Eee... (I hate this room)

This may spoil it for you, but...


And one more thing...

Never, never, never kill any part of the tar mother if you are standing in a corner. You have been warned!

I've read all of the hints but still no success. I can get in the area below the tar mother but I don't have time to kill any part of the mother. This makes me think that somewhere I'm taking too many moves but I'm not sure where. I remember spending ages on this level in Webfoot Drod but this time around I'm doing much worse. Any ideas?

Well, there's not much more that we can do to help, apart from giving you an exact solution. The last thing I can suggest is to use that square chamber with a wall in the centre near the Tar Mother as a 'safe zone'.

If you need more help, tell us as precisely as possible where you get to, and what keeps going wrong, so we can give more specific hints without spoiling the whole room for you.

It definitely took me several tries to do this room...once I killed half of the tar mother then died before getting the other half, and I was really pissed. Anyway, I think if you go close to the end of the passageway right below the tar mother, the 'Neather will close that door, and will only open it when you move far away from it again, so you may be able to use that to your advantage to get the tar babies to only come at you from one side. I can't guarantee this always works, but definitely you need to remember the advice of level 17...

Game on,
