Hi. I am totally befuddled by this room. Have read the thread and seen the demos. However, all demos, and presumably the key to solving the hold, start on top of the green door!!!!

As far as I can see, the only way to get on top of the green door is to solve the room. From the map on Caravelnet, it cannot be accessed from the other side.

Help please.

The pen may be mightier than the sword, but it's no match for an AK47!!

There's a common, unrequired, trick in many holds where people can solve the room (which drops the green doors), then cut tar, mud or gel to spawn a baby, which causes the room to become unconquered but the green doors to remain open. This lets players leave the room, then come back to an unconquered room, from unusual entrances.

This room can be solved from the northwest entrance without coming into it from the northeast entrance (which, as you noted, is only possible if you solved the room already anyway). So, don't worry about the northeast entrance, just solve the room the way it appears to be.

Thanks Chaco

Took a fair bit of time but managed to complete eventually.
