Strategy[]
Like the layout of this level? Wait till you see the next one...
So how to finish this level? First, allow only one Lemming to wander ahead, use two Blockers to keep the rest at bay, as usual. Raise the release rate to 99. Mostly, you will have to use two Builder skills on the rocks and ground pieces that form Nessie's "body" until you reach the "neck" (which will require about four Builder skills). When you do, use a Basher skill, then a Digger skill. You need to dig until you're at the same height as Nessie's "waving fin", then use a second Basher skill. Once your cleared the neck, as before, you shall need Builder skills - you still have more than enough. One last Builder skill will be needed to get over the well near the exit - that may be tricky as your Lemming tends to finish the ramp prematurely and turn back. If you fear this is gonna happen, use your Miner skill, then a Builder. When your Lemming reaches the exit, the course will be clear.
If you still have a Miner skill, you may save one of the Blockers. If not, well, it's detonation time for them. The rest will reach the exit without trouble.
