Arghh! I need help on this one! I can't figure out how to navigate down the long chamber on the west before the tar grows out of the previous (north) chamber & makes the passage impassable. I've tried returning to the north & hacking back the tar but, at least so far, eventually the distance is too far. Help!

wow, this room. I hated it.

anyways heres a little hint:

Wouldn't that west corridoor be so easy when there is no tar coming out that far north passage?

If that hint didn't help, then..

Thanks! Ya know, I thought of that but figured I really shouldn't have to do that. I guess I should have tried it! Learned something new, so far I've been successful by being fairly aggressive--going after the worst bad guy by the quickest route. Well I'm off to conquer!

I challenge everybody to do this without clearing all tar in the north chamber. I don't have time to test it right now, but let me know if it's possible.

Oh, come on, Erik, please? Just this once, I promise! He's not a newbie anymore, so it's okay, right?

Game on,

This is not the spirit of challenges. The point is to do it yourself first, and then challenge other people to do what you did.

edit: Whoa, someone modded this down after 7 months?

Red Hawk, I believe that this extremely obvious display of lack of care towards someone else's comment is going to make it worse. If you've upset someone, don't say something like what you did, because it sounds arrogant. Just apologise and avoid doing things like this in the future.

Oh, and DiMono, don't be too hard on someone else because of a repeated mistake. Flame once, but not too many times, please. I really do think putting "Flame" in capitals in +2 font size ten times with five exclamation marks is just taking it too far. Consider how people feel about such an over-obvious display like this. What if someone were to "flame" you for being too over-zealous?

Well I don't like to put my oar in but it seemed to me as Red_Hawk issued the challenge, though hadn't done it, then a couple of people jokingly flamed and he said he'd get round to it... no-one seemed that upset to me

Just my two-pennies worth

I'd take it as tongue-in-cheek, as I intended mine to be given the recent thread on the general board. I mean, seriously, if that were the best flame I could come up with I just wouldn't have put anything

You don't want to know. I just did it, but it involved pushing the tar back to the point where I could have removed it all and intentionally leaving it alone. You're better off removing all the tar.

You have to remove all the tar in the first chamber anyway. Removing all the tar in the second chamber is actually easier, especially with that new-fangled checkpoint thingie. We didn't have those things in my day and we liked it like that.(Actually, I thought it sucked, but what could you do. )

Even more scary, it's possible to do this room without clearing any areas completely from tar at all. It took me almost an hour to do though, so I'd wait until after conquering KDD before tackling that challenge.
