Finally, the last room I have to conquer before the blue door.

I can see I have to build a bridge from the golems, and so far I've managed to get quite far across. However I can't get a golem into the the top row so I can kill the Eye.

If I try to distract one with decoys it always moves to the square below them rather than to the side of it, and comes running for me before I get anywhere near enough to kill it anyway. I've tried killing it with another decoy, but the stepping stones I've already made always seem to be covered with another decoys sword.

Arrgh any clues please?

There are many ways to do this one.

My solution was to use the decoys to tie the giants down so they couldn't move. Then build the path.

This is the pattern I used for tying them down:

Depends on how you're going about it. In my case it practically built itself, because after breaking up a giant, I killed the remaining golems in the next three turns (the first two because they were going to kill me).

As far as a hint... well, the bridge only has to go 4 tiles, so you have spares. I stacked up mine, killing golems on top of stepping stones.

There really isn't much in the way of options where you can pin them down. Pin one down right by the eye, and the other below that.

I can't even get these guys normally WITH the clone potions. What do I do? I've tried pinning them down, but there's no luck in that when the golems themselves will all die on the same spot I just made...

I've been working on the no drinking challenge for days and I can stab a giant next to the eye, but can't kill the golems before they move south. I keep ending up with a rock pile on the spot I need to stand.

And Yitze's hint isn't making any sense:
