The seep must go all the way to the Stalwart, so I can press the conquer token, that much is clear.
Therefore, the pressure plate near Halph and Fegundo needs to be held down ~12 turns or so.
Since Fegundo ashes only last 4 turns (not to mention I cannot explode the Fegundo there anyway), I need Halph to press the plate and HOLD IT down.

And that's what I'm having trouble with, how do I make him actually stay in place?
I can make him return to the plate if I change his direction while he stands there, but then he surely moves, thus killing the seep. I cannot be on the other side to occupy the seep, because I'm changing the request.
The Fegundo has not been particularly helpful to me either. :no

So... What magic am I missing?

It can be useful to think about what you've already learned on the level.

For instance, you know that Halph can change his "home" tile by receiving another command. But as you've noted, that doesn't seem to resolve the problem here.

So is there another way to make him change his "home" tile?

I didn't realise that

I don't think this was explicitly mentioned before, which might be the source of my confusion.
I thought that Halph stays put once hitting the orb, because the route is already blocked.

Anyways, thank you both; solved!
