I'm trying to do this thing making a mental map. It's worked out really well so far, but now I've hit a point where I constantly fall into a trap. I know that
, but I just keep falling in. With a bit of luck, I've actually managed to navigate some of the stretch, but I haven't really figured out what exactly is happening.
At the beginning that was very frustrating, but because I've fallen in so many times now, I know the lower half of the puzzle by heart and I can get back to the tricky part in like 20 seconds. It's at the point where the only way possible (at least to my mind) has to be to go into the upper half of the maze.

I found it helpful to navigate slowly and make a map and mark what is a path, wall or trap.

Try to draw the traps on a paper, all the traps you find. And by drawing try to imagine what would be your next step. It helps a lot when you draw your map, you can imagine the path more clearly in your mind like this. For blue hugging the walls and go slow is the best way to pass the traps, so keep that as a hint.
Feel free to PM me if you need any help.

I figured it out now, it was sort of tricky, but after I fell into the traps enough times I could narrow down my possibilities. Mentally mapping this one wasn't that difficult actually, I sat down about 10-15 minutes at a time, and that way my brain quickly stored the map. I can even visualize it now (up until the part I mentioned), but after that visualisation isn't that important anymore.

Good progress and it sounds really good that you have the map in your head now. You will soon open the Blue!

I actually have opened it, but I reassembled it the wrong way, and now it won't re-open. xD

I am well stuck! I am enjoying being stumped, I have drawn a map, think I know the area of interest that will allow me to proceed into what I am calling the second half, however I am damned if I can find the chink in the armour so to speak. I have drawn the traps and it all points back to that area of interest...... yet it seems well and truly fortified !
For now I am sure its broken
Blaming the tools won't help

, I am going back in....

Haha...keep at it and you will succeed. If you are mapping then make sure it's accurate. Blue is one my favorites!

Cheers doc81,
I think a subtle feature has become apparent, my map seems to be accurate enough to have signposted me in. Its tentative times though, breaking into unchartered territory sets the fear in.
I think I have been at it too long now, that click has started making me jump.
I will sleep on my progress, I am officially addicted, need more once this ends (please don't end).......need more....
