Okay, uh... This is impossible.

Firstly, I can't make briar kill the roaches, because then the exit is blocked.
In that case, timeclone has to enter the section with two tunnels, as that part has no exits.
This implies that the real Beethro is the one killing the top roach, meaning he gets stuck on the arrows.
So those have to be disabled by striking the southernmost orb; which must be done by the timeclone.
However, when I strike that orb during the recording, it releases the briar, which immediately grows over the timetoken, destroying the ability to rewind - and thus I'm stuck.

What is it that I'm doing wrong? :unsure

Probably what you're doing wrong is striking that orb during recording.

Bah!!
THAT is why those arrows around the briar are all facing south instead of having diagonal ones at the edges...
Desynchronising is such a "back of the mind" concept to me, I need to be on the lookout for it better.

Thanks Fogel!
