The defenses are working. While I can guide the green baby past the first defense, he has me caught with those alternating doors and I can't seem to get him far enough away to get through. And I can't see any other course of action right now. I've considered whether I can trap him on the blue/green changeover but that doesn't seem possible either...

It did. Kind of a cheat since there is no reason for Chaco to help me out after that point.....

Hey, Chaco's not perfect...he's trying to stop you, but he can be kind of short-sighted sometimes.

That's why I say kind of - the puzzles in this hold are excellent and I am really enjoying figuring them out.

Thing is he doesn't actually help - he makes the room impossible by blocking access to the last baby.

He just struggles with which way to stop you is the best one at a given moment

×I'd rather that Beethro can force Chaco to triggering the second change somehow so that I have to think it through.

If you proceed immediately to cut the tar before shutting the door to the tar/gel switcher, Chaco switches the tar to gel again and makes the room impossible.

Well excelent hold, but this puzzle really puzzles me, I can not get past the so called first defence, as Chaco always blocks the gel baby passage. how can I trick him not to do it ??

If the first defense is the two doors at the bottom right of the chamber,

×you need to draw the gel baby toward the left side to convince Chaco to close it, move beneath the gel baby and draw it up through the right hand door.

Thanks, got it now ...
