Getting around the waterskipper at point 1 requires stealth. There is no way to close the west door on the same turn you step on it, so if the waterskipper is hostile, it will attack.

However, the potion at the end can only be crossed if the power token is activated. The only other alternative I can see is somehow getting the timeclone to navigate around the waterskipper, but I don't see how the timeclone can possibly set up such a recording during the limited number of turns it exists.

So how do I get either the mimic or the timeclone to the power token after I enter the passage?

×yes, you need to be in "not hostile mode"

×timeclone

×timeclone has a few moves

×how can you make timeclone more useful?

×maybe timeclone can stay more time than recorded

×Getting out of the southeast area requires either breaking stealth so the northeast construct moves or getting the eye at (11,10) off the pressure plate to open the door leading into the northeast area.

The latter option is out because the only sword in the room faces south, pushing the eye closes off the only exit, and killing the eye personally removes stealth (and can only safely be done with the mimic's help, which requires going into the southwest chamber to get the construct to release it). Not to mention that even if it could somehow be done, the mimic would then have to be maneuvered into the northeast chamber to push the construct, which looks very demanding.

So that leaves breaking stealth to make the construct move. The timeclone can do this by killing the decoy, and stealth will be preserved for the main timeline player, but I really don't see how I can keep the timeclone blocked for a long period of time while a construct is trying to catch it.

×Easiest way to not let the construct catch the timeclone is to push it far away while the clone is bumping into a wall or arrow.

×Of course, when it's far away the construct can't block the timeclone while the mimic pushes it somewhere useful...

×...but the aumtlich can.

×The timeclone doesn't need to leave the room in it's own timeline.

×So don't let it eat the decoy until the real timeline (after you temporarily disable the construct)

×It takes quite a few turns for the mimic to open the door where the aumtlich starts. So how am I keeping the timeclone stuck until then?

I can't block it myself because 1) the timeclone can attack me and 2) I need to move around in order to maneuver the mimic, which means staying in one place to block the construct isn't a viable option either.

×Pretty much the same problem as my previous post; even if I don't have the timeclone kill the decoy, I don't know how to create a stable position where the timeclone is blocked and I can move around.

I also feel like I'm going to be confused about how to get the timeclone into position for its final step onto the token, but since I can't even get to the point where that's my problem I'm not really thinking about it right now.

×Regarding stable positioning - there are 2 things in SW chamber that can actually block timeclone instead of being killed by it. One of those things is pretty hard to use since it's stationary, the other one however does move, and you can influence its movement after finishing recording fast enough so it can block timeclone.

Regarding the "final step" - unless this room is breakable I'd say right now you're kind of on the wrong track about where you need to put timeclone. It's not the only thing in this room that can hit power token.

Also - I would say this is the trickiest room in the hold, so I would recommend maybe trying required rooms in other lvls before this one, although it's up to you I guess.

×The only way I can see to use this involves staying still on the pressure plate. If I stay still, I'm not moving the mimic, and the other clone doesn't have the space to move around to manipulate the mimic for me.

...oh. Wait. Just realized that I was only looking at that in one direction. Thanks.

×The timeclone moves before the mimic. It also doesn't get full-stunned. As far as I can tell, I only get two moves after getting the timeclone stuck, so I need to block it immediately after it's pushed and use one of those moves to kill the decoy, the other to keep it stuck until I'm done with it. And unless I've missed something, the second move can only be north or south. Edit: West is also an option.

I think I see a working final setup, but due to the above limitations, I'm not sure how to get the timeclone in place for it.

×to keep timeclone from moving

×you may want to choose timeclone final step, so that it is the more convenient

×plenty obstacles: arrows, wall, bushes, construct and construct rubble

×decoy may help

×Aumlitch may help
