Then just make your way to the other side of the maze area, you can light up torches for more vision."},{"author_name":"The Evil Cult","author_uid":"8607","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 6:29am","epoch":1387520640,"text":"Took me awhile to get it but I really liked the idea once I learned what was going on.
