sorry for all of these posts, but this one is really difficult and there isn't a post for it yet. i try to do it, but the queen roach just keeps getting stuck due to the force arrows

I was stuck on this room for a long time myself. There's a bit of a hint in the thread on the Holds forum. I'm going to assume that you have figure out how to get to the switchback that goes out to the West the farthest, so you are always 1 move short of preventing a roach from getting on the arrows.

Well...this is a very hard hold. I would advise, if you are very new to DROD, that you try some easier holds first, and get used to some of the subtleties of DROD.

But to be more specific about what you need to do:

i still can't solve it. the best result i've got is shown in the attached picture. in this situation i (think i) have only one choice:

wait for the next spawn and wait on 'till the new roach is 2 steps north from the trapdoor. then run. but in this case the next new roach will stuck on the secondleft arrow in the upper row :|

could you help me up a little bit more?

Zaubberer, You're in a quite good situation.
You see the 3 roaches in the next area, you must kill them but without moving to the other chamber. This because you'll not be able to reach the moment when the roach of the next spawn willn't be stuck in the arrows. It's quite confusing I know.

The point is to move to the next chamber without having to kill those 3 roaches.
