried those exact steps before I came here and it doesn't work because you trigger the down switch before the roaches trigger the up switch. What am I missing?

EDIT: Never mind... after reading through all the comments again I see the answer. Doh!

Assuming you're referring to stigant's post:
1: First square north of the eastern chamber; solitary roach is SW of this position.
2: Three squares north and four squares west along the corridor (approximate).
3: Just before the corner where this corridor turns north, at the western end.
4: Just east of the north-western-most point of the room.
HTH.

Help please .... I read the hints and I am still stuck. I think I know where to kill the first roach (upper right by the red X)but I can't seem to get there without getting killed. What am I missing? How do you manuver through the roaches without killing one of them. I can make it into the right chamber but if I try from the upper right or lower right I keep killing a roach.

Thanks for the help,

Jimmy

OK now I am really confused. May-be I don't know what roach to kill first. The room pictures don't show up on my computer so I was taking a guess based on what I read. Any other help would be appreciated. May-be a "jpg" of the room showing where to start and how to get there? Or detailed instruction on where to start?

Sorry to be a pain but this room is driving me crasy :~(

Once again I hate to be a pain but I can't figure out how you got to the starting point of your demo. Man do I feel stupid right now. I'm sure I am missing something so obvious but it's driving me crazy. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

I am going to throw my computer out the window .... grrrrrr.

OK, thanks both for the demos. The demos showed the ending per say not the begining. But my problem still exist. I am in the east chamber and can't make my way to the "X" where I should kill the first roach. What sword positions and movements am I missing? This has been my problem with this room from day 1. I am in the middle of the east chamber ..... what to do?

Thanks,
Jimmy

Or you could just right-click to see the x/y of squares until you find the spot. ;)
