All right, all right, I yield. I need...a hint. A nudge. A pointer in the right direction.

My record is, I think, ten, at which point I'm stuck behind a solid wall of golem. Any advice?

I'm needing a little help here too.

I can get all but 4 golems out of the first batch, but this leaves me at the end of two full columns of golem, nowhere to go, and two golems in the narrow passage left. If I kill one, I have now blocked myself.

Going nuts, because I can't see any way to kill more golems in the space I've got and still be able to pass through.

As far as my memory serves me..

This is one of those times where movement order makes a difference.

I believe you start:

That's not helping me much, because that's what I've been doing. Once I kill the first golem, I can't advance more than one more square forward, by turning my sword SE and stepping SW. And from there, I end up filling every square back to the start, with too many golems left over to squeeze through the remaining gap.

I figure the point is to make a barrier a bunch get caught behind, but I can't see how to do that without blocking the whole passage, and there's too many to kill em all and leave a path through. Completely stuck on this.
