I can kill every monster, but when blowing up the rattlesnake, the door to the conquer token closes. It seems the rattlesnake has a wrong parity. If it were one move ahead, it would enter the (27, 29) square at the right time, and I could blow it up without triggering the orb.

The thing is that when I active the flaming chicken of death (aka Fegundo), I don't have any moves to spare. It always ends up blowing up on turns that the rattlesnake is on darker squares, but it should blow up on the other turns for the timing to work! What to do?

I have done this:

You're quite right that parity is the key. So the question becomes: how can I change the parity of the Rattlesnake?

This is actually the first definite assurance I've ever gotten that the room works as I intended. It took me the longest of all of them to build (cutscenes aside), and it was the one I was most nervous about at the time of the contest... *whew*. :) Any unintended solution would probably have come up by now, but even so.

Thank you for the explanation.I will see what I can do. I was using the last goblin indeed
for the pressure plate 22,6. The parity question was the problem.I will go back and take care of that
Thanks again

You're intended to re-enter below the force arrows. That's where my demo starts, anyhow.
