Oookay. So there doesn't seem to be a handbomb anywhere in this whole level, and 357th bricklayer is waaay too tough to kill with any of the available weaponry, but the H&S map does show a few rooms beyond this room.

Does anyone have any hints on what to do here? :? (Besides chickening out, that is...)

np: Bomb The Bass - Butterfingers (feat. Fujiya And Miyagi) (Future Chaos)

I don't suppose there's a hint that could be attached here, thus serving all the people who make it to this room and are similarly dazzled by an expected damage of ~45000?

If not, I could use that PM :)

Oh, hang on, passed. My hoarding behaviour is finally rewarded.

Edit: I'm reminded of goblin behaviour - initially I thought I couldn't step next to one without hitting or being hit, but experimentation showed that this wasn't true. For this challenge, all you need is supplied on this level. Perhaps some experimentation is called for?

Also: PM sent.

I don't see a reason why hints for this room should only be given out by PM. If there really is one, please let me know and I'll delete the (vague) hints I will be giving below.

You say you don't even have enough attack to initiate the fight.

If that is the case I'm afraid you're pretty much screwed.
But it really is not that big a problem. Restoring to the beginning of Rule 8 and trying around a bit will probably do the trick.

You don't need the lucky blade?

Huh. I was sure too lazy to not use it, though.

Yeah, I fell for the same thing. Only I got a hint from the h&s about it's existance. Couldn't they change it to purple or red or something?

I'm confused, I have everything, I think I missed the one attack gem on the door walking level. But I have tried the lucky blade and it doesn't give me enough attack. And it only brings extra rep. I'm not quite sure how that helps with the game anyway.

Can some one explain it to me?

The lucky blade gives you double greckles, not double rep. (Or maybe it gives both, I don't remember.) edit: it's only double greckles, not like it matters in the main hold of course

That first secret box, second item, I have not seen; the rest I think I am clear on. I would appreciate, though, perhaps an 'attitude' hint: should I not be worrying here about preserving HP for post-Rule 8 life? [I arrive at Rule 8 w/ 6500 HP, 3300 greckles (which sounds low compared to some; I may not have been optimal here?), 339 attack/130 defense. I am guessing that there's no way *not* to lose the wyrm smiter that I bring in?]

Taking into consideration that you'll end up in the same place that you'd been if you had exited level 7 via the main stairs - no.

I'm afraid not...

Thanks. Just arrived at 357th bricklayer, but I *did* succumb to the temptation of using haste on the gel babies, and now I wonder whether I should not have done so. I have my invisibility potion in hand, but... even if I had both to use, I wouldn't make a dent in this guy.

...well, anyway, I shall ponder :-(. Confused!

EDIT: OK, I guess I would officially like a hint. I'm pretty sure that I have not missed any crumbly walls. I'll go ahead and try the invisibility potion, but that wouldn't answer the question of what is needful about an item slot :-(.

Actually about that, I forget. After drinking an invisibility potion and taking someone out do you turn visible again?
