Strategy

The following solution solves the level without making any boulders 'stick', but may not be the fastest solution possible; improvements on solving and move organization are welcome.

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 "N ddrr*" means move boulder N two times down and two times to the right into a pit.

First set of moves:

  ------------ 
 --..|.....|<| G dddd d
 |..A|BC.D.|^| J rrr*
 |-......E-|^| I rrrr rr*
 |...|.F..||^| 
 |@G.|-.---|^| 
 --.--|H|  |^|
---.--|.|  |^|
|....--.----^|
|.I..J..^^^..|

Second set of moves:

  ------------ 
 --..|.....|<| G urrr rrrr*
 |..A|BC.D.|^| K urrr rrrr rrru*
 |-......E-|^| 
 |...|.F..||^|

Along the way, be sure pick up the two scrolls of earth as soon as possible to ensure that no monsters get a hold of them; remember to verify their beatitude before reading them in Sokoban, and only do so if you have misplaced or broken some other boulders.

Third set of moves:

  ------------ 
 --..|.....|<| A dd
