I can make it all the way to the final two rooms with time to spare. The problem is by the time the last door opens, I always have another space distance between me and the door.

, I'm always one move too slow to cut the fuse. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Completed room. I was making a silly mistake. Simply take the most direct route and this room shouldn't be too hard.

Hello,
I'm blocked in this room. In the room with the 2 goblins and the brain, I can kill 1 goblin and the brain but I haven't enough time to kill the second , so he enter with me in the third room.
But I do it again and again and it miss me 1 move to go up into the corridor and pass the door.
What should I do ? Perhaps a demo could help me ...
Thanks

This was the toughest little section of this room - the one with the two goblins and the brain.

I solved this room by driving the two goblins into the top-left corner and killing them on consecutive moves. If you let them separate you are done for - you'll run out of time. The trick is to keep them together.

Hope that helps. Keep trying! :)

I just finished this room. I've completed the rooms to the west (and the wraithwing room) and northwest as well, with the room to the north being the last room you can beat because of the blue door guarding it. However, the only exit out of this chunk of rooms is in that NW room, but there's a black door surrounded by bombs and a force arrow. So... how do I go back to the entrance without restoring and losing everything? :?

Will I have to restart the level and keep this chunk of rooms for the very end? Boo-urns.

No need to restore. See this thread.

Ah, yes, I see. Thanks. I was so eager to continue playing, though, that I just restored, haha. Oh well, now I won't get tripped up when I redo those levels.

Cheers,

Uh... The direct route, if it's what I THINK it is, definately isn't workable.

The best speed I have been able to get gets me to (1) facing North-west by the time the orb at (2) is triggered. If I go straight, I can get to about (3) before the bomb at (4) goes off - i.e. I don't think shaving time off will work. However, rotating to SE - the direction needed to get to the final orb I believe - always makes me hit the orb one move too late.

Tips anyone? X-x;

After 5 days I still can't get beyond the first room (bottom left). I have got through it once so I know it can be done, but how the hell did I do it? I realised the mistake I made when I got into the 2nd room otherwise I could have made the save point and wouldn't have to ask the question.
Any help would be appreciated with regard to which sword direction (got to be NW I think), which square to start attacking the roaches from and which direction to head to. I know I finished up about 3 or 4 squares up from the gate next to the wall.

Thanks for the quick reply. Did it 3rd attempt. Why don't we see the obvious sometimes? I was using too many sword swings

Try working backwards and figuring out what you must and mustn't do.

New problem
___________

I have completed 1W, the entrance, 1E, 2E and 3E. How do I get to the rooms north? I can enter 1N via the entrance however this does not seem to be the intended approach, as I can beat it simply enough but cannot move Estward from there.
There must be somethiung really obvious I am missing. A Skotoma?!
Please help.
Alfie

That is the intended approach, making the room more tricky to solve than it initially appears. If you have more questions about Twenty-First Level : 1N, please post them in this thread.

OK – I give in. I'm in the last room, can't find a way to get to the orb and can't get out. And I can't think what else I could use to get to the orb as TFMurphy suggests so that I can be at a distance. Can anyone please help my sagging brain –PLEASE!! :w00t

I'm struggling with the second to last room. How the hey are you meant to manuever your way around those bombs?

That one's all a matter of which way you are facing before entering the bomb maze.
