ARGHHHH !

Well , this is the last room left for me to master this incredible hold , and it is just too evil right now.

I have almost done it but always one move short, no matter what strategy I tried. I can get to the conquer token but then on the way back to the exit the briar catches me just on the square 10,23.
For reference I can get to the save point on (6,21) after 125 moves.

So I tried to use the bomb at 18,20 to slow that branch of the briar, but if I blow it at the latest time possible (which is after move 51) Its chain reaction can not be stopped by the briar (just by one move !) and I can not reach the conquer token.

It seems there must be another strategy, or some optimization I am missing, please give me just that little extra move ...

You'll need to use bombs to blow the briar out of your way to the exit.

Click here to view the secret text

×Specifically, stepping on the fuse at (4,22) will set off bombs at (8,22) and (9,26) that clear the way for you. You have to plan your route in to the conquer token such that you don't set off these bombs earlier.

Well then , thats exactly what I'm doing, but as I said I am one move short somehow. Here I'll attach the demon of my unfortunate death and maybe you could tell me where I've gone wrong ....

Edit :

Nevermind got it at last! an extra wait was what I missed ofcourse . Thanks again for all you help though !

Something is broken here. I came to this thread by searching for help on 1 North, 3 East. Clicking on the title in the first post also shows 1 North, 3 East, and not this secret room.

And I do need help on 1 N, 3 E, please! (C'mon, H&S effect...)

Edit: Yeah, that worked! I can't believe I hadn't seen last night that

i'm having trouble getting to the conquer token in 2n 3e. The best I can do is, I approach from the south, hit the token, but am one step away from avoiding the bomb (again heading south). Is my approach correct or should I be coming in from a different direction?

Hi, I struck on this level, because the eyes on the right side don't move, if i'm invisible. If i'm not, the queen goes behind the arrow, so that's not a good idea. What should I do?

Help for 1N 3E....

You need to change the briar growth rates so that the right (E) briar reaches the pressure plate to open the gate to the conquer token first.



HTH - More detailed hint if you need it
