I can't make progress. I can't allow the spawn to happen as mud, since then unreachable babies would happen. But there isn't time to turn the gel to mud, do anything lasting, and get back in time to turn the mud back to gel before the spawn. Can anyone help?

Errr... where would that be?

Not sure why philrennerts question got over to the 1 West thread so someone should move it 1 East. Would do it myself but don't know how.

As to your question, you need to

Well, that's because only moderators can do that. And actually, if we want to split a thread up, I think only Schik can do that. The best solution would be for philrennert1 to make a new thread or put a new reply in the correct thread, and then I can delete these posts.

Game on,

Hi, sorry about the thread problem, but I can't start a new thread, only post a reply, so this is the only way I can ask. No, I don't know why it doesn't work. All I can do is title it East so if someone searches, they'll see it.

Thanks, Briareos, but am I missing something? The gel blobs in the southeast and northeast corners are sealed in. If they're ever mud at spawning time, they generate mud babies in those sealed chambers and I can't clear the room. My problem is how to kill the mothers while running back each spawning time to make sure it's gel not mud.

There is a way to make the "mud baby makers" disappear. I'd recommend finding it, then finding a way to do it.

Tips:

Well, yes, I could make the mud baby makers in the NE and SE corners grow and fill up the 3x3 boxes - but not until I can get to the pressure plates, and that means going through the big gel areas.

How can I



If you mean the two loose babies, how does getting them out solve the problem?

Also, sorry about the topic name, but if you could change West to East in the subject, it would be less confusing than alternating Wests and Easts...

Try clicking on the pressure plates to see which door each one affects.

I need help on the part when you destroy the tar (gel) at the south west part of the room. Then I hit the tar/mud token and kill off some mud babies. Then they overwhelm me and I can't get out without some other mud babies trapped north of me when I step on the token. Is there a certen number or place you kill the golems on?

Well, I know that. but in witch area? I tried putting them in the sw area to protect myself from the tar babies when destroying the gel. I also treid other tactics like making a wall but that didn``t work. I treid all sorts of places like NW area. I think I should put them in the NE and SE area because there is walls blockin acess to the NE and SW babies. I`ll tri that later

It's different for each, ummm, "spike" of the "X".

Thanks. I`ll try that today, but it,s not possible to block 3 of 4 corners of every blob unless you have amazing golem manipulation skills.

Eh, it needn't be perfect.

To be honest, when I played throug this room I simply closed off all spawn points in the center and the NE and SW corners, plus a few more in the other two corners.

If you wait until right after the spawn before stepping on the gel/tar token in the NE corner you'll almost be at the tar/mur token when the next spawn happens.

Just make sure there's not more than about 16-20 or so babies spawned per turn at first or you'll have a hard time mopping everything up.

Also, you can park golems on an orthosquare-pair between two golem corpses, and can still run across them if you point your sword at them.

np: C.J. Bolland - The Tower Of Naphtali (Electronic Highway)
