Episode 2 Floor 8 - Secret maze map ("Aardwolf maze")

A map to help you through the secret maze on Floor 8 from Episode 2, also known as the "Aardwolf maze".

Episode 2 Floor 8 map

The map for Episode 2 Floor 8, but with some special tweaks to help you through the hidden maze more quickly. The original map (below) does not show what the maze looks like after you pushed walls, so it's quite easy to get lost (at least for me, it is). I added squares that show where the pushed walls move to, as well as color coded paths to the different secrets. To increase the color coded paths' visibility, I made the rest of the map darker.

At the yellow junction, you'll have to decide whether to go for one of the Hans Grösses, or go to the "Aardwolf" room. In the original release in 1992, a sign with the words "Call Apogee say "Aardwolf"" was present for a (cancelled) contest. In later releases, the sign was replaced by a pile of bones and an extra life. As far as I know, the maze is usually referred to as "the Aardwolf maze", nonetheless.

In the maze, 6 crosses cannot be collected, 18 walls cannot be pushed and as said before, a choice between an extra life (which adds to your treasure count percentage) and a kill (which adds to your kill count percentage) has to be made (at the yellow junction). Choosing one route blocks the other one, but after making your choice and either collecting the life or making the kill, you can still push the other wall for your secret ratio. Since I prefer to be able to have at least one thing 100%, I prefer to kill both Hans Grösses. If you choose to kill both Hans Grösses, you can get a 100% kill ratio, a 89% secret ratio and a 78% treasure ratio for the map tops. For the game, these percentages are 100%, 98% and 97%, respectively.

I just tested something.
At the end of the maze, where you fight the second Hans Grösse, there are two pushable walls. After the fight, push the wall on the left, then you're able to push it AGAIN! But it only works in the direction you pushed the right wall away from.
This will increase your Secret stat up to 90% at the end of the map.

Many thanks for this. It sucks that you can't 100% this level.

Thanks for making the guide :)
