Stalker folk hodgepodge maze. How to find a way out of the maze

  • 01.05.2020

Find a thing that you can use to mark each trail. It is important that the device chosen is suitable for taking notes on the labyrinth floor. For example, chalk can be used on hard surfaces such as wood or concrete. For other surfaces, think that you can leave behind, for example, bread crumbs or pebbles.

  • Whatever item you use, you should be able to make two different types of markings. You need to distinguish between the paths that you walked once and which ones walked two.

Choose a random trail and follow it to the next intersection. Each labyrinth has its own layout at the start. Some may begin at the intersection, while others will have only one path. In any case, choose any path and go forward until you reach an intersection or dead end.

Mark the trails as they pass. In order for the Luc-Tremo algorithm to work, it is very important to keep track of which paths you have already passed. Be sure to mark the beginning and end of each trail in any way you choose.

  • If this is your first time following a trail, you need to make one mark on it. If you use chalk, just draw one simple line. If you use objects, such as a handful of pebbles, leave a pebble at the beginning and at the end of the trail.
  • If you are following the trail a second time, mark it again. When using chalk, draw a second line, and in the case of objects, just leave the second behind.
  • If you are at a dead end, mark the path to recognize it as a dead end. For example, if you use chalk, mark the path with the letter “T”. Mark this next to the intersection that the trail leads to.
  • At intersections, give preference to unmarked trails. Every time you go to the intersection, take a moment to look at the marks on each trail. Some of them may be unmarked, while others will show that you have selected them once (or two). It is worth giving preference to unmarked trails. So you are more likely to move forward. If all trails are marked once, select one at random.

    Avoid paths marked twice. If you are forced to follow a path that you have already marked once, you should mark it a second time. According to the Lucas-Tremo algorithm, a double-marked trail will not lead you to the exit. If you find an intersection where one path is marked twice, always choose a different path, even if it means that you have to go back.

    Go back if you come across a dead end. If you are at a dead end, you need to return to the last intersection that you crossed. Remember to mark the trail to remember that it leads to a dead end. As soon as you reach the intersection, select one of the remaining paths and continue to cross the maze.

    Labyrinth - a new zone added in the Ascendancy expansion (patch 2.2), it must be completed in order to gain access to subclasses (climbing classes), as well as to access enchantment.

    For the first passage of the labyrinth on each of the difficulties, difficulties give 2 points, which can be invested in special passive abilities of subclasses.

    How to get into the maze

    To get into the main labyrinth you need to go through 6 small ones before that, they are located in the following locations:

    • Act 1: The Lower Prison
    • Act 2: Chamber of Sins Level 2
    • Act 2: Crypt Level 1 (The Crypt Level 1)
    • Act 3: The Crematorium
    • Act 3: The Catacombs
    • Act 3: The Green Maze (The Hedge Maze) - this location does not have a direct teleport from the city, you can get into it from the location Imperial Gardens (The Imperial Gardens)

    The entrance to the main labyrinth is in the city of the third act:

    Mini-labyrinths must be completed once, after which access to the main labyrinth will be open forever (for the current difficulty).

    Boss

    In the main labyrinth, you have 3 battles with the main boss - Izaro. It has several different versions, with different types of helpers.

    First phase. In the first phase, statues help him. They appear gradually. In one variation you can kill, in the other - only temporarily deactivate. Kill / deactivate the statues, and only then do damage to the boss. Otherwise, for each remaining active assistant, he will receive bonuses in the final battle.

    Second phase. Now he will be helped by mini-bosses. Also appear alternately. Kill them first, and only then beat the main boss.

    Third phase. If you did not kill the assistants from the previous phases, the boss will be significantly strengthened. There will also be traps in the boss room. The best tactic is having the advantage in the level of standing in one place safe from traps and beating the boss.

    But even so, remember that in some versions, Izaria can teleport a player directly into traps.

    After the third phase, you find yourself in a location where:

    • Can enchant (once in one walk)
    • Take a subclass / extra 2 points (if you pass the first time)
    • Open the chests. To open them, you need keys that can only be found in the maze itself.

    Also in the labyrinth there is a special zone where the "beast" is located. If you kill him, the boss will be easier. But, in my opinion, the passage of traps is more dangerous than the “slightly” reinforced boss, which is not a problem with pumping.

    Note: if you have something to add, write in the comments. Useful tips will be added to this guide.

    Do not rush

    Perhaps the main advice in passing traps is not to rush. The principle of operation of the traps, and how to pass them is not difficult to understand, for this you need only for a few seconds to stop and watch them.

    The “take your time” tip is especially important for all hardcore league players.

    Maze Navigation

    At the entrance to each location of the labyrinth, there will be a special stand nearby, clicking on which a map of the labyrinth will open and your current location.

    High level

    A high level in the passage of the maze will help only in the battle with the boss. Traps, in my experiments, deal damage as a percentage of health, and also ignore armor. Therefore, neither a large amount of health, nor armor, will help to run traps with eyes closed.

    Movement skills

    Some traps can be jumped over, some difficult places can be “flown” in seconds with the help of movement skills. Be sure to have at least one in your arsenal.

    Vials

    In addition to damage, some especially dangerous traps impose bleeding on the character, which is why it is especially important to have bleeding removed on many, and better on all bottles. It is also very important to have the property of instant recovery on most health restoration bottles.

    Because of the return to the city, you will have to go through the maze first, so it is better to take more vials for restoring health.

    Trap Damage Reduction

    The only (from what I was able to find out) how to reduce the damage of traps is the Endurance charge.

    Monsters

    Do not kill monsters in the maze without any special need - they will help restore charges on the bottles when needed.

    Also, monsters allow you to receive Endurance charges.

    Health regeneration

    As mentioned above, the amount of health does not increase your survivability for traps, but what increases it is the regeneration of health. If there is an opportunity to take additional passive skills for regeneration before passing the maze - take it.

    Also, health regeneration significantly increases:

    • Summon stone golem
    • Unique belt

    Directly to the goal

    The labyrinth has various branches. Passing them, I did not understand the special advantage of passing them (an additional key, in comparison with the probability of losing a character in traps - does not appeal at all).

    Useful items

    There are items that will help in the passage of the maze. Of the useful ones, I have identified two so far:

    • Unique amulet Blood Power (Bloodgrip) - gives 100% increased amount of health regained by bottles, and also bleeding during movement does not cause you additional damage
    • Unique belt Immortal Flesh - gives 66.6 - 75 health regen per second.

    If you know other useful items - write in the comments.

    Try the next day

    Every new day the maze is generated in a new way, and the version of Izaro (Izaro) is also changing. If you can’t go through the maze or defeat the boss, try the next day.

    The maze in Path of Exile is the dungeon in which there are traps, various puzzles, as well as monsters. As the level is completed, you can go back into the labyrinth, using the Statue of the Goddess located in Sandria. In the labyrinth itself you will find not only traps, but numerous trials of Ascension, while one trap is hidden, which few people know about. But the trap just can not be found, because it will be hidden at random in any of the groups presented, where such a test is considered deadly, for this we have prepared the passage of this maze.

    With increasing complexity at the level, a new structure of rooms appears (the passage of the maze is complicated), where they remain the same only one day. But the rooms themselves, in fact, are the same among themselves, but not all can coincide in the accuracy of the layout. Absolutely every day there is a change in the structure of the rooms. Of course, it’s just that it’s impossible to get through where there are special keys to open the doors, but they will be behind difficult traps. If you open the room with the key, then a whole room will appear connecting several rooms.

    After the player is in this maze, he will constantly meet with Izaria. Each of your actions wags in subsequent battles. Where the first battle will continue until the health bar of your enemy reaches 2/3, after 1/3, and then you need to completely win. But in the last battle, do not forget that traps will be present and it is necessary to act carefully.

    Exactly 45 minutes will be required for an experienced player who already knows what and what is relevant. If you are in the labyrinth of the Ruler, then you will not have the right to teleport to the city, thereby having to go through the labyrinth again. Accordingly, there are no restrictions in this game, and you can try all the passing methods.

    Initially, when you play the game for the first time, only the Ascension class will be available. Each time you will receive points throughout the game, which can then be exchanged for skills. In this case, you can enchant items, but by choosing only one.
    If one of the players goes through the maze the fastest of all on one of the days, then he is given a special prize with unique gems. Moreover, all the ratings on the passage, you can see on the official website. The higher the difficulty level, the higher the reward for it will be provided.

    How to open and get into the maze?

    In order to be in the main labyrinth that we need, we first need to find six small labyrinths, where we must first find and go through them.

    • Stage 1: The Lower Prison;
    • Stage 2: Chamber of Sins Level 2 (Chamber of Sins Level 2);
    • Stage 2: Crypt Level 1 (The Crypt Level 1);
    • Stage 3: Crematorium (The Crematorium);
    • Stage 3: The Catacombs;
    • Stage 3: The Green Maze (The Hedge Maze) - a full-fledged teleport to this card was not originally provided, but you can still be there if you get into it through the Imperial Gardens (The Imperial Gardens).

    Thus, the main labyrinth will be in the 3rd stage, which will be located in the city. Each of the mini-labyrinths you need to go through once, thereby opening access to the main labyrinth, and this will be done forever, for the complexity on which you go.

    Boss battles

    In the main labyrinth, there are three complex battles with Izaria, which has multifunctionality and a change of image, that is, with each battle, he will have assistants, but always different.

    • First step. At this stage, statues appear that will help him. But they do not appear immediately, where there are two options, how to deal with the statues. It is temporarily disarm and destroy them permanently. Once you find the only solution to them, you will have to inflict subsequent damage already on the boss. If you do not deal with the statues, then he will have additional protection at the final moments, where it will not be so easy to defeat him.
    • Second phase. At this stage, he is helped by small bosses who are not as effective as the main boss, but may well cause good damage. Their appearance is gradual, where you need to adhere to the previous tactics. We remove assistants, and then we straighten out with the boss.
    • The third stage. At this stage, it is important for you to take such a position so that the traps do not get you in any way and can safely inflict damage on the boss. But this is only at the moment when you reached this stage without assistants, that is, you dealt with them in the previous stages.

    And also it is worth remembering that in one of the versions Izariy is present, who knows how to use the teleport against you directly to traps, which will complicate the task of fighting the boss.

    After passing the third stage, you find yourself on a new map. In it, you have the right to enchant some items, take an additional subclass, open chests, which can be opened with the keys you found during the passage of the mazes.

    It is worth considering that in labyrinths such zones sometimes appear that are called “beast”. If you find this zone and destroy it, then the future boss will be a significantly weak opponent. Although this will facilitate your tasks, there will be no special adrenaline in the passage, so it's up to you.

    Traps in the Maze of the Ruler of Path of Exile

    Undoubtedly, there are traps in the labyrinths, but not of one type, but of several, which are not only dangerous, but also deadly things. Where they can take away not only the state of the shield, but also health. Most traps can be found in Climb Trials, which show a considerable number of such traps.

    In some square areas there are spikes that can not be immediately noticed, because they appear after a certain amount of time. Moreover, some of these traps appear only when you step on them. Damage is about a quarter of the total health, that is, it includes not only health, but also your shield. Stepping on a trap, you will slow down for a couple of seconds, and get a good bleeding. This type of trap is the most harmless, because its repeated action does not take place immediately, but after some time. Moreover, the damage is done once and does not continue its effect. Such damage done can be restored with health-filled vials.

    To find out how traps of this type work, you can look at the locations of the first stage, or more precisely, in the Prison Dungeon.

    Saws are able to move along a given path, repeating their actions over and over again. Where the damage can be gradually applied, but it is much more effective than conventional spikes. Where the damage in this case is not important. Sometimes saws can be temporarily turned off if you find and turn off the lever. To find out how they work, then go to the second stage card in the Chamber of Sins 2.

    Rotating blades have a complex system of movement and impact on a player who is on the floor. If the player makes contact with this trap, then he will receive devastating damage, which will be difficult to recover from. Where the trajectory of their movement can constantly change. But everything can be temporarily disabled if you find leverage. They can be seen in the Crypt in the second stage.

    Melting traps are empty squares that are gradually replenished with magma and this takes a certain amount of time. A magma kill takes five seconds, where health is instantly reduced, but you can get rid of it if you drink a bottle of health and leave that trap. Such damage does not pass to monsters, because they resist fire. Such traps are in the Crematorium, and this is the third stage.

    Guardians with blades, they are rather large traps that cannot be overlooked, from which significant damage is dealt, the damage done can be gradual. The closer you are to the center of this trap, the damage will increase. In this case, the trap changes its trajectory, which complicates the passage of the maze. They are in the Catacombs in the third stage.

    Flying darts, a trap that shoots exclusively with small projectiles, it can change its direction. Shells shoot after a given period of time. The damage done is not so great, but you can survive several shots, while it will slow you down. Such traps will be on the walls and poles, some of them are activated by pressing certain plates. To evaluate the shooting traps, you can visit the Green Maze in the third stage.

    Watchmen, those traps that cause harmful damage to you and the environment for a certain time, and such traps are found only at level 75.

