This has to be the coolest quote about the Neather ever, so far. I believe the scroll says something about aggression being good. It does apply for this room. The easiest way is Then... After that Beyond that the room is easy enough to do without hints. Make sure to kill as many roaches as possible coming from secret one to secret two.

I thought it said "caution can be deadly".

I think there is a difference between the two.

yup...you're right. The scroll does say that. I'm normally too lazy to open my game to see the scrolls, or certain room layouts...

Stating at the top forced arrow with sword down I go-NW for 4, N for 6, NW for 3, W for 2, NW for 4, W for 3, SW for 3, W for 11, SW for 1, S for 1, SW for 3, S for 9 killing roaches and queen. Then I flip my sword N working my way to the top killing roaches as I go. Once I am at the top the roaches are multipling to quickly to get out of the entrance area. HELP

You may need to back off a little, to give yourself some space...eventually you can go back to business as usual.

READY FOR THIS...I got up to the portion with the orbs to get the mimic to kill the brain. I had read somewhere that you can exit the room without killing the brain, reenter the room and kill the neather. So I did. I went to redo the room and killed everything and I can't get out of the room. The green door doesn't open. What's up with that. >

Well - there is a checkpoint at the end of the previous room (1N1W). Try restoring from there (if you didn't step on it you may have to do 1N1W again). Otherwise report it on Bugs.

Killing the 'Neather early shouldn't stop you finishing the game at all, even though it is (sort of) cheating.

I had a LOT of trouble when using this approach--namely, EVERY move had to be PERFECT or else...reminded me of the "efficiency" level.

On a happy note, I found a MUCH more pleasing (and FAR simpler) victory by:



after that the rest was cake. The ONLY tricky thing about this approach is:



but that can be done so you are at the yellow door as the first batch of roaches is hatching.

This means you must be efficient for the first 30 or so moves, but after that, it's easy.

I have killed everything in this room except two roach mamas in the upper right block (pic attached). The Neather won't let me in either door. I can't figure out how to get to them. Help?

Never mind, I just figured it out -- finally!

(Side note: Can anyone see the screenshot I attached to my prev. message? I can't see it -- the picture doesn't download next to the message. Did I do something wrong attaching it?)

I am guessing you forgot to attach it again, after you previewed your message?

Yep, that would explain it. Didn't know that "preview" erased the attachment. (That's a "feature," right?)
Thx
