Help! I've been stuck on this room for a week.

I can't get enough goblins into the part at point 3. I've managed to get about 8 goblins from point 2 and 5 goblins from point 1, but that doesn't seem to be enough. What am I missing?

Ugh. How is this possible? I'm afraid I don't understand how to get more out of the top right section. I know the little bend down/left from the orb MUST be important, but I can't figure out how to use it.

Level 9 breaks me down. Another room I need help with :~(

I can't see how to get so much goblins out of point 1 and 2. I need 23 goblins from this two points, but I don't find a way to leave the chambers without killing too much goblins. Could you give me a bit more hints about those parts? I'm completely frustrated! Thanks!

Sorry, but I'm completely helpless at both points. Point 1: I even don't understand the base of the trick. Point 2: As I see, the only way of forcing the goblins out is swinging the sword around, but the goblins from the south are ready to kill me then.

I fear, I need a step by step solution for both points. :(

Sorry for asking again,
but is it possible to give me a detailed solution for these parts? I would really like to finish this level. Thanks for your help.

Whoa. I think this room was the hardest one in my DROD history (up to now, of course) :)
Thank you for your help. I hope the remaining rooms of this level are not so tricky.

I've been here what seems like forever, and I can not get the required numbers of goblins out. (Except for the upper right, where a detailed walkthrough gave me a leg up.) I can get 1 (not 3) from the far right, four (not six) from the top center bunch, and am badly stuck on the "16" section. Although there are detailed instructions for the latter, I fear that there's enough difference between AE and JtRH that this room is now impossible. Or I may just be paranoid -

I've attached a demo, all 1600+ moves of it, showing my predicament. Even though I'm following instructions, I have no luck. What's up?

Thanks -

Maybe a week's purgatory in this room is long enough, maybe not . . . Can anybody shed any light on my predicament?

Thanks -

First start is good, but you didn't pay enough attention to the 2nd walkthrough, it was said you need to do it *after* the far-right section, so you can push the goblins around the 3rd edge there into the hole where the others were before so you can get out afterwards.

Oh. Thanks for the clarification . . . the original walkthrough said it was helpful, not a requirement.

And your suggestion on the far-east section helped . . . I finished that and . . . hahahaha! I get no farther on the center section I first asked about. The goblins won't go into that east section no matter what I do.

While I'm being unreasonably dependent, here's a demo extract of my current predicament. How do I motivate the goblins to behave?

Sheesh. If I hadn't invested this much time already, I'd delete this hold. My inability to figure this out is ridiculous.

Hm ok,
you were doing better on your first try :) Let's see. in a corner, a lone goblin will move around it when you push it with your sword. Almost the same holds for this horde, only sometimes a few others will sneak back.

When all are around the first corner, get them all around the 2nd and most of them around the 3rd and you should be fine.

(You know I played this level just for you? I found I abandoned the hold in level 3 because it was to hard for me a year ago..)

Now I feel like a real dolt. I've been doing this level for about a year and a half, and you do five levels in a week . . . I'm glad there's still a non-DROD real world where my ego can be restored.

I require 17more goblins to fill section 3. I have only section 2 left and cannot for the life of me manage to get enough goblins from this section. I know it was said I should be able to to get 16 so I already fear I will have to restart this room to get my extra goblin but I just can't seem to make any progress with section 2 and it's becoming horribly frustrating. Can someone provide me with a demo? I really want to finish this level.
Thanks

This is a horribly inefficient demo, but here you go.
