Help me, help me.

I think starting in the middle is no good. Starting in the SW corner did ok, but I don't know if I'd ever solve this.

Hmm - I feel like I'm missing something pretty obvious. Best I can do is get down to two Aumtlich, and then I'm stuck. Any more hints?

Ah, yes, that did it For anyone else stuck here: basically I was handling the snakes wrong. Kill the SW Aumtlich with your sword pointing north on turn 3, and stay at the bottom row so that the snake on your right runs into a dead end.

Could somebody help, based on the conversation, (e.g larry thanking "both") some of the replies have obviously disappeared. Blondbeard said to start in the sw corner of the middle, I assume that means body killing the lich at 15,9. I think this can only be done if the hook is NE and the snakes both move horizontally, then the slayer moves anticlockwise and East, killing 2 liches to leave this position. Is this right, if so how do I go from here?

Edit: from there I think I need to turn AC and then S to kill another 2 liches, but then I'm stuck.

Edit 2, never mind got it. Need to time the snakes exactly,

The strategy suggested later is what worked for me: start in the SW, facing north, and kill the aumtlich when the timer is on 3. Stay in the bottom row and one snake will die immediately.

If you need some moves from there:
