## Overview

The most central element of this Maze is the statues:

* You will have to give items to the statues in order to get rewards (see #Faith Rewards).
* You will loot tons of relatively poor quality equipment (see #Equipment Suits) meant for this purpose.

Key parts of the rewards include:

* Effects that increase the chance to loot equipment (to speed up the whole loot/sacrifice process)
* Fliamir's Soul Box for the Hidden Gumball
* Pieces of the very nice Realm of the Dead suit
* Various buffs
* Reduction (up to immunity) of the nasty effects that this maze's enemies have.

Single items give the following amount of faith:

If you give together all 3 items from a single 3-items Equipment Suit, you get 150XP instead.

TIPS: With Demon's Cocktail you need 8 full set to max a statue with one shot of the potion (8 x 300 = 2400 XP)

## Tips

* The key is to save up the equipment in the maze until you get full sets of three and then sacrifice them for bonus Faith. Even better is to bring Demon's Cocktail for double faith (works only on 1 floor per use of potion), making sure that each time you use the potion you max out a particular deity's faith rewards. Alternatively, or for when the potion's 3 doses have run out; Chef has a recipe that gives +20 per sacrificed item for one floor (it cannot be combined with the Demon's Cocktail effect).
* This is one of those mazes where Portal of Earth works wonders since it may be long while before the broken Lich statue shows up after 50+ floor, S/L 30 may be good idea.
* It may be a good idea to get faith rewards from deities that give you (+x% Magic Item Discovery) such as Demigod Lich or Mono Eye Tyrant, so that you can get more loot to sacrifice faster.
* With the sheer amount of equipment drops, Alchemist's ability will give you a ton of Quenching Essence. Paired with the Holy Blacksmith title, you can easily obtain a set of 6 star equipment with a few Portals of Earth.
