Personally I have been in the maze for 5 days now, and it seems to me there are only dead ends. I have been building a map along the way, but it seems I have tried all paths, without success.
Quite frustrating, considering the time it takes to make every move.
I have also considered the viscosity, but that didn't help much.
I'm now on my way back, cold and low on food, need to reach MDA and Marind Bell quickly!
