Tar Gate Stronghold : Tar Gate Explosions : 1 North, 3 East (0)

I start cutting the SE corner and go around clockwise. Beethro on outside, mimic inside. I end up 1 move late. I could cut the corners but then the mimic gets stuck.

Help me, help me, help me..

[EDIT: Removed my clever hint because it was wrong.]

Clockwise is good.

I think my strategy might be a bit different.

Thanks for asking for hints, Larry

It makes me go back to the rooms and get the first score.

×I place the mimic below the outer mud cirkle, in the right corner. I let it cut some mud before stepping on the fuse and makes sure it gets to the checkpoint while I run in to help clearing the mud.

You go man. There was one room I solved in many fewer moves because I happened to use a different strategy but I'm sure you can improve it.

EDIT: Removed the demo since I was so close.

Your start is the problem, your corner technique is perfecto.

To start try facing NE and start cutting at SE corner.

This is one of two required rooms which I haven't yet solved on this level.

I dunno... hints don't help me. It seems that I'm too bad with mimic manipulation. Can I please can have a demo of starting this room?
