Clearly, by spelling “The Oubliette” correctly and not spamming question marks and smilies.

As for the actual hints:

Am I missing something when



is spoken?

I've defeated other rooms with the running commentary. Will a certain sequence of actions trigger different dialogue, i.e., beating the room within a certain timeframe/a certain way?

Edit - Scratch that. Beat the room, saw the note. Feeling rather played, now.

×Your best chance at killing the roaches through the chains is to do it on your first chance, manipulating the gentryii left and trapping it there, which should instantly open the roaches to you.

I managed this first group of roaches, but the last roach is really a problem. No matter what I do, I cannot remove chain from (15,16) without making the critic appear.

This is my only challenge left to complete... and it may be the hardest!

I just tried that room out - I got the challenge when I first played it, but I'd forgotten how I did it and all I remembered was a lot of flailing around.

I can, but let me try to hand out some advice first. It's really a lot simpler than it may seem.



If that's not enough, I'll break out the demo.

Edit: There was a post between this one and my last, in case anyone's wondering.

×As tempestadept said, the trick is not to kill the roaches on the east. Leave them alone to give the gentryii less chain to work with.

Click here to view the secret text

×Head to the left side, sword pointing east and the gentryii following you.

Walk up to the lights, staying as close to the chain as possible; then start heading left. You only fail the challenge if you step above the row the lights are in; you can go into that row without any problems.

×When you're three squares away from the lights, start going down.

×When there's a free tile by the northwest roach, go northwest and then start heading up.

×Then just go back down when the chain is in a good position to trap the head.
