I must be missing something essential in my decoy placement in this room.

The seep droplets at the bottom right are taken care of. The seep droplets at the left near the center are taken care of. The seep droplets on the right are mostly taken care of .

But the seep droplets for the upper left corner are driving me batty. When I move toward the potion at the top of the screen the droplets follow me. Three droplets head for the decoy meant for the right-side seep (which is fine)

Advice, please.

×but one always stays off the gate so it won't die. The remaining three droplets do similarly, lining up so that one drop is not killed.

Advice, please.

The upper left corner stumped me too when I first did this room. It's not too much of a problem, though, if you are careful.

So, you've taken care of the western, southern and eastern Seep groups, and are now on the northern group, correct?

Progressive hints:



Does this help?

Thank you.

For some reason I always think I have to use every potion, drap every trapdoor, etc.

I must really be missing something as well - I can't even get the seeps on the west to stay on the door. Provided I could do that, the rest of the room isn't a problem.

I assume I need to place the decoy in the middle of the door-loop thing, but at least a few of the 6 seeps end up facing another seep, and not on the door.

Any help is appreciated. It might even just help if I was informed which decoy I was supposed to place there (the top or the east - as it is I can't seem to get either to work).

Please help - I've read the other posts for this level, and after spending 2 days I still can't defeat it. I've tried putting my decoys in nearly every combination along with their swords in different directions. Somebody please save my sanity!
