Not looking for a full spoiler here, but I need a bit of a nudge.

I have just enough time to get the mirror into the middle to prevent the first spawn from doing bad things. I can also get the southwest blob after that. That leave me with the NorthEast blob and the NorthWest blob to deal with. No matter what I try I seem to be at least one move off for both.

For the NW, having my sword facing E seems ideal in terms of timing, and I'd be able to get it if it weren't for an annoying tar baby that follows me out and blocks my path back. I've tried moving the mirror various places outside of the 2x2 center area to try to block it somewhere, but that always seems to make things worse. I can alternatively face SE (with alternate mirror placement) but that makes the timing not work with the baby that's by the NW blob.

For the NE blob things seem even more hopeless. I can't have my sword facing a good direction on turn 1 so I always end up wasting a bunch of moves.

So which blob do I go for next? How do I save turns? Have I already missed some sort of devious sneaky trick and failed the room? (It is a Larry room after all) Help!
