Well, I can't figure it out. I have limited ability to maneuver the mimic without the nests, and if the nests are around the skippers will pile up. And I can't clean up the skippers at the end because the mimic gets blown up by the bomb in the process of letting me leave.

What's the trick here?

So kill the skippers before blowing mimic up... There isn't any neat trick which makes it easy though

Okay, I worked out the technique for the north side. Not sure how I'm going to handle the south yet, as I can't get horizontally aligned with the skippers.

Here's how I handled the north, the basic idea for the south is going to be similar but I'm not sure on the details yet:

Edit: Got it. South is the same general idea, but the exact technique is different.
