HELLO...Did you think I had given up? Nooooo.... ( )but almost..
Well: I’ll tell you what I’ve learnt about this island (this reminds me of a song I listened to many years ago: “what did you learn in school today? dear little boy of mine..? Pete Seeger, I think) =
• I learnt I can free the mimic and the fegundo very easily (even without the mirrors)
• I figured out that I need one mirror to press 11, 24 force arrow, and the 9, 23 roach to press the 12, 25 force arrow.
• I think I’ll have to use the fegundo to kill the two remaining south -west roaches
• I think the 28, 15 roach can be killed as the last one alive, with the mimic. To achieve this I think I shall have to step onto the 9, 11 pressure plate to free the roach, not being able to make any other movements but still controlling the mimic’s sword
• I learnt the fegundo can’t press the pressure plates unless it explodes against something, and for this, I can’t use it to either press the northern pressure plates, or kill the north west roach
• I learnt I can’t go to 25,4 (needed to open the 9, 23 yellow door) without pressing the 11, 6 position
• And last, but not least, as I can’t go to the northern vital positions, I can’t kill the 8,7 roach , and can’t free the 9, 23 roach and can’t go on (it’s like going in circles)
• I humbly learnt I need help ( )

I think the 28, 15 roach can be killed as the last one alive, with the mimic.

I don't think it should be killed last.

I learnt the fegundo can’t press the pressure plates unless it explodes against something, and for this, I can’t use it to either press the northern pressure plates, or kill the north west roach

Part of this is true, part of this is false

I learnt I can’t go to 25,4 (needed to open the 9, 23 yellow door) without pressing the 11, 6 position

Then press 11,6 pressure plate!

I can’t kill the 8,7 roach

No, you can!

Oh, My...!
I feel like Luke trying to get the shuttle out of the swamp!! (“Step on that pressure plate, you mustn’t…...” Yoda said.)
But there’s something I don’t quite understand, master: “No you can”, you answered to me (Is it “No”? or is it “you can”? )
Whatever...
I’ll keep trying, Promise!
May the Force be with me…!

I meant that "you can't kill roach at 8,7" part of your post is wrong and that you can kill that roach(well, obviously - otherwise room would be impossible). Added comma to avoid confusion(hopefully).

Hello, my friends.
This is the summary of my situation:
Either I develop a method to walk over "troubling" waters, or the faithful fegundo accepts to explode by its own, even without an obstacle. I can' t see another option to open the 9,22 yellow door by pressing the north-east pressure plate. Oh, yes... I must have not seen the way to make one of the roaches swim and make me the favour, but this is it...and I'm, completely, totally, thoroughly STUCK! (the picture is my last position, showing I haven't been able to open both the (22,8) and (9,22) yellow doors)

Attached img of position you should archieve in order to open 22,8 door(from that position, just move south once).

Requesting two small hints.
1) How do you get the roach originally at 28,15 to the PP at 12,25?
2) How do you activate the PP at 28,10?

Pic shows my progress so far.
