 * The Maze is most easily completed by dropping a single coin in it's first room. '''You need to remember to bring at least one coin with you!''' Alternatively, dropping any item in your possession will work as well.

Make sure to write this exit down. Repeat this procedure for every subsequent room - you will have to start from the first room each time you find an incorrect exit. Note: There are approximately 15 rooms (excluding the first and penultimate ones).
 * The last room of the maze is unique and the UD will appear on scan - this room can be used to self-spell.
