I can't even begin to start this room. This is my second play through, and I remember that but I still can't get anywhere. Help would be appreciated.

Every man and his dog has asked about this one. There must be something here on the board about it.

I've searched, but found no tips for how to start.

Links to other posts on this topic: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

I know that at least two of those discuss hints on which room to start in.

Game on,

I know which room I'm supposed to start in. I said I remember that part in my very first post. What I can't remember is what to do in the room you're supposed to start in.

Okay, well, if you know what room you are supposed to start in, then you know that you aren't going to stay there. You need to go back and forth between the two rooms until you can make it to each tar mother. It's really hard to give specific hints beyond what is given in the other posts I linked to. And there are some hints there that may be what you need to know, you just don't realize it yet.

Look, I know that these rooms suck...I think they were the most aggravating on this level. But I kept telling myself, "you made it this far, you can do this too." And I eventually beat them. It took perhaps more pure trial and error than any other room, which is why it is hard to give any real specific directions out. I do remember that it was much easier to get in and kill the mothers than it was to get out again, so if you are tearing your hair out now...

Just keep trying, only one more level after this one!

Game on,

I swear level 24 will be a cakewalk after level 21. God that level's annoying me.

Then again, Clayton reckons level 23's the hardest, so maybe my suffering isn't quite over.

Edit because I'm an annoying parrot and won't shut up: I was wrong. Level 23 was indeed hard, but level 24 really is god-awful.

Just 18 more rooms to go until it's all over...
