Okay, I get the broad idea of this hold, I use the various accessories in the first room to make my way through as many rooms as possible. But I feel like I could use a bit of guidance.

For a start, what exactly are my goals? I know there's getting past the various yellow doors and there's presumably a secret past the hold end stairs. The scroll at the end suggests I can get to the stairs without triggering the evaluator. Presumably I'm also trying to get as far through the repeating pattern as possible, but that seems like it's most likely going to overlap with getting past the yellow doors.

And I'm having trouble seeing how to get further progress than what I've managed... four rooms east or so, I think. I don't think I need a full answer there, just a general hint at what I should be aiming to do to get enough money to keep going, as that's the main obstacle.

Things I've figured out so far:

My goal here is just to get all the scorepoints, with no particular concern for how well I do. That and accessing all the rooms. So I'd appreciate any advice that can help me navigate this weird little hold.

Which scorepoints do you have so far and which rooms have you accessed?

The only one I've managed is the freebie one for getting to the end at all. Furthest I've gotten is 4E, I had a vague idea for getting to 5E but didn't try it out.

Basically, I've played around with accessories a bit but haven't really done anything of significance. At least, not of significance that's obvious to me.

For the other scorepoints, try playing around with accessories more in the last room.

For exploring all rooms, which accessory did you carry through to 4E?

I don't remember too well, but I'm pretty sure I used the grappling hook.

The main problem has been the greckle gates, I don't have the stats to kill queens and I can't keep up by just killing roaches. But if I were to take the Lucky Greckle, I wouldn't be able to skip the queen like I can with the grappling hook.

Okay, so after some further messing around: I've been to all the rooms and got all but one scorepoint, though I haven't gotten a passing grade and the Near the End scorepoint on the same run.

Now I have to go unnoticed by the proctor and I'm stumped.

Thoughts I've had:

You've correctly identified that a lot of the movement accessories have things not allowing their short range to work here.

Thanks, it wasn't clear how that worked. Not the most impressive scores, but that's not what I was going for anyways.