    Additional (secret) traps in the maze

    Of course, there is another mass of traps that are less known to people. One of these traps are rotating blades that rotate vertically in doors.

    The players are constantly sorted by the system, and this depends on the amount of time spent on going through the maze. To get the one-man leadership in the maze, one needs to go through the maze. Moreover, the labyrinth must be completed before the end of the day, before any changes have occurred. As a result, there are twelve leaders in the labyrinths at different levels of difficulty.

    • To play in the list of ordinary players, you do not need to cross the level 40 level.
    • To play in the list of cruel players, you do not need to cross the level 60 level.
    • To play on the list of ruthless players, you need to get level 60 and above.

    At midnight, the fate of all the players who decide to take part is decided, where the most interesting, or more precisely, the distribution of prizes, awards and other interesting things begins. And it all depends on the complexity of the level, the time spent and so on. Moreover, awards are awarded to some players during the day, and this is done about 4 times.

    The Labyrinth of the Ruler (Lord "s labyrinth) is a dungeon consisting of several locations, each of which is filled with deadly traps, monsters and secrets. For the complete passage of the maze in the poem, the character gets the opportunity to choose the Ascendancy subclass, as well as 2 Ascendancy talent points for leveling up a separate branch of the Ascension talents The main problem when passing this dungeon is to go through it without death, because after the death of the character he is transferred to the city and you need to start the race from the very beginning.

    In total, in Path of Exile there are four difficulties of the Labyrinth of the ruler:

    • Labyrinth
    • Cruel Labyrinth (Cruel Labyrinth)
    • Merciless Maze (Merciless labyrinth)
    • Eternal labyrinth or Uber lab (Eternal labyrinth, Uber labyrinth, Uber lab)

    In order to open access to each complexity of the labyrinth, it is necessary to pass the trials of Ascent (Ascendancy trials), they are also called trials. Trials are zones with traps of a certain type, which must be completely completed and the object activated at the end. The trials for the first three difficulties are located in the usual acts of the story game. Trials for the uber labyrinth appear on the maps randomly, it is because of this that opening all the uber trials usually takes a lot of time, because you can get the same trial trialed or there will not be trials on your maps at all. We know effective methods for finding and passing Uber trials and can open access to your Uber maze in a few hours!

    To access the uber labyrinth, you will need to go through all the previous labyrinths, and you also need a special item - an offering to the Goddess (Offering to the Goddess), which falls out when passing the uber trial. An offering is needed for each new run in the uber maze.

    A maze of any complexity - a generated dungeon with its own unique set of locations. During the passage of the maze, the player will have to fight three times with Izaro (Izaro) - the keeper of the maze. Izariya uses one of three types of weapons, has various types of power-ups and a unique set of traps - all these features change every day, which only complicates the passage. To effectively complete the maze, the player must be familiar with all the tricks of Izaria, because you can’t die in the maze - you have to start the whole race all over again.

    Do not forget that the labyrinth is not only access to Ascension talent points, but also one of the very effective ways of farming in the game. After completing the labyrinth and killing Izaria, you open access to the last room of the labyrinth, in which there is a device with which you can cast enchant and 10 chests with valuable loot. Chests can be opened using keys that are obtained in various ways in the poe maze itself. In addition, from Izaria and from the chests of the labyrinth unique items can be dropped that are mined only from the labyrinth, which significantly increases their cost.

    Enchantment can be applied to gloves, boots, or a helmet (only gloves in the ordinary maze, gloves and boots in the maze). The power of enchantment on items depends on the difficulty of the maze (the best enchantment is in the uber maze path of exile). Enchanted items receive special effects that greatly enhance your character's strength. Quite a lot of races and time can be required to get the necessary spells for each item, especially taking into account the fact that you need to go through the mazes very carefully so as not to die. With us you can order any number of passes through the Uber Labs to get the necessary spells on items.

    How long does the service take?

    The passage of ordinary, cruel and ruthless trials takes about 20-30 minutes. The passage of the Uber trial from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The passage of the mazes takes from 15 to 30 minutes. The races in the Uber labyrinth for enchanting objects take an average of 10-15 minutes.

    Can I personally take part in the passage of the maze?

    Yes, you can personally go through a maze of any complexity with our experienced player, without transferring an account. But the price of passing the ruthless and uber maze is higher, due to increasing risks.

    If I transfer an account, can I somehow control the process of the service?

    We provide a stream (online broadcast) of pumping, you can always follow the process of service implementation. In addition, our operators are always ready to answer any questions you may have.
