I know this room is unrequired, but I'm looking and looking and I just don't see it.

I am assuming there's no way to set up a clever chain reaction that will push the puff 2 squares over the fire.

I can't see how to use the floor in the bottom right to stabalise the bridge

I can't kill the brain without either Beethro or a decoy standing on the ice.

No idea how puff/fluff can be useful if it can't cross hot tiles.

Are you saying I somehow need to push the brain from the

Now you're just overthinking the hint.

I figured as much from the first hint and tried to look at pushing techniqes, the idea of a hail mary from the corner was a bizarre longshot, but no more baffling to me than trying to push the decoy from anywhere other than the platform. If a decoy goes on a hot tile it will die as Beethro can't get from the potion location to anywhere he can push him, the decoy cannot go anywhere other than the platform, the hot tile, or the floor in the corner. If it goes on floor it seems to be an irrelevant distance away, if it goes on the hot tile it will die, if it goes on the platform it can only be pushed from the ice.

×This assumption is worth re-examining.

Thanks, but I'm not seeing it.

I know you're helping but just as a request, could I get more explicit hints please? I'd rather be overspoiled and get on with it than be underspoiled and to keep coming back.

I will probably be hanging out in H&S for a while, having just reinstalled DROD after several years absence and this will always be my preferred level of hint. Cheers.

Edit: I didn't see it, but looking at the hold thread again, I saw there was a link to a video playthrough, and I just used that, so no longer need help, thanks.
