This is probably one of the toughest challenges yet. A true test of any smitemaster. I passed

Very nice, took a few tries to get it right.

I can do it using one particular orientation starting from ANY of the 4 entrances... can anybody do it with different orientations?

I don\'t know, I just did it entering the north-west passage facing east. There are probably more ways, but I haven\'t got any time...yet!

Yeah, that\'s a tough one. I tried it first from the southwest...bad idea. I then started in the northwest, and had trouble with the south east until I figured it out. Gotta keep a close eye on those tiles...

Once I did it that way, I tried from the southwest again. Didn\'t take me too long to realize what I had to do, and boy that was...tense. But I was able to do it, and after that, the southwest and northeast entrances are pretty much the same. Although, the northeast entrance is hardest, having to attack all three main regions from unfavorable angles.

Game on,

Is this particular orientation East?

As an answer to your question, I have found 8 different ways to do this challenge. You can do it by...



I think these are all of them, but I might be wrong, so if you find another way to do it, then reply!

Thanks for the help. I've done it (408 moves).

Memo to self: just because something can be done does not mean it should be done.
