King Dugan's Dungeon 2.0 : Seventh Level : 3 North (0)

I guess maybe it's because I'm new with the serpents, but I just can't figure out how to kill the one in the one in the upper right corner of the room. All of the other ones I can handle, but I can't get that one. Anyone have a hint?

Check what all the orbs do. They don't necessarily affect just one door.

And remember that if an orb permanently closes a door, perhaps you don't want to hit it too soon.

See my attached annotated screenshot.

I definitely mapped out what all of the orbs do, and I still can't seem to kill the serpent in the upper right. I've attached a screenshot with orbs marked with what they do (green lines mean the orb opens doors, red lines mean they close doors, in this case, no orb toggles any doors). The serpent circled in blue is the one I'm referring to.

The only possible way to kill the serpent I've identified is by hitting the orb in the middle of the room (circled in purple) before the serpent crosses the block it closes at the top (also circled in purple). But I can't do it fast enough. I'm always two moves too slow to get it done. Is there some other way of killing the serpent that I should be focusing on?

You can kill it against the door in the middle at the very top (coming from the left), if I remember correctly

True. I had a look at the other hint topics for this room, and they all suggest that method.

The method I was hinting at is: Don't run for that orb, I said you might not want to hit it too soon. Wait until the serpent has gone through the door a second time, heading east, then hit it. The serpent will eventually come back down the passage and hit the door.

Oh, interesting, I hadn't thought of that. But I managed to kill it using a pretty circuitous method that Jacob had hinted at. Thanks everyone! I learned quite a bit analyzing and completing this level.
