I'm always a few turns short for the mimic to break the crumbly wall, let the gentryii move one step south and drop the pressure plate.

The best decoy positions i found so fare are :

Are those the right placements ?

×After I've placed the first two decoys, I went up as far as I could with the mimic, and only then did I place the last decoy (timing it so that it survived for the longest time possible). Then the chain began wrapping around the mimic, giving me the leverage to go up and break the wall.

That's really clever ! I did not thought the first to decoys could be placed without them having the longest survival time ...
