I am completely lost on that room. Tried numerous things but either I or my companion gets killed. In any case he never stays long enough on the pad that raises the yellow bars. Any tips?

Hi, it's been a few years but I have returned through the magic of Steam DROD!

...several of these GatEB challenges have driven me up walls, and this is not only the latest but also the one that I think is going to stick the most as something I can't figure out unaided.

* For the challenge, I have to forgo the bomb and the horn, which means I have to kill all the guards with my sword. I liked the easy way much more.
* There's three or four turns possible before I have to take the tunnel, and I can start with my sword pointed east so I can start charging right away.
* But then after a few kills I find myself having to retreat more and more and not getting many kills for the amount of ground I have to give up.
* I can't just use the hallway with the bomb trap plate because the guards bunch up and won't make room for somebody to pass until I retreat and let someone come in with their sword aimed straight at me.

Do I just need to fight them in the open better until they are thin enough that I can manipulate them at the hallway? I guess I could make use of the bomb eventually as an obstacle but I fear swording it myself if I try that and/or not having nearly the room required by then to defeat the whole lot before they defeat me.

Edit: Hah, okay I did figure it out on my own but I might as well just mention one thing anyway for anyone else.
