Grr! I've sailed through this level only to find that the one room I can't get has apparently been solved by everybody else without so much as false move?

So what obvious wrinkle have I missed? My assumptions are ...

Decoys cannot be used as a barrier (in the one position that there is no gap between them the last wraithwing is trapped beyond Beethro's reach)

Both decoys must be used to give Beethro access to the enemy (ie they have to be placed in the top or bottom sections to which Beethro has no access).

Only Beethro can operate the switches that free the wraithwings.

Green doors cannot be used as a barrier.

In other words, killing the last wraithwing is impossible unless Beethro is able to teleport or call down divine wrath!

Well I thought that but I don't see how it can be positioned so as not to be simply slipped around as Beethro approaches.

They can't slip around an obstacle if they're being herded against it from a non-diagonal direction.

300 moves later I finally stumbled upon the correct shift. Thanks for the pointers.
