In this room, you die pretty much instantly unless you kill the first giant you meet straight away. No need to dance around the room. I've solved the room killing the first giant on a pressure plate, and I've solved the room killing the first giant next to a pressure plate.

The important thing in my solution is:

I don't really understand the rabbits hint. I think she is giving a hint for the non-secret room. Please read the rest of the hints before deciding if you want to look at the picture!

The previous hints helped, but I cannot see how to kill golems both in the NE corner and on the nearest plate (as marked in the image). The same problem applies to the SW corner.

Sigh. This hold may be too hard for me.

Do them both at once after clearing out some of the other giants. Looking at my demo, I took care of those plates when I was down to two giants.

The key principle is that monsters can't step on your sword, so you try to block giants and golems with it on the turns that they move, using half-turns to reposition when needed.

The process I used:

Hi everyone, this is my very first post!
As far as the room is concerned, I really really really cannot solve it :weep .
I've tried many options, even following the hints you all gave here, but I couldn't do it.
It's been something like a month (on and off) trying to solve this room, could somebody post a demo? :lamo

I can't believe it, I finally made it!
Here there's the demo attached for any future delvers. Not the most optimal by any stretch, but still gets the job done

Hey, that's great! And welcome to the forum! :D

I built Complex Complex way back when. It's so fun to see it still being played!

(And sorry for some of the 'evil difficulty' rooms... back then, I might have had the view that all difficulty is fun difficulty in puzzle games :blush)
