×-I have exactly enough time to freeze the aumtlich if I do a particular manipulation, which requires my sword to face NE as soon as I take the horn.
-However, if I don't release the roach, the soldier will get ahead of me and draw the aumtlich's attention instead. But if I do release the roach, it comes after me.
-The only way I can see of preventing this is to use a golem or its corpse to block the roach.
-I can get both golems let out with the (14,21) plate by killing the third golem; the problem is that I can't see any way of getting the soldier far enough northeast to make the aumtlich face north with just one golem and an awake eye. I can get the eye to follow me into the north passage, but it's one tile behind me, so I get stuck at the first door.

× first and foremost, the aumtlich must be frozen. By whom?

× It is possible to manipulate an eye in the northern alcove and place it there (13,1).

× In order to do that, what "tools" do you have available? You already figured it out, but used them for the wrong purpose.

× For the roach, can you see something to prevent it from going out? What does the orb at 23,1 do?

×Specifically, when I did that the soldier got closer to the aumtlich so I couldn't freeze it.

× freeze the aumtlich yourself; this is not the correct approach. It is the stalwart that must freeze the aumtlich.

× The correct position for freezing the aumtlich is NE.

× How can you force the stalwart to face NE? Wouldn't be nice if there was something in the northern alcove that can attract the stalwart?

× And how can you stop the stalwart from going after the roach? That answer is in mt first reply, which is, using the orb.

×The stalwart kills the eye while standing at 10,3
