I think I'm supposed to carve out some wiggly tunnels into the broken walls in order to

Problem 1: I have no idea how to set this up correctly and so far I'm just been "kinda guessing" without success.

But even if I could, there's
Problem 2: The Gentryii is 12 tiles long, so there needs to be just one empty space within the pressure plate.
And I can't seem to manage to have two tiles on the "bottom" row be occupied.

Okay, as I'm writing this, I may have an idea how to resolve problem 2, but I still have very little clue of how to actually carve the pathways.
Can anyone direct me there?

Fuf, this is suuuuper strict, the path lengths are sooo prone to "tip the wrong way".
In terms of providing further hints, I'm not even sure how one would do that besides showing the actual solution, precisely because of the reason above.

Not "my cup of tea" room at all.

Definitely the toughest room on the level, though, I do have couple more to do, so that might change.

I need a stronger hint, I can't wrap my, or rather, the gentryii's head around this puzzle.

The best I can do is two

That sounds like enough.
You need two changes with the crumbly maze itself, but only three in total, right? So

then quickly enter your crumbly "maze". Do your two direction changes.
Then what?
