EDIT #1:
Nevermind, I figured it out. Unfortunately too late.

In a new run, I learned that you can grab items as you're roll-dodging. So the solution would've been to drop the TV by the starting edge and then grab it as you initiate the roll-dodge so that you land on the next edge with the TV on hand.

EDIT #2:
As Comegetsome mentioned below, you can also throw the TV across the gap. I had not considered this sooner because, in my experience, holding G only dropped it at my feet. Perhaps because until now I've only done so on the Sell Creep's grate and it behaves as a drop instead of a throw there.


Now I feel rather foolish.

How am I supposed to get the Busted TV across this room? I must roll-dodge to jump gaps, but that causes the TV to drop.

I cannot go around the room. It was the third in a linear path starting with the elevator shaft.

I cannot leave the TV for more than a few seconds or the Resourceful Rat steals it. Leaving it there and then teleporting it to a cleared room further ahead is not an option.

I thought maybe the TV was fine if I left it in elevator shaft maintenance room. Wrong. Now it's gone.

The only way I can figure is to fly across with Wax Wings -OR- the ability to carry more items in conjunction with either the Grappling Hook or Jetpack. (While the Grapple Hook DID spawn in the First Chamber shop, I could not afford it and would've had to leave it behind for the TV anyway.)

Is this a bug in need of fixing, or should I just chalk this frustration up to the sometimes-cruel random nature of roguelikes?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Unfortunately too late.

In a new run, learned that you can grab items as you're roll-dodging. So the solution would've been to jump back and forth across the gap several times.

Once to drop the TV by the edge.
Twice to return to the side with the TV.
Thrice, grabbing the TV as you initiate the roll-dodge.

U can throw the tv as well as any other active item.. U can do a short or long throw. Always go long imo, I tried short once in doing the tv quest and it fell Into the gap

You actually helped me out! Thanks!

You could also just 'use' the TV to throw it in whatever direction you're aiming.

I had to find out you can throw the stupid TV. I am so glad I only had to do this once as it was very tedious.

yeah throwing the damn thing doesn't work either... throws it always against an invisible wall...

just FU Dodge Roll...
