I don't see what the goal configuration could be.

This was one room I didn't solve during testing, but I did it now and it's much easier than it looks. All the pressure plates must be pressed on two consecutive turns. The gentryii needs to cover the vertical chain while the two Beethros do the top four.

Big hint:

×Since both Beethros are off-centre, the gentryii's head will be too. You need it to hit the top central plate by moving towards one Beethro for one move, then towards the other.

I really don't understand how that's supposed to work. I think I need a much stronger hint.

So, as you will have noticed, the force arrows are not symmetrical.

That worked! I don't know why, but it did.

×One Beethro must step NE over the eastern arrows on the same turn as the other steps SE over the western ones. It must be the first Beethro who goes NE -- he can't get to the top arrow while keeping the gentryii restrained.

Complete spoiler follows:

×All you have to do is go up the middle with the first Beethro, with sword South and the gentryii following, then go NE over the arrows, then tab, position the second Beethro on the top western arrow, and move SE on the same turn.

totally confused - demo please?
