How to get past the five slayers in the bottom three-wide corridor? No sword direction or choice of moves can get me beyond the third slayer -

Thanks -

You've done the hard part, just walk past the last two slayers. Remember, when Beethro is close by, a slayer has different movement rules. He doesn't keep following his wisp. Instead, he steps or turns or stops in order to maintain his defense or attack, if absolutely safe. In this room, it's best to stop wasting time with trial and error and start thinking about slayer movement patterns. Also, it's easier to walk past each one separately, without letting them bunch up.

Some different ways to walk past slayers:

If only. I cannot pass the third slayer, because he stubbornly stays in the middle of the three-wide pathway. I can walk by the first two, and I can see where the last two can be duped as well . . . but the middle one is clearly of a higher order of intelligence.

Than me, anyway.

I'm guessing my vague hand-waving depiction of my problem doesn't give much to work on. Here, then, is a demo of what's going on here . . . I can get seven moves deep, and #8 is a killer.

Any hints are welcome.

Thanks -

ok, there's many possible ways to clear this room, so try not to lock yourself up on one way to clear it. You can't get through the room without turning your sword.
