You need to solve the room and also be able to leave it. The challenge gets awarded when you stand on the open yellow door on the western room edge.

I wonder if the challenge is awarded after solving the room and then re-entering it, and then dropping all the trapdoors and leaving the room?

It is not. You have to drop all trapdoors and clear the room in the same visit.

This is probably the hardest challenge in the hold, but it is possible.

I can provide a demo when I'm home,
But what I printed out the room after I explode the 3 "save" bombs.
And drew a path for Beethro.
With the 4th mimic I dropped as many trapdoors as I could.
Leaving 2 paths for the final 2 mimics to the bombs and a path for Beethro.

You need to try to let the 2 north bombs explode at the same time and the south bomb as late as possible.

It's also hard to let the mimics stay with a bomb, because you need a path for Beethro to get to the trapdoors under the bombs.

The challenge seems to be bugged - you need Beethro to stand on EMPTY door tile, you can't move onto it on same turn the door will close - the challenge won't show up.

I can't even start the room because I can't get all 6 mimics out. And I NEED all 6 mimics.

What are you having a problem with? You only need to lead one mimic at a time. Just be cautious when dropping trapdoors around the checkpoint - it's the only tile where you can place mimics.

Additionally, you can't step on the door _before_ clearing all the trapdoors or the challenge just won't trigger.

Re: Journey to Rooted Hold : Twenty-Third Level : 2 North, 1 West (0)

Has anyone posted a demo of the challenge being solved?

One has to consider the fact that (a) blowing up the bombs doesn't drop the trapdoors under the bombs, and also (b) after blowing up any given bomb, ANOTHER mimic - or the player - has to be able to pass through that square and drop the trapdoor under the bomb square, and the trapdoor that the mimic was standing on... and all within the time limit, since at least some of the bombs result in setting off the fuse...

I did everything as shown in the demo above, but the game won't just give me the challenge completed mark... likely a bug?

EDIT: Fixed by not stepping on the yellow door too early.
