Keeping the soldier alive is a huge pain. I was able to kill all the queens on the west side, but then I couldn't get past the chokepoint in the south-center; I had a pattern that was repeatable for a while, by blocking the soldier with my sword, but it broke when a roach came by in the wrong spot.

So what the heck do I do here?

×This is true. So just get him stuck on a regular roach instead.

I'm sorry I have no clue what you are talking about. What do you mean stuck on queen, stuck on roach? How do I do that?

×If a soldier is on oremites with a target next to him, he will stay still as though he had a sword. What I'm saying is to deliberately make use of this behavior to keep a soldier out of trouble.

Ehhh... thanks albeit I guess that it's one of the puzzles when you need to make a specific set of moves in order to beat it. Even with the hints, I still am doing something wrong, probably because I did something wrong earlier. I guess that I am on my own

I kinda agree that the hold is otherwise okay, except this room

But I can't find a move sequence that lets the solider stay alive long enough for me to do that.

That might also work, but I did it by
And yes, this room is sort of magical sequency, but I'll try to provide some kind of manual:

Hope that helps!
