OK, I'm a newb. I can't get past the first room of a hold. My problem: I can't keep the queen at the bottom left from escaping into one of the arrowed passages. I suspect I've done something wrong before that, but there seems only to be one path.

hi!

i can't kill the wraithwing in this little passage with the small arrows.
The next thing would be the two snakes which I can't kill with the switches.
Can anyone help me?

Thanx in advance
Enzi

This room requires a very specific solution. A hint:

i can't manage to kill the wraithwing and the snakes in the upperright field with the switches at the same time.

if i kill the wraithwing the upperright snake isn't dead and if i kill the upperright snake the wraithwing is stuck.

Everything is timed to work together nicely. Hint:

this room gives me headache. I can't see the solution.
I manage to kill the 3 snakes with every step I take. But then I have to wait for the fourth snake to get caught because the next switch would toogle the wall where the snake makes suicide. And I can't kill the wraithwing because I'm only one step away.

Hey, clever. I could rerig the orbs slightly to stop that, but I like your solution.
