I have struggled with this room on and off for more than a day to no avail.

I guess the golems must be killed in a way that delays the roach as much as possible but I am not there yet ...

So can anybody give us a hints/startegy on the proper formation
of rocks killed to get me going ?

Not helpful, I know, but this room is kind of the reason I never finished this hold. I did complete it during testing, but I really didn't like it. I'll try to look into it a bit now, though.

This one is a tough one to explain (and I'm a bit pressed for time) so I'm attaching a screen grab of a successful strategy. You don't have to re-create it exactly, but it should give you some ideas for ways you can add moves.

Here's something similar to noma's that worked for me. This should get you enough time. Basically for this room you want to make as circuitous a rout as possible. Making the roach do a basic "Z" shape seems a good way to do it. Structuring the rock piles to make the roach go to the bottom right corner, then to the bottom left, then to the top right should get the job done.

What's that? Oh yeah, I guess Challenge: Don't use the potion.
