Maybe this is just a matter of attempting this too late at night, but I feel completely lost as to how to set things up so that all four plates can be held at the right time.

Clearly I need a roach on one plate, and I can get to another plate on the next turn if necessary, but I can't wrap my head around how to arrange things to make that feasible. I do realize there are a few different ways the snakes can be trapped while holding down the plates - in theory, they could also be roaming around but that sounds terrifying to set up so I'm not even thinking about it right now. But I can't see how any of those arrangements would help me.

Okay, I managed to work out a solution to the above issue:

Now I have a new problem: the force arrow under the bomb on the east side.

This force arrow prevents the bomb from lighting the fuse until the pressure plate below the briar is activated. However, that plate is the only thing that opens the central door. And the big plate closes that door, but needs to be pressed down in order for the bomb explosion to reach the fuse.

I think I've hammered out the ridiculous process needed to resolve this, but I could use some advice on how to set things up for said process.

What I need to do:

Wow, I was overthinking that.

The process I was thinking about was totally unnecessary.

I'm afraid I need stronger hints for this room - I can't find an arrangement for the four 1x1 plates. The recipe in the post above doesn't work for me:

Perhaps a screenshot could help?

I have an idea for (what I perceive to be) the second part of the room, that is, opening the long door and exiting -

- but I'd have to get there first.

Just checked my demo, I do release the roaches but I manage to kill them. Attached a screenshot that might be helpful.

From the position in the screenshot, move NE, then N.

OK, I managed to do that. But then how do you lead the roaches down?

What you're doing already sounds a lot like what happens in my demo.

Thanks again, I've stumbled upon the correct sequence of moves, or at least on a sequence that worked.
