Where am I supposed to go in this maze?
  • 1 of 7: You need to eventually find your way around to the NW sector of the starting floor.
  • 2 of 7: Use the game's map view to help you navigate through the maze.
  • 3 of 7: First, go to the center room, where there's a treasure chest. (Note that it looks like a normal chest, but it's really a black chest, and therefore has a Lock Difficulty of 24 and an artifact treasure.)
  • 4 of 7: Then head east to get to the rope bridge that you can see on your map in the NE corner.
  • 5 of 7: From the other side of that bridge, so south and west along the ledge until you make it to a door.
  • 6 of 7: Checking your automap, you'll see that you're now in the NW sector of the main floor.
  • 7 of 7: Move along the corridor, avoiding fireball traps as best you can, until you reach a lift that will take you up to the top level, which is where you need to be to jam up Njam for good.
