Re: The City Beneath : Frozen Depths : 2 North, 3 West (0)
Well. Same is happening as described above. Whenever I try to complete this room from the north first (as the Challenge stipulates), the Stalwart dies on the 10th turn after the first spawn. This is because he is faced with the following configuration:
S
|
BB
No baby is within his reach, so he moves forwards to stab one baby and is immediately killed by the other.
What sequence of moves, GIVEN BEETHRO ON THE NORTH SIDE (i.e. no answers saying "just go from the south side instead" will be considered adequate), is needed to make this not happen?
In any case, the combination of arrows, green doors and black doors would seem to present another problem:
The two tar babies in the west, behind the western black door, require ALL the outside tar to be cleared to get to them.
While they are alive, the green door east of the tar mother remains closed. (As do the green doors holding the western babies in, so the only way in to them is through the black door.)
The force arrows will let somebody into the tar mother area, but not out. So once you're in there, if there are any tar blobs left outside on either north or south, there is no way out.
So you have to destroy all four tar blobs, the two on the north AND the two on the south (and hit both orbs to open the yellow doors.)
I have, however, been unable to do this without the tar mother expanding to fill all the available space, except for the one square occupied by the Stalwart.
Which means that when you cut the tar to get in to the tar mother, one of the tar babies is behind him, and kills him before he can move.
How do you get around this dilemma as well? I do not believe it is possible to clear ALL of the external tar on both sides, and still have room to get into the tar mother's area before she grows to fill the whole room.
