I can clear everything except the three cubicles in the corridor 2nd from the bottom. Once I hit the orb, it's time to die. Am I going about this the totally wrong way? I've spent a lot of time on this room after finding the rest of them on this level weren't too bad.

BTW, 1N 1W is a piece of cake if you It never occurred to me to do it that way in Webfoot DROD.

Never mind, I went back and completed it straight away.

See if this helps (I'm not very good at giving hints for this level because I hate it myself, but...)

Aww...as I pointed out in my Replaying DROD thread in the General board, now that I've had to fight through all the crazy brain rooms in the user made holds, levels 20 and 21 are practically cakewalks. And considering some of your rooms, Wesley, I am surprised you hate this level.

Game on,

They are easy in their own right, once you get the hang of Brain-controlled roach behaviour, but sometimes can be a little bain in the backside when you underestimate just how many moves you have left before the one behind you gets you. I probably over-exaggerated a bit when I said "hate" - I was just feeling a little impatient when I posted it.

×Time the opening of the doors carefully to avoid extra spawn coming out when you open the door. Also, try hitting the orb with your sword pointing North to get an advantage in orientation to fend off the roaches to the north of you before the ones to the east reach you. You can use the orb to defend you as well.

I am also having trouble with these three last cubicles. I can't seem to find a safe spot. I can get up to the top chamber, but my sword is pointing North, leading to certain death. If someone can give another clue, I would be grateful.
