I have no doubt that I am missing something obvious, but how can I get more than one vertical space between me and the mimic without using the trapdoor alcove straight away?

I assume I need to avoid using the alcove at the start, or I won't be able to get the roach out.

Also, why can't I find the secret in the crumbly level?

This isn't really a room spoiler, so much as it is a game mechanic which not everybody is familiar with.

What I normally do to obtain 2 squares of vertical separation between Beethro and the mimic in this room (which is helpful) is to first put the mirror in the corner and push the mimic off of that to get one vertical square, then do something like this:
w...
wm\.
wo.B
wwww

wm\.
w..B
wo..
wwww

wm..
w\..
woB.
wwww


Blocking the mimic with Beethro's sword allows for a second push and achieves the necessary separation.

Also, why can't I find the secret in the crumbly level?

That's because you aren't looking hard enough. Pay attention when you're solving the rooms - a bomb might help you spot where the secret path lies.

This is my last room before mastery and I don't quite understand it... I get the idea, but the execution, I have no idea.
