What you should do then is to get her where she can't get you (read the descriptions, it helps a lot!), and then try to open the murder hole. That's all I can really say. And when it comes to getting her into there, you really have to wear her down. But if you just keep working at it, you'll eventually get it. HINT: You only use the strength stone (or what ever stone that was) once. And then the only weapon you have to worry about using after that is the chain. Hope you get her.

Anytime ;)
