Museum Of Ooze : Floor 3 : 1 South (0)

Here's what I assume I'll have to do:

However, it just doesn't seem possible to do the west side. I can get babies to the east side, but Beethro is pushed closer to the babies each spawn, and then I am forced to kill them.

×1. Get babies stuck in the mud.
2. Beethro and the mud babies have to be separated from each other with mud.
3. Beethro has to be at the east side of the room, and the babies at the west.

Well, your assumptions are all correct, for the most part.

You need a line of babies all the way down the left side of the room.

Doing this is possible, but...well, it's really hard. Even after watching a demo it took me a very long time to get it right. Maybe I'm just slow, though...

You might want to work on separating a piece of mud from the mass on the left. If you can figure out how to do that properly, the room becomes a lot easier.

Josh

Well Thanks for your hints Guys, specialy Yours Josh, I am heartened by the fact that I got lucky in the end and managed to do it using your hint about seperating a piece of mud without a demo.... This is definitly the most devious mudbabies room Of Larrys I have stumbled upon to date.

Arggh. So having successfully separate a piece of mud, I seem to be able to grow it to various shapes, move it around etc. but am unsuccessful in creating the line of babies on the left wall. Help in the form of a hint as to what to do next will be greatly appreciated before I create a large hole in the wall and have a bruised forehead. Oh that Larry Murk does make you think a lot.

To create the line of babies, you'll need to cut mud right on the spawn.

Something like this worked for me:

Move Beethro north right on the spawn.

Thanks. I'll keep working on it. And done (a mere 24 hours later)!

Re: Museum Of Ooze : Floor 3 : 1 South (0)

My problem in this room is more elemental. I understand what needs to be done, and I read the previous hints, but I still do not understand what separating a piece of mud means, let alone how to do it or how to begin creating a line of mud babies. If anyone could provide further hints to get me underway I would be very appreciative.

In this hold, larrymurk was merciful by stacking rooms with similar tricks on top of each other. If you solved Floor 2 1S, then you can start this puzzle.

Ok, I am probably just exceptionally dense today, but I don't get it. In L2 1S I created babies by

. But here, I cannot create any type of separation between the mud babies and myself, therefore not being able to maneuver at all without killing the baby. Please help me a bit more!

Use mud growth on the spawn to help you trap babies.

×To trap my first baby, I separated the mud (block, wait, cut, repeat) to create a situation like this:

MMM
MMM MM
MM MMM
MM MMM
MM

Then I cut it and blocked the baby with Beethro's sword like this:

MM
MM  MM
MMbMMM
MM\MMM
MM B

That baby was trapped by the next spawn.

Ok, finally. Thank you for the tips. I know I am DROD-rusty, but that was positively evil...

My opinion is that this room is the hardest of the hold. At least, it gave me the most trouble...

When I do this, or what I think this is meant to be, I end up with Beethro surrounded by uncuttable mud walls. So, for the slow people in the audience (me) how do you separate inseparable mud sections again?

(I think I get the rest of the room . . .

Thanks . . . and this is one heck of an ego-diminishing room. I thought I knew something about dealing with babies, but I wouldn't have gotten through without this hand-holding.
