hi. i’ having trouble with this level, can anyone help me?  
here’s my code:

```python
while True:
    gem = hero.findNearest(hero.findItems())
    if gem:
        clear = hero.isPathClear(hero.pos, gem.pos)
        # The isPathClear method tells you if there’s an obstacle in the way.
        # If it’s clear, move() to gem.pos.
        if hero.isPathClear(gem.pos, {"x":40, "y":35}) == False:
            hero.moveXY(40, 35)
        if clear:
            hero.move(gem.pos)

```

Instead of this put an _else_.  
Do you need any more assistance at this level?

Or to keep it simpler, keep this statement, and then underneath put an else (ie for all other possibilities).

My code let me collect all the gems with a ‘if clear move to gem; else move to the middle’ structure. If you’ve tried it and it still isn’t working, can you post your code again?

doesn’t the hero go directly into the bear traps if he goes to the middle after having picked a gem that was hidden behind bear traps?
