Okay, it's obvious that I have to get the mimic potion and put it with one of the three mud mothers, and I've tried every combination. The one I THINK is the "right" one is theI've also tried using different entrances (the south and west entrances, the north one is too far away from the mimic potion to even consider).

The problem is that the other two patches of mud keep overwhelming me. This is my last room on level 23, and I've been stuck on it for over 2 days now. So far I haven't been able to get my strategy to work at all, and I'm wondering if I'm even remotely going in the right direction. Help!

I always solve it by putting the mimic in the top chamber and leaving it there. I sometimes even let the mud grow out to trap it there. Other than that, I bounce back and forth between the other two. I can solve the third at my leisure if the mimic stays put.

I ended up following AlefBet's idea and managed to beat it.

Thanks a lot!

×As long as he gets stuck somewhere within the rectangular area, he'll be able to cut the edges of the mud whenever it threatens to grow too far out. Just don't let it grow into both squares of the "bridge".

×To get the other sections, just clear the mud back in one, then go to the other and clear it back, then come to the first one and clear it all out if you can...if not, just kill the mud mother. Do that for the second one, then use the mimic or go down yourself to do the third one. Then don't forget to mob up all the mud, there's a black door.

Game on,

Actually, the room is still possible if the mud grows out into the bridge. In fact, the way I completed this room was by
