In 1S4W, the one-space-wide yellow door that Beethro has to stand on is closer to the pressure plate. He can keep the baby on the pressure plate with his sword and then make a dash for the yellow door, stepping onto it an instant before it closes.

Clearly that is not possible here.

What can keep the mud baby on the plate so that both Beethro clones can make it to the left side of the door?

No I still don't see quite how to do it.

Perhaps I am missing something really obvious, a bigger clue - or better a demo would help. This is the last room for this level for me and although I don't need to finish it, it would be good for completeness sake

That's not quite correct. There is a place you can trap the mud baby so that it can get to the plate later.

I have spent ages trying this and can't get the baby to stay put and manouevre both Beethros to the end. Can I have a more specific hint please?

Sounds simple but I really can't do it. I can only keep mud baby on north east square with clone next to it but then clone gets stuck or killed every time I try to move it. Does anyone have a demo? I'm getting desperate. :weep

You need to use the other clone to keep the mud baby away. Two swords, side by side, make a wall.

The first step is getting a clone on the plate, where he will stay until you're ready to close the door. You want the mud baby to the east of him when that happens. The other clone needs to be in a position where the stationary clone on the plate can shield him while he moves around to the blocking position.

To do that, you build a sword wall...
