First one to post on this room, so I must be missing something completely obvious. How do I start???

Never mind - I think I've got it

the start of this should be clear to see. you must use the mimic. and you have not too many points where you can place the mimic to do his job. so you also should know what's the problem of this room to become part of the perfection hold. the question i have is: how far can you walk on before you're stucking?

so the problem in this part is surely to get the tar baby in front of your sword (or beside it)

it is easier than you suspect. but this is the whole hold (if you even know how to do the jobs)

Since there is only one trapdoor in the whole room - what second trapdoor?

Ouch... totally looked over that one.

Anyhow, already spoilered (no, I won't write "secreted"... ) the solution a bit farther up... and Larry's demo might also help a bit...

np: µ-Ziq - 4 Time Egg (Tango n' Vectif (Disc 2))

I almost forgot why I hated perfection type rooms. Almost.

I can do most of this room just fine up until the fourth chamber with the tar baby and the walls forming and 8-shape of sorts (not the final chamber with the three bars of tar babies contained in a red door).

On the one hand, I can kill the brain by going as fast as possible, but it will leave me nowhere to retreat, so I die next turn to the tar baby. On the other hand, if I kill the tar baby, I move in such a way where I can't so much as move to the brain to kill it without setting off the bomb trap prematurely, and making the room unsolvable. Similarly, since I have to face W, I can't rotate my sword or else I'll set off the bombs, and, well, there goes the room's solvability.

Am I missing something? Is there some cheeky path I'm not taking? Some obvious way to halt the mimic I just didn't see?

EDIT: Oh hey! If there's one thing I wouldn't miss, it's my
Chronic H&S Syndrome. If you're a dummy like me...
