Ello everybody. There seems to be a similiar topic on forum (concerning the same room) but nevertheless I cannot work it out. It\'s the second room I cannot get through in the game without your help (the first one was on Level 15, but I guess it\'s not a shame to ask).
Allright, to the point.
I can quite easily get one goblin to serpents, OR two goblins to the right area of trapdoors (after having completed the left one) - but I cannot seem to outmanuever the goblin while I\'m in serpent\'s area (only one goblin) or, take two goblins with me thru the trapdoors.. They always kill me whatever I do..

Any help? Keyboard movements? (Kinda hard to provide it in THAT case I guess) Or preferably..
Demos?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Caution this is a complete spoiler.

Going to assume that you have a single goblin in the top right corner.

Ello again!

Finished the game today.
Brilliant ending

Managed to find all three secret areas (level 4, 12, 15)
I\'m so happy right now
Sometimes little things are enough to give a man happiness

Well, anyway, thanks for all your help.
Without it, I wouldn\'t be here today

OK, I know the message is a bit off-topic but spare me

Hmm.. If someone would post/send me a demo of getting two goblins thru the trapdoors, I would be eternally grateful

Thanks again

He means the right hand corner puzzle as opposed to the left hand 1. The goblin will always be to the east of you when you are on the force arrow,then follow the directions posted earlier.

I'm not sure that I understand exactly why "getting past the 2 force arrows" has you stumped, but I'll make a couple of suggestions/hints:



If you find that unhelpful post back here again.

Problem in this room:
okay, I need to bring both goblins to the snakes to suicide them, but, after ending the left trapdoor area, I can't move the goblin on the passage to right trapdoor: they block the passage and I can only kill one of them or let them to kill me!
The only way to complete the left trapdoor is to be the last on exit from that area, so goblins are both ahead to me.

3 days blocked on this damned passage from left to right trapdoor (I already hate them since previous levels!), please help!!!

Actually, it's perfectly possible (and indeed, intended) to keep both goblins alive.

Okay, I believe I NEED to keep them alive, but please say me how can I move them starting from this position after west trapdoor is solved...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Gas75 will be able to see your image without a CaravelNet membership...

At least I can't see it if I log out of the forum...

I've just watched my demo of this room and I did do it with one goblin. It may be, as Chaco says, that the intention was that we should use both, but it is much easier manipulating just one goblin.

Only a goblin? Okay, sure easiest to solve part 1 of the room (trapdoors), but I simply ask you how can you use him to block the first snake and let him to move out to second snake without kill or be killed by the goblin.

Yes, that bit is quite non-obvious...

That should do it.

Thanks Briareos, finally I did it!

Probably level 23 will be my last: too hard for me... 1 East room is also impressive for me.

Well, that's what this forum is for - so don't be afraid of asking...

But then again, there's already three posts for that room...

np: Jah Wobble, The Edge & Holger Czukay - Snake Charmer (I Could Have Been A Contender (Disc 2))

Of course, but I prefer to try a lot of times before ask an help... Often I find the right way to myself.
