Am I the only one who can't get this room?
I get through the tar, but can't even finish the eyes before the snake dies. How do I cut that bloody tar the fastest way?

start facing sw and use the edges
there are a couple places you can cut without creating any babies

OK. This is embarrasing...After many years of not playing I had to start replaying many holds again because I lost almost everything. And I can´t even remember what I did to win the levels. So...I need some help. In this room I think I don´t need to even bother about the orbs (the snake will die anyway). If I don´touch the tar there won´t be any babies to worry about , and the roaches are easy to kill. About the goblins: I need to keep one alive (no problem) until I get into the SE passage, with the sword pointing west and the remaining goblin between the sword and the crumbling wall. But...the moment I kill it, the green door opens and I can´t get to hit the orb again because the mimic gets stuck in the arrow when Beethro runs east. What am I not seeing ?

Your second post is on the right track. You need to keep the snake alive the whole way through the room, until you're at the exit. So efficiency in all the other tasks is important.
