I've killed all the roaches I can on this one without tripping the trapdoor, but once I do and bring the maze down I can't figure out how to survive the wave of roaches. I've tried pointing my sword at all the angles and going in all the directions I can think of, but no luck.

If you kill all the roaches you can reach, then the only ones left should be in the Southwest corner. So, put your sword southwest, then after you drop the trapdoor, move to the North of it and stay there. Any roaches that come at you will be blocked from the South, leaving two directions that you can cover with your sword. After they are all dead, you can kill the ones that got blocked by the pit.

Game on,

Good answer, but may I suggest perhaps dividing it into a couple of sections leaving a set of secret tags around the 'this is exactly what to do' bit...
Cheers

Mmmm, I always treat each H&S reply on a case-by-case basis, and I didn't feel that this one deserved secret tags. The room is relatively straightforward, the person asking for help merely needed assistance on roach smiting techniques, which shouldn't be secret in my opinion. Also, the original poster essentially revealed the solution in their post, so it's already been spoiled.

So, I respectfully disagree. :)

Game on,
