Let's see... you need the roach queens and their spawn to help block the aumtlich's gaze, but you don't want to get attacked from behind.
So, before the first spawn, I killed queens in that order. Next queen to die was

Thanks CuriousShyRabbit, you always seem to be coming to my rescue, the first part is as I did it, same order as you, my mistake was going for the other side next, will keep going.

Could someone post me a demo please? I get down to one roach one wubba in bottom left hand corner and its the wubba that follows me in not the roach. Is there some trick I'm mising?

Thanks

It's all right the magic worked - I had forgotten the clever trick (well not so clever really I was just being dumb!)

I am stuck with the following situation. Beethro is at 1, wubba at 2, roach at 3, rays coming from 4 and 5. I am despairing. How do I get in the corner and kill the last roach?

So the roach at 3 is the last roach?

Oh dear! I just can't get to there. I can get rid of all of the queens except either the one at SE or the one at SW. And that means, as I see it, that I can't move into the final save position. When I get hold of these aumtlichs I am going to strangle them. Can someone please take pity on me and show me how to do it? I would be so grateful.

I received two replies—thank you very much—following my request above but they had reverted to something I asked at Level 9 in JTRH. I have done more work here and managed to despatch the final queen but still without success. I am attaching a demo of my predicament and would be elated if someone can tell me what I'm doing incorrectly—PLEASE.

You're not stuck - keep going.

See if you can take it from there...

I'm stuck & can't see the room image so all the chat about queens, 3,2,1, & 6 isn't helping me. I'm unable to kill 2 of the queens. I killed 4 queens in the following order: 1 NE, 1 NW, then the NW queen in the corner of the wall. Then the SE queen in the corner of the wall. I then can't kill the queen at the SW wall. I know I had trouble with a similiar room but can't remember the level. I'm thinking my wubba handling is to blame. Please, I need either a demo or an image I can see. TIA

I don't have a CaravelNet membership anymore and I don't think I have a demo, but you can Quote Reply the post in question and the image URL will contain human-readable coordinates of each point they're talking about.

×Move Beethro to the X. The wubba will go onto the open yellow door and that is not a problem.

×Swing your sword around to kill the brain, which will close that door.

×Then move Beethro SE and go after the aumtlich. While you're doing that, you can lure the wubba off the door back into the area with the two roaches.

See if you can take it from there...

I must be dumb, because I can't even get Beethro onto that checkpoint...

I've read the hints, but just can't figure out how to move beyond the NW corner. I've attached a demo of my start, is this right? No matter what I do next I either have roaches on both sides or am trapped in two beams.

My last room to finish them all, I know it's been awhile since this was active but hoping someone sees who can help.

EDIT: Of course right after posting that I got it! And I see I was off to the wrong start.

Help please, How can I kill the brain and Aumlichts without getting stuck un the outside loop? I have tried luring the Wubba without success and I can see no way to lure a roach.
I haven't got much hair but what I have got is being pulled out.
Thanks

When you stand at your point 1, there should be exactly 5 other things left alive: the brain, 2 aumtlichs, the wubba, and
You don't need to lure anything in with you, just have them nearby:
There are faster ways to do it, but if you're struggling then try to get in this position and then the final kill is easy:
