I am not actually asking for help on how to solve the problem, but on how to enter it so that I can *try* to solve it.

I have explored all rooms I could find, and all staircases leading down to other levels, but I have only been able of beating two rooms on this level for now (1W and 1S 1W).

A lil help please? Thanks!

If I remember correctly in the entrance to headache you are advised that the room can be completed using only one mimic, do so and you will be a ble to go down the staircase in the top left of that room.

*That* was it? I recall about those two rooms, but I wouldn't have thought they hid a secret. Thanks!

I know I must kill all 22 roaches, deposit four mimics, and move about 10 squares . . . all in 35 moves. It actually takes me much more than that.

Yes, I know. Be more efficient. I've been stuck here for a week, and this is no longer fun. Can anyone provide a preferred sequence of moves after the first 15 or so?

Thanks -

I suppose that during the first 15 moves you've got Beethro safe in the middle of the mimic potions while haven't drunk any of them yet.

Next moves are simple: smite roaches al long as you can kill a roach every turn.Then it becomes tricky. To solve the rest of the room you have to exploit the fact that potions act as walls for the monsters, but not for you. Starting now, you will have to mix roach killing and potion drinking. The first task is to kill those three abovementioned roaches the most efficient way: one turn = one kill.Then deal with two roaches behind the northern potions. You'll need to rotate sword NE, then N to do that and drink one more potion while killing them.I'm sure once you do this, you should be able to kill the rest roaches yourself.

Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. Got it with *zero* moves to spare.

Nothing like a room like this to make me feel lost . . .

(Edit . . . .this is frustrating. I completed 1S, and now my only option is to go back to the Headache level. How do I get into the rest of the rooms on this level? Aaugh!!)

You have to go to it from several hidden rooms hidden throughout the entire landscape.

In other words, one room at a time - find another hidden room to go back down here.
