Getting extremely frustrated with this room. So much so, in fact, that I signed up for the forums just to ask for help!

I'm fairly new to DROD, and am playing through several tutorial holds to get used to it and learn about the various monsters. I've not really dealt with snakes or waterskimmers much at all before this room.

I understand that I have to get the stalwart to die on the middle oremites, but the timing doesn't seem to work, and he always goes after the snake instead of the skimmers. Even when I do manage to get a skimmer in the snake's path, it immediately jumps back into the water. Am I missing something simple, or is this really that much of a timing puzzle?

Really, a demo would be appreciated if possible.

The room will be a lot more manageable when you understand why this is happening.

Once the stalwart is dead, the waterskipper's target becomes you. If there's water that it can move into on a direct path to you, then it will do that.

In order to keep the waterskipper in place to kill the snake, you need to stop it from going into the water by blocking its direct path to you. Some hints on this are in the secret text.
