Tricky tricky. With countless attempts, I alway's end up having 2 roaches left. Here's my closest attempt (edit, I played through this again, and found a different strategy):



This room has been really bugging me for a while. Any hints?

Yeah, I'm stuck too. Your suggestion



gets all but one roach, unless I'm doing it wrong - if you don't go down to the bottom, how do you get the one in the left-hand spiral, one down, one right from top-left?

Another way to get all but one is



but then you don't get the one in the right-hand spiral, one right from top-left.

So what am I doing wrong?

Even with all these suggestions I still can't figure out how to kill the 2nd roach from top left. I can get him sometimes, but only by getting the right middle roach stuck in the top of his own hook. Help!

Edit: Got it at last. Here's a hint I could've used:

Hi All

I never thought I'd ask for one, but would someone mind posting a demo of this room? I've been stuck on it for 3 days now & although I think I've followed everone's suggestions previously, I'm still left with the one roach at the end! I am literally going to chuck my monitor out of the room soon...



Nevermind - finally cracked it!

OK, I can't figure out how to come in from the top right, since the arrows all point up. I came in thru the bottom left (no help there), then tried coming backfrom the top left... can't get it that way... what am I missing please? (been on this one for over a month...might be a new worst record for a hall of shame!)

So enter from the top left, go to the top right and exit, and then come right back in. Once you've done that, I have some more specific hints in a post halfway up, or a few posts above you can e-mail me for a demo.

Game on,

Any particular roach you're having trouble with?

I suggest reading the hints in this thread and then trying again and again.

How do you get to this room? I know I am missing something really simple, but the room above has arrows I can't get across.

The arrows only block entry in the upper right-hand corner. There are two other entrances, at least one of which you can enter by.

I'd hazard a guess that entering one square further west would've done the trick... at least it should have left you one tile that's connected to the exit...

np: Underworld - Pizza For Eggs (RiverRun Project)

You need to keep yourself a trapdoor path out of the room.

Easier said than done, I know. Maybe you could post a demo of one of your attempts a this room?

np: 'Weird Al' Yankovic - Do I Creep You Out (Straight Outta Lynwood)

Coolspost has post a demo without trapdoor pat, and Niroz said "all you need to do from there is exit the room."

And I wish to know how can I leave that room without restoring an X point"
