Pleasant romp so far, but I'm getting a bit confused by this room.

I've managed to drop the trapdoor in the aumtlich chamber by trapping all of them on the mirrors, now what am I supposed to do? A gentle push would be greatly appreciated.

All 6 aumtlich must be stuck gazing at mirrors in positions such that when the 7th is released they will all end up traveling to the eastern bomb cove. (kaboom)

That makes so much sense I can't believe I didn't see it before.


Thanks!

During beta, this was widely acknowledged to be one of the hardest rooms in the hold. Believe me when I say there are a phenomenal number of ways to get this room wrong

There's something I don't get about this room (doh!): how am I supposed to drop the platform at (26,12)? I guess there's a trick somewhere, but it's eluding me... Thanks!

Erm, (26, 12) points to the force arrow above the disarm token, which is on a piece of solid land and can't be dropped...

Do you mean the trapdoor inside the Aumtlich chamber? That can be dropped in a correct manner by

No, I did mean (26,12)... which, on further inspection, is actually a regular, trapdoor-colored tile. Oops. Thanks for pointing that out to me, as I really believed in the trapdoor-nature of this tile...

OK, as far as I can tell, I can only get 5 autmliches looking at the mirrors, so the 6th one is going to be running around loose while I go around the outside. But the other autmliches will have to be positioned to stop the loose one from blocking my path. But if #6 is running around loose, it seems like he'll probably release some of the others, and I don't feel that confident in avoiding a bunch of them. Before I get the graph paper to try and plot this all out, are my assumptions accurate, or am I missing something?

You have three mirrors, and can pin six aumtlich to these three mirrors.

Since you're disarmed as you run around the outside ring, not a single aumtlich can be left loose.

All six aumtlich still have to be released when the red-door aumtlich is released, however.

OK, then the question is this. If I have one looking straight up at the upper left mirror, and one looking straight down at the bottom left, how do I get the red-door one to release both of them? Is getting hit with another aumtlich's eye beam enough to do it?

The red-door one doesn't have to release all the other ones.
There could be a kind of chain reaction, where A releases B releases C...
