...same player shoots again!

i think i will get a lot of rank points with this hold by posting on and on!

some queens are relatively easy to handle, but for some others i'd have once more no idea how to bring them down without spawning. the next problem is how to sort them at the exit. i believe that queen number five must be the first on the way to find a fine place in the arrows at the exit. but whei i do so then i can't lure number three correct.... :no

i also don't understand the hint from the watcher, but may be that this is only a lie to confuse me even more...

Well, first, the hint in the room is not lying to you.

Click here to view the secret text


A large part of this room is finding places where queens can "turn corners". For example, the 2nd queen from the right is going to have to be pushed West before you push her east. In general, you can't make a queen go the other way unless she runs up against a wall. So the trick is finding the walls.

The diagram below shows the walls that I used for each queen

Don't forget that most monsters (queens included) prefer vertical movement to horizontal movement when they get stuck on a corner

Also, don't be afraid to crack a few eggs at the right time.

Arr. I used the hint that the dude gave me, and I figured out the first six queens. But now I can't figure out how to get queens 1 and 4 down to where I need them....

Yes, I had figured that one out. I really loved that puzzle.
You first have to think hard... and then you have to stop thinking and RUN. Congratulations, Larry, that room really has an atmosphere :thumbsup

Hmm..
I don't get the idea of this room at all.
Can't even manage the first queen!
I thought i knew how to handle roaches but this is beyond my imagination.
So, how to start?

humble thanks

The goal here is to get the queens to the bottom set of arrows (where you can kill them), but without spawning any roaches for most of the room (because they'll run up to you and get stuck).

That means that you want to time and steer the queens so that when the spawn clock hits 30 they're somewhere that they won't spawn.

A queen won't spawn on:

Does that help?

Aha! Took me a bit more staring at the arrows, but once the first queen was safely at home the others followed quite easily. The last two were a bit tricky though.. But thanks to A LOT of checkpoints I managed it.

Maybe if someone told me how to even do roach queen number three, that would help, I can't see how to do any of them!

I totally forgot about this thread. During the forum blackout I managed to figure out this room, the rest of the rooms on Perfect five, and half the rooms on Perfect six. Awesome hold Larry! It's just..... Perfect! :D

I don't even know how to get started here. I can get 3 just fine alone, but with getting 5 it heads into the crevice where I won't be able to kill it at the very end, and effectively softlocks my attempt. And as far as I'm aware, I NEED to get them, AND 2, at the same time...?
