    So here I am, blowing through the interior of a dead planet as per usual and rooting up various weapons that might prove interesting as well as accumulating monster materials, and I am of course going through every challenge door I can find too since it's all but free stuff at this stage. Though one in particular happens to be... well, sadistic. It's not a challenge of skill, but one of greed.

    While I'm not entirely sure how this one works (I didn't check with the wire tool) but I'd have to assume that in order to access one big chest, the hard light platform on the opposite side will cut out, sending either the cat or the bunny into the lava. Now, the correct solution in Glad Giraffe would be to capture both and then loot everything, but unfortunately I didn't have any on me, so I decided to just leave rather than take anything. Knowing my luck, the chests probably rolled some really good items.

    Though now I'm just irked because that cat's the only one I've seen so far that may be captureable, and here's me with no pods on me. Who knows when I'll roll that room again?

    I would send them both down into the lava if possible.

    Rough choice. I think you made the moral decision. If I had to pick one I'd save the cat though.

    The chests have a bunny hat and a kitty hat. I picked the cat of course, though I wish I could have saved both :c Also capture pods only work on critters in glad giraffe

    I think this is my favote challenge room. Not because I enjoy killing all mammals, but because rather than skill this bends your morals.

    If you have capture pods you can save both and take both chests.

    I'm pretty sure you can't take both chests. Stepping on one of the platforms dissolves the other and only opens the closer door.

    Actually, I wonder how this would work out in multiplayer.

    Yeah one chest at a time
    In talking about trying to save both animals. It turns out that doesn't work, the ledges act as pressure plates, i thought the platforms disappearing aren't keyed to the doors not the platforms themselves.

    I also ran into this room a bunch of times so i got the things in both chests just at different times.

    This thread is from pre 1.0. In the current version of the game you can capture creatures instead (and unless its been changed you need to bring the target down to 50% health first).

    I tried to capture the cat - threw several capture pods directly at it - but it never got picked up. Have they changed something to make it unable to be captured? Is anyone else having this issue?

    Edit: Nvm, had to weaken it first. Threw a molotov cocktail to lightly set it on fire, then caught it. Sorry kitty! I promise I will be nice to you now. :(

    I go with bunny then murder the bunny to make sure there are no witnesses, as to the acronym of the dead cat...
