I really wish I could help you with this room...it was one of those where I looked at it, said, "That's impossible!" and went ahead and tried a few times anyway. I think that the problem might be that you have to switch from running along the top of the room to guide the serpent to the side of the room, and/or vice-versa, at times that you might not think you would need to. But if you've gotten that far, then you probably already know that. I know that when I did beat it, I couldn't believe it...I was totally amazed, I think it was dumb luck. If that's any consolation, which it probably isn't.

Game on,

I found it quite easy, actually, Just remember that a serpent will always move towards you either horizontally or vertically, and if only one option is available, that's the way it goes. If you are directly behind it, it will go straight. At 1, you must be standing on the right side then go up at the right time. Then, wait at 2 so it will come towards you.

I believe that at a point earlier on, you can choose whethere you will be at the top or bottom. You need to be where you can strike the orb at the time, or the serpent will go up.

Great hold so far but i'm stuck at moving the snake where the other post shows 1 and 2. I've tried waiting on all the squares but to no avail. Can anyone give me any more explicit help for moving the snake around this bit?

Whoa... and there I thought that was one of the easy parts.

I just cant do the last bit. I have spent all night getting the serpent going round and round under the queen, but now I just cant use it to make the queen go along the arrows, it works on the first 2 then the queen eats the serpent! I am desperate for some help PLEASE.

In this room, the queen moves before the serpent, so you need her riding on the serpent's tail (rather than its head).

I'm just curious, why is the room in a different style in CSR's screenshot from the others?

Claythro's Tower is an Architect Edition hold using (I believe) the Slime style (at least for that room, anyways). This style was mapped to Iceworks in JtRH (which CSR's screenshot is playing), but was later mapped to Aboveground in TCB.
