OK, this is the last room I need before the blue door opens, and I am completely stuck. I can kill the serpent at 1 by entering from the north and driving the roach queen in, but I have no idea how to get the others. Help me?

Thanks!

This is a horribly tricky room. I think I was stuck there for days

Some progressive hints for the first part then:


If you need more hints, just ask.

its probably faster to use the queen for all 4 but I couldn't see any easy way to get it back out of the far left room without losing it on the bottom

did the yellow doors actually make any difference for anyone I never used them

×I used the queen for the first serpent and the bottom right used roaches for the other 2

How do you get a roach into the bottom left one?

I only beat a few rooms ( 4 I think.) I have a feeling I will need alot more help for 24 since it seems like a really hard level.

×If you time her exit precisely enough, you can use a spawn to get her to head south of the NW serpent-box.

Exit what?

Yeah I knew I had to get it there. The question is how?

Looks like we're playing rapid forum tag. I reread your original post and decided more hints were appropriate, so see the edit above. Also,

Getting the queen into the southwest chamber is the only way to off that snake. But it can be done.

No, it's no good. I can kill three of the snakes with no trouble, but the SW one has me stumped, even after reading all the hints above. I can get the queen running up and down the lower east wall or upper west wall, or there and back in the north entrance. I can even move her from one to another of these. But I can't see how to manoeuvre her into the SW quadrant. Can someone please give a slightly more explicit hint?

If that means you can't maneuvre the queen into the bottom left snake pen...

Thank you Kie. I knew the doors were there for a purpose, but I couldn't work it out till I saw the effect. That helped me crack the room.

3 snakes done. Every hint read, re-read many times, but I can't get that queen even close to the SW chamber. Up and down the east wall, back and forth across the south, killed tons of roaches, wall up or down, nothing gets me even close. How's about some serious help?? This room and 2S1E lets me move to the end. That one makes no sense either.

DAMMIT. I need to see that pic before I quit this thing. She ain't going SW for nothing. East wall and south wall period.

Thats great, but how in hell do I get her to leave the east wall or the south wall?

NM. I'll start it from jump and get that snake first. The rest were easy.
