Hi,

My first post! Really, REALLY enjoying JtRH. I loved AE and KDD but the scripting adds so much more to this already fantastic game (and it makes the hours at the office fly by )

Anyway, now that I've got the pleasantries out of the way, this room really has me stumped. I know it must be quite simple because there aren't any posts on it but I just can't get that mimic to go where I want him to.



Then





Any hints on how to do this room? I know I'm going to kick myself when I find out!

Sorry about the long post. Tried to be as descriptive as I could so that it proves I've tried the room at least 472 (480 by the time you read this) times.

Thanks in advance

×I've tried not killing either queen and trapping the mimic underneath or above a roach but that fails almost as soon as i've begun so...

That is pretty much what you want to do...well, almost.

Game on,

Ah, so I was on the right track.

What a shame I dont have a checkpoint where all the goblins are killed with the mimic placed at the bottom!

Thanks for the swift response.

At least I got something out of killing those goblins for the 497th time.



Thanks again

Everyone seems to be talking about moving the mimic around to get those queens.

Nobody's wondering how to kill six goblins in a room full of orthosquares without dying? I can't survive two seconds in there with them!
I can't be dealing with goblins; their movements are completely impossible to predict!

Demo please? Hints are no use to me at this stage.
When I get this stuck on something, I get into a paradigm of believing the puzzle is impossible without seeing the solution laid out for me.

Hope it'll help. (Beware: it includes the challenge and it's veeeery far from being optimized)
