Well I conquered the bats (OK, OK wraithwings) & a hard slog it was. (I eventually created a room with 1 ww in it to experiment with driving & following. I still hate those little b......s.)Now the roach queen in this room has me stumped. How the heck can I get at it? A clue please I've tried hatching & not. I've considered re-starting the room but can't see how any additional foes will help the situation.

The little corkscrew passage right after the orb door below the force arrows makes it really hard for the roach queen to get down to you in that chamber. Perhaps there's another location where could hack at that queen?

Okay, now I really feel stupid.
I think I got the hint and will try again.

Thanks for the help,
Jim

×I have a total of 10 goblins in section 8 trying to trap the queen.

With the method I used to clear this room, it seems to me that jjohn7418 will have to start the room over again. Is there another, more clever approach to the roach queen problem?

×I used all 18 goblins to keep her from reaching the force arrows. Very tedious, and embarrassing for me if there is an easy way.

That was the same method I used, but I do believe there is an easier solution (I haven't tried yet).

I've cleaned all subrooms around, a goblin is trapped in central subroom... Reading posted tips, need I restart the room? I think I can't solve it now...

Thanks.
