Okay. Once you enter there is no way out until the bombs explode. I think I have identified the only safe place but cannot get to it in time. Both ways of triggering it seem too far away to safely navigate the bombs to get there. Can someone help me with whatever it is that I am missing?

IT NEVER FAILS. Figured it out.

i think it's another way you have to walk. i prefer the variant to kill the goblin before the bombs are exploding. but i can't find out how to be so fast...

There must obviously be some trick to this - or maybe my posting luck will hold out.....?

I have been working on the assumption that:




I think my problem is getting there in time. I seem to be always about 4 moves short, depending on which rotation I am in on entering. Help!

I'm having this exact same problem. I'm in the very same situation, except I'm 3 moves away from getting there. Maybe it's just me, but I really am not seeing the trick here. Can anyone give me a hint? Am I going about this all wrong? Or do I just have to find some way to shave off a few more steps? Or maybe is there some way to make Halph take a few more steps that I'm just not seeing?

Well, the phenomenon where one posts for help and then figures out the solution directly after strikes again. I feel especially stupid now. For those who are stuck as I was:
