I would start by reading carefully the room, mob and object descriptions to see if they left any clues in those. Without some clue from the various descriptions i would never be about to work out how to do something, my brain just does not work that way.

I think your best bet would be to talk out the problem with other players of said game as they will already understand the nuances and subtleties that the building staff on said game employ in the various quests and puzzles on offer and would be able to offer much more insight into how the builder might have been thinking when making the zone.
