I see some tricks I can use. I can kill the Eye and survive the Roach that allowed me to kill it.

But I see no way to kill the Queen! Is there any way to make a barrel explode without committing suicide here? And the challenge goal let me totally confused...

Nope, no safe way to explode a keg in this room.

I thought the challenge was simpler because it had fewer moving parts. The timing might be a little more precise.

Can you modify your solution so the queen helps you with the eye?
Can you then alter it so the queen goes somewhere dangerous?

I managed to do that, but...

... the queen always finish definitely trapped in column 34 or line 12.

Did you really need all those kegs for the first part?

That's madness, I finally got it... Thank you !

The Volatile Cellar in general gave me a serious nervous breakdown !

I still don't get how not to do the challenge, though :? But I'll think about it by myself :P

I never attempted the non-challenge solution.

This level is very hard. This room didn't give me trouble, but I had to watch someone else play 1E and 1W before I could do them.
