The Goblin : Inner Defenses : 1 East (0)

Wubba manipulation stumped me. I'm entering from the south and I'm having trouble finding a way to keep the goblin alive and avoiding wubba blockage when leaving the area after striking the orb.

Re: The Goblin : Inner Defenses : 1 East (0)

I am obviously missing something here too obvious here , but for the life of me cannot understand how to manipulate the goblin in this case. I have reached square 19,18 and the goblin is in 21,21 which is indeed south of me, but for this to work the goblin needs to be in 18,21 or something. Now all I can do is get killed by the goblin , or kill it as I want to strike the orb ....

please help me ?

Edit : Wow that was cool , the fastes H&S effect I had as I can remember , nevermind my stupidity :lol

×1. Enter the room
2. Go through a newly opened section and open up a new exit, making sure the Goblin survives.
3.Somehow make your way through the green door and out the new exit
4. Repeat until an opputunity to kill the goblin and escape comes up, guessing that will take many repetitions of this loop.

Yup!

Any hints? Thanks.

Giving hints on here is pretty hard, but let me see what I can do:

Ultimately, it should be trapped in the middle square of the 3-square-tall door above all of the bombs.

Is it the intended solution?

Seems like a lot of effort to me. The solution I described is fairly easy (which is probably why I found it first, and never went looking for any other solutions).

Well, only Jacob can say for sure.

Any hints about the room when approaching from the N entrance?

The goblin has to somehow get out of bomb explosion range, but wubbas are in the way.

Entering room from the E entrance. Blue doors are suddenly down, even though the goblin is alive. I know the goal is to open the W door, but how?

Attached is Beethro's current position.

OK figured out that I need to do a few more entrances/exits. The goblin can be dead this time through though, which is nice.

Re: The Goblin : Inner Defenses : 1 East (0)

I'm entering from the east, and from the other posts I'm guessing it'll be safe to kill the goblin now. Unfortunately I can only kill him after I reach the mimic, otherwise he gets trapped in the arrow maze in the NE corner of the room.

In the goblin / Beethro chamber, I managed to hit the first few orbs without killing the goblin, but I just can't reach the NE orb without the goblin being farther than a step behind me. I'll attach a screenshot of the orb I'm talking about.

Where should I try to direct the goblin to get the most distance between him and me for this orb? I tried the little chamber in the west and the one to the south with the save point, but neither did much good.

edit: nevermind, I figured it out.

Check your assumptions! Have you confused a blue sister gate with a green sister gate?

Re: The Goblin : Inner Defenses : 1 East (0)

I don't think so. I've already been to 2 East, so the blue gates in this area are up, blocking the previously save squares. The green gate at (34,7) is up, and it needs to stay up or else I can't hit the orb at (34,11) and get out!

My goblin dies on the hot tiles too at this point, and it isn't a problem.

That's not how you're going to get out this time.

When can I kill the goblin? I'm currently entering from the SW with the blue doors down, and I'm not sure what I'm allowed to do.
