I can kill the adder and red serpent easily enough, but don't see what I can do to kill the rattle serpent. The builder seems to stall out on the relay station at (20,1) after opening up the way to the red serpent, but I get the impression he's supposed to do something else (possibly to do with the inaccessible powder keg). But no matter what I do to manipulate the rattle serpent around, the builder never seems to want to continue doing anything. And advice? I'm absolute rubbish with builders.

There are build markers for floor spikes, but they're invisible using older versions of the game. They're around the force arrow on the south side.

Thanks! I'll fiddle around with things a bit more to see if I can get him to build them. I'd completely forgotten about that bug.

EDIT: Ugh, I misread your post and thought there was only one build marker! I spent a few hundred moves trying to get the rattle serpent to change parity after every spike hit thinking that there was only the one trap! It was only when I got the snake down to two tiles that the builder went and built another trap. Oh well! Room solved. Thanks again!

O.K. I got the green and blue serpents killed and the red one down to a couple of tiles but I cant figure out how to trap him the builder doesnt seem to be of any use. Any suggestions?

That's pretty much it, though
