So, in what direction should I search for the challenge.

I have no idea how I could manipulte the script in some way here.
Is there something I should(n't) have done, in a previous level?

This challenge is just a little bonus for doing something unusual in this room. It doesn't depend on anything done previously.

I still don't find anything, can I have a bigger hint?

(I also find nothing that could prevent the door from closing or getting in there)

I still don't get how to do the challenge.

It's the only challenge I still require, and my OCD stops me from moving on to the next hold.

I don't see a way to make Beethro die during the cutscene...
The game accepts no inputs during the scenes, and restarting the room, or undoing just reverts to before the cutscene...

Please help me commit suicide! O:-

I don't understand what you mean... You enter the room from the stairs, part of the cutscene plays, then you enter the corridor, and more of the cutscene plays, that's when the goblin sees 'the spy', and then once you enter the room, more cutscene happens, with all the people retreating to the orb room.

I've tried letting the goblin kill me immediately after cutscene 2, and immediately after cutscene 3 (both before and after they lock the door), but neither triggers this achievement... in cutscene 3 the goblin remains immobile... in cutscene 2 it moves, but i see no way to get beethro in his way before that cutscene triggers...

restart, undo don't help in any way, since both the monsters and beethro return to their previous positions...

Unless there is a suicide key, maybe this relies on some glitch which might have been patched?

If the goblin is immobile during cutscene 3, that's because it doesn't know Beethro is frozen, and is still afraid of his sword. So all you need to do....

When the goblin first came towards me after cutscene 2, what I did was

Having done that... and replayed the room the normal way... Are there any later repercussions for killing the goblin in here? On the mini-display, it doesn't appear as red (compulsory to kill all monsters) or even purple (counts as secret room in which all monsters must be killed), so I assume the goblin can be allowed to survive if you exit...

The goblin is irrelevant. But if you're paranoid, you might prefer to gum up the Empire's works by stopping that message from reaching it's destination.
