Bumping this because I've been making attempts at this room to no avail.
The earliest I've managed to hit the orb is Turn 144, which disoriented's previous demo does as well. I can get to the southwest queens faster than that demo does, but this doesn't help to speed things up because that just makes the northwest queen lay more eggs.
Apparently I'm supposed to be able to hit the orb on Turn 142, but I can't see how to hit it earlier and still take care of everything, especially the snake. The big problem is that second goblin.
Or am I being too slow in the tar mother section? The earliest I've been able to get onto the east arrows with everything dead is Turn 88. I can more easily imagine finding an extra turn or two there somehow than anywhere else on the way to the orb.
(sidenote: despite the title, disoriented's demo is actually two moves late because the mimic would be placed after the roach moves.)
Edit: Okay, one part of that has been answered.

×I've made it out of the tar section in 86 moves, letting me hit the orb on 142 with everything up to there taken care of.
Unfortunately, I still have the issue of the northwest roach queen hatching three eggs and I'm not sure how to deal with that without losing time.
