If only you had a guard to work with! Unfortunately, you only get a soldier, and like Stalwarts, they have a tendency to get them selves stupidly killed by monsters when going around corners.

Which is pretty much why I kept this simple by only really using one mirror.

I am totally baffled by this room.

I have read the previous hints, but they are not helping at all. I even tried the exact solution posted above, but my guard dies regardless.

Is there something basic I am missing here? No matter what I do, the guard simply marches southward, ignores the spiders, and is killed by them. He behaves as if he is unaware of them and does not even attempt to kill them. Nothing I do with the mirrors seems to change this. Even completely blocking off one of the two spiders just results in the guard marching south and being killed by the other.

What am I missing here? I am playing the Steam release of the game.

Thanks.

The soldier is trying to kill the spiders, he's just bad at going round corners.

The key to dealing with this is a mechanic that wasn't really dwelt on in the main game. When you use a soldier horn, the soldier enters facing the same way as you. Also, despite the symmetry of the room, he targets the eastern spider first.

This means you should

Both slimm tom's and bwross's positions for the mirrors are valid solutions.
