I'm embarrassed to admit I'm completely flumoxed on this room.

1 marks the spot. I have tried everything I can think of even sleeping on it & I'm still dead meat. I'm beginning to think maybe I took the wrong route to this room. But I don't remember any multiple choices. Any hints or clues? Thanks!

That was definitely the tough place. I had to try it a long time until I got it. I even had to watch my demo to remember how I did it.

Here's a hint.

This is surely a difficult hold. From the beginning...

Thanks! I tried your approach previously without success but now I know it will work. I only need to figure out where I went wrong!

So far I've enjoyed playing this hold. I find it challenging without being completely frustrating.

×You have to walk over the checkpoint after hitting the orb, so you need to restore earlier checkpoint if you mess it up.

For those of us who are clearly mentally impaired..could you guys be a /bit/ more obvious?

I'm assuming I'd be getting that one up there at the top first, then turning around, but I'm not sure. Which one should I actually be aiming to clear?

It's also that I cannot find any combination of moves that does not result in me being trapped by two roaches.

Or I can get it completely by accident. That works too. :o

It's not really your fault that you are finding it tricky.

When I built this room, I completely randomized the roaches, so it will not be inherently obvious how the roaches will move. It is therefore very specific, so I apologise for that.

You will need to use some pretty advanced stepping:



See if you can finish it from there.

Your goal is...

Position (1)? Luxury! I can't even get past (2)



Any hints, please?

This is rather tricky.

I don't quite remember how I did it, but I suggest using the orb for cover and fending off roaches. I'll go watch my demo and get back to you.

Thats such an easy solution! I love this room and have used it to show people how the game works. That box always bothered me because i never could remember my solution without a few tries even after doing it several times. Anyway, my alternate solution involves hitting the orb facing SW and then doing a little dance. (Just in case you're looking for a different and more difficult/fun solution )
