Re: JtRH Level 12 1S 1W (+1)

Well, alright, one thing is that I started the room initially with my sword facing W and didn't turn it until I was "tar diving". (Its not too difficult to get back to where you were under these conditions).

I was on the left arrow on move 23. Then moving NW to the top of the screen, and then west from there, I wake up the westernmost eye on move 28. You should have 2 squares between you and the closest eye from the east. On move 30, the tar grows, blocked by the now-awake eye, and spawns one tar baby. Meanwhile, the other three eyes on the west have moved up to form a line along the north end of the hallway ready for you to kill. Continue moving west until you are one square east of the red door. Then swing sword to the SW and then move SW into the tar. The eyes from the east will get stuck on the east side of the wall.

Ok, I solved it O:-

It was a matter of starting with the sword pointing W. Then remove the 1st eye and move past the 2nd eye. Then getting to the top row to enable to eye there to freeze the tar (a position to get into it). Next clear a path into the mother and kill the tar baby the comes up from the hallway. Finally kill the mother and then wait, with sword pointing N at the bottom left square where mother was for the next spawn. A tar baby will appear and move N to kill it. Now that tar will not spawn any more babies. Move through the other channel and go directly to the other mother, killing eyes on the way. Then clean up and exit the channel to the original hallway and kill the remaining tar baby and eye. SIMPLE :lol

Have you uploaded your scores? Go to the settings screen and click the 'Upload my scores' (or something like that, I don't have JtRH in front of me right now) button under the CaravelNet boxes (and naturally, you need a working CaravelNet key). If you have a permanent internet connection, you should also select the similarly named option in the lower right corner of the screen. That way your scores will be uploaded while you play.

Maybe I'm not paying attention, but I can't find where to upload my score!

To be able to upload your scores, you need to have CaravelNet. Did you get the email giving you a link to the free trial version?

Re: JtRH Level 12 1S 1W (+1)

Hi - can someone help me please?

I have carefully read the instructions here, and tried to follow them....

I am able to get to the left arrow with sword facing W by move 23, making sure i left an eye asleep. I can get to the top wall, and awake the W eye putting it on the correct spot, then kill the west eyes and tar baby before turning my sword SW, diving into the tar, and killing the mother.

My problem is that no matter how hard I try, or however much or little i destroy the tar in the top, by the time i have even gotten close to the other mother, there is a tar baby in the spot where the red door used to be. If I kill the 2nd mother and go back to the top to get the tar baby, I am stuck in the room.

Also, if I leave the east eyes in the top until after I come out of the tar, then it takes too many sword swings to get the sword in the right position to kill them when i come back out of the tar area, resulting in a new tar baby that kills me. But if i kill them before going into the tar, then it has already spawned more than once.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please? or even better, can someone post a demo please, because I have been trying to do this room for days now, and I am ready to explode

So far, so good.

You should get rid of them before diving into the tar.

You'll have the most time to get to the other mother if you leave

by the time i have even gotten close to the other mother, there is a tar baby in the spot where the red door used to be.

After you cross the trapdoor, you can save time in that area by dodging or sneaking past some of the eyes without waking them. Crossing the trapdoor with a certain sword position helps too.

Hi there folks. With all these technical questions I am brave enough to ask why I sometimes get graphics and sometimes don't. It must be something I'm not doing and it would be good to see them - I need all the help I can get. :glasses

There is no trophy icon under your post. That tells me your CaravelNet Subscription has expired. (You got a free one-month trial subscription when you bought the game.)

For all the official holds and certain user-made holds, the CaravelNet server will not show you the room image until it knows that you have visited the room in question. This requires a current subscription and a proper connection between your game and the server.
