any hint here?
my best try was reaching SE corner, whit a mimic two steps beside me, and start going up. but the bomb timer seems too tight for this strategy.

I think I have to enter with the sword pointing E, like all the mimics

Bump. I'm also at a complete loss on this one. I've had moderate success with the strategy Sandalo describes above. I've also tried having my sword pointed different direction upon room entry. The problem is always the queens that get caught up in the NE corner. I can try waiting on the room entry but not for long enough to scare them all over. I'm always at least 5 moves shy of getting out before the bomb kills Halph. I have no idea how one would go about giving hints for a hold like this. But this is one of my last two rooms in this hold (which is terrific by the way) and I would appreciate any kind of help you can give!

Yup, this room sure is hard to give hints for... Because of this I'll just list a few things that may help and attach my demo in case it's not enough.

Hope this helps!

This was super helpful. Even with the hints, I had to download the demo to get an idea of how the first dozen or so moves should be done to get everything in place. That was brilliant! Thank you so much for the help!
