Hi,

this clever little room one has me stumped. I managed to kill the large snake, but then the roach must get to the other one, and that means it has to go up the top center passage. From there I can store it in the little inverted L next to the small snake and the rest I'll tackle when I get to it.

My problem: I can't get the roach up that center passage. I need to lure it from above (no other way to avoid the arrows) and I have no way to store the roach at the bottom (or anywhere else below the threshold) while I circle around.

Any hints? Is this room even possible?

This hold REALLY benefits from JtRH door ID...

Cheers,
Rothro

Hi,

I managed to cath the Lucky-Post-solution-imminent virus.
Solved it. Very clever indeed.

Cheers,
Rothro

I haven't

I've gotten to the point in the attached picture, but cannot figure out how to get the roach up to the smaller snake. I figure I need to put one of the three remaining mimics in the bottom of the three traps along the narrow path leading down, but then the roach ends up against the very left edge of the trapdoors (on the same horizontal row as me), and from there I have no way to stop it from getting stuck (or even get it off the left edge).

Any help is appreciated.
Kevin

I'm not sure whether there is more than one solution to this room, but from the way I solved it I can see you have used 2 mimics where you didn't need to.

Specifically:

I can see where I probably didn't need the bottom one, but not the top one. If I didn't use the top one, I couldn't prevent the roach from getting stuck on the force arrow straight above the bottom one I didn't need - I was one move short.

However, if I do manage to avoid using that one, I can see how to do the last part with 5 mimics remaining!

I'll give it a try.

Edit: Thanks! That did it.

Using mimics at 1 to 5 I can get the roach to 6 but can't get it anywhere else, I have tried the other mimics at various places but no success. Please help me. I think I need a demo for this room if anyone has one.

Thanks for the hint but it hasn't helped. I am still completely stuck on this room and am getting really frustrated. Does anyone please have a demo to help me or step by step instructions as I am having a complete mental block here.

I have killed the SE snake using mimics numbered 1 to 4 and am at 5. I can't find a way to get down the long strip to reach the NW snake. All my unused mimics are at the bottom and I can't get to them. Help please someone. !!!!

I think that you have suffered enough with this room Jools so have attached a demo - prepare to kick yourself.

Thanks Delver, I hadn't registered the fact that the arrows at the top were pointing upwards. I have given myself a good kick.
