In the list of challenges, this room has an entry for "He Came in Peace". How is this challenge achieved?

And I simply cannot see a way to leave without poking the walls at least once with the sword (which I assume is the stipulation required to get this challenge), due to the bottleneck at (32,10) in 1N, and the need to get into the corridor in column 31 with the sword pointing away from the keg rather than towards it.

Obviously, given the walls at (32,9) and (32,11), when Beethro stands on the space in between and is trying to move into the corridor, his sword must be either to the west of him, or to the east of him.

If it's to the west of him, he cannot avoid poking the wall on the west side of the corridor.

If it's to the east of him - he has to either move NW with his sword pointing SE, or W with his sword pointing E.

In both cases, there is no way to actually swing the sword around to point north afterwards, so as to safely move the keg with Beethro and not explode it...

I can get northwards through this room, no problem. And I can go southwards with only *one* hit on the walls with the sword... but not zero.
