How do you kill enough tar mothers in time so that the tar blobs do not form and then block the way to the other mothers?

The first step is to plan out which mothers you must kill so that the blocking you describe never happens. There are many ways to proceed for this part. Note that you do not need to access any of the mothers from both sides.

This is easy.

However, I always end in a situation where both Beethros cannot move anymore.

Which mothers should I kill first - before the first spawning?

I really would like to solve all rooms

Try to keep 1 Beethro outside the box as long as possible.

I am afraid, general hints really do not help me.

Could you please tell me which mothers I should kill first - before the first spawning?

I really hate such rooms

This one is a bit of a slog.

I don't know what the easiest method is, but the way I did it was:

I found mxvladi's approach (from his testing) to be useful (he does it in 800 moves in the demo I have)

Mine is also different from disoriented's (but mine took around 2000 moves so it's pretty slow too)
