Like many other folks, I'm stuck at the end of Act III with escaping the Kickimore Queen. I have 2 saves, each of which I've replayed many times.

From one of the saves I can get to the end of the tunnel and drop the ceiling on the Queen, but Geralt dies too even though he's standing well back from the cave-in.

From the other save Geralt just cannot get beyond the kikimore workers and either dies when the Queen catches him, or he dies when he dumps the first support on himself (not even touching the Queen) right after the small cut scene after he's run across the first room.

I'm embarrassed to say that I'm doing the game on easy mode. My only excuse for that (and still having trouble) is that I'm 70 years old and my reactions are slow and I have arthritis in my hands. But I'm loving the game and really, really want to play on.

I've watched the videos, and nothing is as clear when I do it as it looks in the videos. I'm using swallow and tawny owl. Help please!
