Another one that has me flummoxed. I know what I need to do, I just can't see how it's possible.

What I really like about this family of holds is that I can try several rooms simultaneously. The downside is that I look like a slacker when I "hit the wall" in these same rooms.

I've got the same problem other folks appear to have had, withouth the corresponding ability to solve yet. I've tried the hint from the first response, yet there is never a monster in position to act as a block. However, the rooom is possible, so perhaps I shouldn't be taking the hint too literally . . .

Any additional hints are welcome.

I'm not great at hints. If you'd like, a demo can be posted.

I appreciate the offer and may take you up on that . . . but I hate to be reduced to full-fledged plagiarization.

I'm burning up Beethros on another hold right at the moment, anyway -

Man! Without any new posts here, there should be enough hints for me to do this, but I still can't get there. I get the mimic to (1) with beethro at (2)and I need one more square west to get to the wall. I hit both orbs and the walls are up along the edge. I can't find any thing to push off of to get further west including the stream of babies from NW.

HELP!

Ummm... so what is your demo for this room doing next to mine on CaravelNet, then? ;)

(I hope you don't mind me posting your demo, but yours was 3 turns faster... ;))

np: Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician - Static Medium (Afterthought)

Thanks Kurt.

I only see the top 8 demos (which includes neither of us in this case).

That can be fixed - just hop over here and set "Number of high scores to view per room (in-game):" to "Top 25"...

(That's been added some time ago, but I guess it wasn't advertised much...)

np: Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician - Cold Memory (Afterthought)
