Hi there,

I have a problem with this little room. I think I must kill the tar mother before it grows to the little corridor at the left (with the orb and the checkpoint). But I can't see how to kill all the roaches and close all the trapdoors in time. Is there any trick?

Although no hints were given, it's a common phenomenon on this board for people who are stuck to realise what the solution to a room is just after posting. It doesn't really warrant deleting, and it will make it easier for future players to ask for help on this room.

Yes, people like me! Same question! Is there a trick to getting all of the roaches killed in time??

No tricks, as far as I know, just efficient swordplay.

Now I'm not sure if this room was meant to be like this or not (it may have been updated), but when I solved it:

You didn't actually need to kill all roaches: the orb next to the lower left one closes the door by the tar and thus allows you as much time as you want to kill the remaining roaches. All you have to do is get to that orb.

It is the intended solution to a point. When I built it I did require most roaches to be killed by the time you'd reached the orb, but with present experience, I'm not sure exactly how many you can get away with leaving behind. I may change this for JtRH.

It's a misquote from Disney's Aladdin, "Your line is, 'I'm going to free the genie'". I recommend the film to everyone, it's very well done. Tim Rice is a superb lyricist, and Robin Williams needs no plaudits.

Hello, I need help on this room!
I can't enter the tar's area before collapsing all trapdoors, and until I do it, tar grows and close the left botton to me...

I think there is a way to kill the tar before kill every roach and queen, but I don't know how do it!
