I looked at the other posts for this room and none of them seem to help me. I think for this room I'm going to need a walkthrough. I still can't seem to manuver the mimiic through the arrows. Pleas tell me how. Thanks.

I'm wondering which force arrows the mimic won't get stuck on because I think I've tried every one possible so I'm very confused.

I'm still very confused. Am I supposed to follow along the arrows or am supposed to go in the blank areas?

I'm not sure I understand the question - you go in the blank area. The mimic goes in the arrow section. You need to get it to the other side without trapping it on an arrow.

I'm sorry. In the arrow section, there's the spots with the arrows and then there are areas that are blank with nothing and the mimic can walk freely in those areas without getting stuck. You say that there are arrows that the mimic will not get stuck on. Which are they? Thanx.

This room seems incredibly confusing and when I get to it I will seek out this thread again. I upgraded you to a goblin because I am catching up with you in KDD! Finally! And, If you complete DROD before me, I will cry.

You probabably will finish it before me because I'm taking a vacation soon and won't be back for a month.

Blargh! I kept on putting the mimic at the bottom right roach, killing it immmediately, and getting stuck maneuvering the mimic to the top of the maze using the 3x5 and 3x14 connected corridors. I searched for help using that technique, but found nobody else having the same problem I was having. Finally, however, after an hour of mere frustration, I got the mimic to the end (it was a feat in itself) only to realize that there was no progression from that point on. Haha, however, if a future level (I haven't finished the game) doesn't use such a technique (very mind-boggling) it would be a definite twist to what this room is (rather easy now that I realize my mistake)

×It's obvious that, at some point, Beethro's path will be blocked by a wall, so you need to be able to move Beethro without the mimic moving to reposition yourself. I don't think I am giving anything away by telling you that the only way to to do so is to step onto an arrow - it's already been pointed out which type of arrow. There's two slightly different ways of completing the room, so you need to find one of two arrows which will allow you to move Beethro whilst the mimic stays in place. Obviously, you need the mimic to be able to step off the arrow again so you can continue on your journey.

Please help! I am just not able to get started in the arrow area. I can't even get more than a little way into it. I hate to ask but may I have some step by step help? Thanks

Hope this helps! If you're still stumped, you can ask for a demo...

OK, well...the thing to remember about this room is that you can safely trap the mimic on diagonal force arrows in order to do some realignment. This has to be done carefully, but it should allow you to position yourself to keep the mimic off of the force arrows that it won't be able to leave again.

The last stretch getting down to the roach is definitely the hardest.

A little more explicit help here:

This depicts the path I took the mimic on. Note that almost the entire right half of the arrow maze is a big dead end, as there's no way for the mimic to get through that passageway in the middle.

Hope this helps! If you're still stumped, you can ask for a demo...

I guess that I just cannot get this arrow work. Also, I do not have the right version to import demos.

What exactly didn't work about jbluestein's advice? It will help us refine the hints if you can tell us what didn't work.

And you can still upload demos in your version of DROD, you just need to have demos from that version to upload. As long as people know which version you have (which is, I think, AE), they can supply the correct demo if they happen to have it available.

Game on,

I was not moving on the arrows the correct way. Now I see how. I would like a demo. Version 2.0.13.0 Thanks

Well, wait, sorry...I actually meant the version of the hold, not what engine you are playing it in. Are you playing the original King Dugan's Dungeon in 2.0.13, or are you playing the remade King Dugan's Dungeon 2.0 in 2.0.13? The remade one has speech and secret rooms and stuff like that.

One last hint before you tell us which hold version and someone looks for a demo...

Game on,

It is the remade one with music and speech. I downloaded it in April 2006.

Here's a demo that should work. You know how to import and watch it, right? F6 in-game, blah blah blah. If not, we can explain, or it is in the Help files in-game.

Game on,
