I must be missing something obvious. The queens are stuck on force arrows and there doesn't appear to be a way to reach the queens. I don't see the point of the trap doors except to block roaches from different directions, What am I missing. Since this is the first request for a hint on this room it must be something easy and obvious.

Any hint would be appreciated.

The room is on a bridge. Drop all the trapdoors and the bridge will fall.

I have spent about 2 hours trying to get rid of all the trap doors without getting killed. Is there an order that is preferred in attacking the problem?

I have completed KDD and JtRH. I have enjoyed TCB so far but this is a very difficult and painful room. It is starting to no longer be fun. I guess I have never liked this kind of room. Any more hints would again be appreciated.

Thanks

Here's how you watch the demo:

1) Click on the demo file in Briareos' post.

2) Save it to the DROD directory on your computer. That might be something like: C:\Program Files\DROD - The City Beneath\Data\Homemade

3) When you're in this room in the game, press F6. From there, you should be able to import and watch Briareos' demo.

Could someone tell me how to import a demo on a Mac? F6 seems to have a different function. Also I am not sure where to place the demo file itself.

Many thanks.

To import demos in-game, you'll need to invest 10$/year or so which gives you access to high scores and lots of in-game features.

If you have a demo file though, you can save it anywhere and importing ought to be a case of hitting F6 to select a demo to import. At that point, just browse to where you saved the demo and import it from there.

What happens when you hit F6? If you have some other software running which binds that key it might be worth turning it off whilst you import the demo. As far as I'm aware, the Mac F key shortcuts are identical to the other versions...

Following a list of moves is actually quite a bit harder than following a demo. Believe me. I have done both before.

I believe if you look in the game help files it tells you how to step through a demo one turn at a time. I think it's by using the left or right arrow keys, but I could be wrong.

Looking at your scores, I'm not really sure why you're asking help for 4S 3E, anyway, because you... *do* have a score for it(aka you completed it)? Or maybe I'm too late.

But anyhow, since I have some free time I totally would like to spend on writing down moves from my demo, get the list of moves:

While I'm here... seeing your earlier posts here, you probably won't listen anyway, but:
1. Demos were made because they are slightly more convinient than lists of moves. Why you refuse to use them is beyond me;
2. You can't seriously expect people to waste time on writing down moves from their demos just because you can't bother to slow down demo at particular point(Jatopian's post above explains how to do it) and watch it more carefully. (I did it just because I really had lots of spare time on my hands);
3. ALL CAPS RAGE isn't going to get you anywhere.

Yeah, but next time he acts like this, someone'll give him a /nearly/ correct set of moves but change a W to an E somewhere.

I'd like, respectfully, to disagree with this. The move list form you have provided here is useful because you can see it, and follow along without going to the trouble of setting up two machines (which I have done in the past, for some very long troublesome rooms).

The particular master's trick I learnt by following the
moves verbatim, was the "5" allowing you to keep your place
and allowing the herd to get more dense around you.

ALL CAPS is frowned on, I agree.
