icon Nanfro Budkin's First Dungeon : 8-Bad Bottom : 1 North, 2 West (0)  


This is one of the two rooms that have me climbing the walls (the other is THRICE EAST). I have been able to clear areas 4 and 5 but have not been able to clear the other areas.

With respect to the Goblins in the lower west corner, I can kill 2 leaving a path to the exit (starting at the top and going down the left side to the bottom and out). The problem is that I have a goblin sitting at 1 that won't cooperate by moving sufficiently far away from 1 that I can manipulate or kill it. Hints are welcome.

With respect to the snake and tar in the upper west corner, I can get to position 2. Once I open the door, I must kill the tar mother before the second spawn to avoid creating a baby in the southern tar area. To do this, I need to place the mimic in the northeast corner (6), kill the roach and the brains and hit the orb. Then, I need to hit the second orb in the northeast corner, kill any babies that have spawned, kill the snake and the tar mother. Just seems impossible. Or am I missing something obvious.

Finally, with respect to the roach and snake in area 3. I can't survive getting to the first orb because I cannot create enough distance between me and the roach to allow me to dig through the walls and hit the orb. I can't kill the roach because I need it to kill the snake. Again, what am I missing?

Thanks.

I can't help you with the other two areas, and I've never played this room, but I can give you a general tip with the roach/snake area.

Once your sword's in the right orientation, clear out the first few blocks at either end and then go for it.

Thanks but I've already done that. I can get to the orb but cannot get away at that point.

Well your comment made me rethink because it is certainly something I have tried.

Which leaves me still frustrated because of my problems in areas 1 and 2.

Don't forget the trapdoors under the force arrows in the entrances in the other cells - you have to do all the other chambers before the goblin chamber.

Yeah, I saw that afterwards. I think I need a demo because I simply am not getting this one.

I'm not sure whether you cleared this room or not, but I've done it recently so can help you out if you're still stuck. One of your assumptions above is incorrect:

I must be particularly dense when it comes to this level. I have cleared levels 1-7 but am having real trouble with a few rooms on 8. In this one, 1N2W I have cleared the eyes and attempted all the other bits with no success. Can't get to the orb at 2 with the tar mother, keep getting killed while going for orb to open door. Can't do the snake either as roach keeps getting me. first bit with all the orbs has me stumped keep getting stuck in there. someone please help. :~(

Thanks for help but I must be really dense as I can't get far enough ahead of roach to get it in place when I'm at 2. it follows too closely, due to brains in top right maybe? do I need to do that first? If so need help getting orb to open trapdoor in top left. before tar babies kill me.

Yes, you have to kill the brains first. So, for the NW section:

Thanks for the help. I am now busy disposing of the brains hopefully will crack this level now. :thumbsup having cleared all the brains and returned to the roach/snake section. I can hit the orb but can't get roach to enter snake chamber. now what am I missing? :~(

Can someone help me with the brains in this room? I keep getting stranded, too far from the remaining brains. Where should I start?

I started at the top right brain, headed left, then worked down to bottom right then back to the left but I'm sure there are lots of ways of clearing them.

Can anybody help me please? I can't get in to the eye section with out getting the one eye trapped. Am I missed something obvious? I can do the rest of the eyes quite easily but how to get into the chamber without waking and then trapping the one eye is proving too hard for me.

I just stepped on the arrow, and he went after me as a brained eye, avoiding the force arrow.
