This Sokoban level has the lowest amount of pits with respect to boulders. The level is not very hard. There are 10 boulders and 9 pits.

Note that if a monster gets to the room with the scrolls of earth, he may try to read one. Thus, try to lure them to the bottom right room, where that scroll will have less disastrous effects.

Strategy

The following solution solves the level without putting any boulders in an immobile position. Faster solutions which do not necessarily leave every boulder free might exist. You can watch an instructional video.

All boulders are replaced by letters so they can be referred to. Moving the boulders is shortened to r for right, l for left, u for up, d for down. An asterisk is used to denote the last move filled a pit (and thus removed the boulder from the game). So Nddrr* means move boulder N two times down and two times to the right into a pit.

Make some room and move to the lower right room:

------  -----  A r
|....|  |...|  C u
|.A..----.B.|  D rlll llll
|.C......D..|  E ddd
|..---@---E.|  
|---------.--- 
|..^^^<|.....| 
|..----|F....| 
--^|   |.G...|
 |^-----.H...|
 |..^^^^I.J..|
 |??----------

Clean the lower right room:

------  -----  H l
|....|  |...|  I l*
|.CA.----.B.|  J llll*
|..D........|  E dddl llll*
|..---@---..|  G ddll lll*

|..----|F.E..|
--^|   |.G...|
 |^-----.H...|
 |..^^^^I.J..|

Pick up the two scrolls of earth. Remember to '#name' them and do not read them in Sokoban except when you misplaced some other boulders. First check whether they are blessed or cursed.

Finish the level with three of the remaining boulders:

------  -----  B dddd dddd llll llll uuuu r*
|....|  |...|  D rrrr rrrd dddd ddll llll lluu uurr*
|.CA.----.B.|  C drrr rrrr rddd dddd llll llll uuuu rrr*

|..--->---..|

The level is now finished. Remember to check under the A boulder for possible usable objects. (If you want to be able to use it later, push it to the left.
