I've been searching for quite some time now for the three secret rooms on level 10, I found two, namely:



I'm just not able to find the last one, and it's the only one I need to enter the dreamplane. Any help would be largely appreciated.

Sometimes this game makes you feel real stupid about yourself



Many thanks, I found it and now I'm on to the dreamplane!

Clicking on the Hints map for Level 10 1E takes us to questions about the secret rooms. Perhaps that's a secret code? I get all the way thru 1E down to the bottom, but find no bushes? to break thru to get out. The object of these new critters is deceptively simple, but I must be missing some point. And while I'm asking, the eyes on the blobs on the walls are looking at me, but never come down. Do all of them have to be killed to exit? If so, how do you get them to come down please?

Welcome to the wonders of tar. To complete the room you need only to kill all the tar babies - stable tar itself is no threat and does not count as a monster. As you may have noticed, tar can never be one square wide or high so if it is cut that way it forms a baby.

As to your question: If tar babies form on the edge of a wall they can move onto adjacent floor. However if you cut tar so that a tar baby appears on the middle of a wall, you won't be able to kill it.

Whoa! I need clarification. If the tar baby is on the wall and can't come down, I can't kill it, but to complete the room I must kill it? (Don't some start on the wall?)

There's a difference between being on an edge wall, that you can hit with your sword or that it can jump down off of, and being deep in a center wall. The latter case you can't recover from, so you need to make sure that you don't cut tar in such a way as to create tar babies in the middle of a wall.

Also, If I get thru the room w/out releasing the babies, is that sufficient, or must slash about releasing all possible and killing them all?

No, you don't have to release all possible tar babies. You only have to kill the ones present when the room starts, and those you release in the process of killing those. Remember, when you complete a room, Beethro goes "HA!" and the minimap in the lower left corner turns green. In tar rooms, if you then release more tar babies the minimap will turn red again. So you need to kill those tar babies before you leave, or the room won't count as completed.

Game on,
