Hello,

I've beaten this game once about a year ago and I've come back to try again and I'm stuck for the first time with no solutions on how to pass this room. I've been working on it for about two days and I'm getting frustrated. Can someone just give me an idea on how to get through the first chamber fast enough without the tar overflowing in the northern chamber so that when I get all the trap doors cleared in chamber one then I can enter the northern chamber to get rid of that tar. I'm just assumming that I have to activate all the trapdoors to remove the green gates. If this is not the case will someone please advise me on how to get past this room. Thanks

First of all: it would be better if you posted in the 'hints and solutions' forum, rather than the 'anything but drod' forum That also lets you search for other posts about the same room in case anyone else has asked first.

Secondly: red doors drop when all the trapdoors are down. Green doors drop when all the monsters in the room are killed - in this case the tar mother and any tar babies that are spawned. So you don't need to drop all trapdoors.

Moved. Schik will probably have to associate it with a specific room later if he feels like it.

Game on,

I did post this on the hints and solutions forum. That is where it is located unless someone had moved it. Anyhow no matter after I posted I passed the room and the level. Thanks so much for your reply.
