I keep telling myself this room just can't be as skull-defacingly tedious as it looks; but I can't find the twist ending.

Lately I've been trying to find/make a hiding place behind the rubble from the two early rock golems, but with no success. Should I instead just follow the serpent tail, quietly cursing the name and extended family of whoever came up with wubbas, and picking off the monsters as they're released? And if that's the solution, are the following levels really good enough to justify solving this room?

Unfortunately... it is that tedious. You really do just have to plough through, keeping the wubbas out of your way.

This really really wasn't one of my better rooms!

I did it by keeping up the pace with the tail and didn't waste any time hiding. Keep trying!

Thanks; I guess I'll try a few dozen more times then. I think my real problem here is that I find it impossible to predict what a mélange of wubbas and goblins is going to do even one turn away.

IMO, I thought this was one of the harder rooms, but I liked how while at first it was vital to distract the wubbas by skipping corners, later, you used the army you collected to protect attacks from behind.
