do you think so?

there's a way to the tar mother and there's a point near the entree to her where you can avoid that to many babies will spawn...

I simply don't understand where the "left down corner" is? Can you let me know relative to the graphic enclosed?

I am entering at the top left (the only way I can see into the mother). The problem I continually run into is the lower left and right hand corners of the area she is in. I always seem to cut the wrong way someway along the line and these end up as circles which can't be destroyed.

You help is appreciated

You do realise that you don't need to clear all the tar in the room to drop the green doors, right?

Here's the room picture again:

In your image, you're at spot 1. Just go to spot 2 with your sword at 3 and wait for the spawn. After the spawn, move to 3 and take care of the tar babies. Then, go to 4 with your sword facing East. It's an edge, not a corner, and it's completely cuttable. Back up to 5 to take care of the tar babies, and go headfirst into that tar!

I finally figured it out. All you have to do is cut down the left-hand side to the left lower corner and then gradually whittle away at the left and bottom sides. Thanks very much

Uh... may I ask on whether how to solve the sercret room for this level? (The pathway to the secret room is located at the upper left corner of the entrance)... Hoping for an immediate reply from those who knew how to solve the secret room... thanks!

You should probably be asking in the thread for that room, found here.

Hope this helps!

Uh, that's a room image, not a thread. The thread is here.

Anyway, there are plenty of hints in there.

Hi, I've cleared the room, and I can't figure out how to clear the tar with the potion when moving from bottom to top along the left. I was able to go the other way without problem, but for some reason I keep failing at the northbound path. Can anybody offer me some help, or even a walkthrough?

Why bother?

Generating a tar baby and leaving after the room is white doesn't cause it to turn red again.

? There's no other way to get from where I am to the level exit, is there? It looks like this is how the passage is designed (I'm supposed to clear the tar to go north or south). But I can't figure out how to clear the tar, and so the black door blocks my path.

Oh, I'm an idiot. Thanks for the help. =)

But...to get the black door to drop, I need to clear all tar, n'est-ce pas?

I didn't do that when I finished this room, and now it is preventing me from getting to the room directly south of the entrance.

I have one 3x4 blob of tar left to clear, and it seems that I need to do this with the mimic.

Should I be restoring the room, or is it possible to use the mimic to clear the tar?

If you drop the black door in the process of clearing the room, when you re-enter the room, the tar will be there again, and the black door will be up again.

It is possible to clear the tar with the mimic; remember that

×once you've cleared the room once, you don't need to kill any tar babies created by cutting tar.

Merci bien! I got through.
