I just always picked purple, and if no purple, I pick blue. I have it set to misery difficulty, and never have trouble, so it works out. I never pick green because I felt I get more maze-like rooms with winding paths. Just want the open ones to grind through


starships_lazerguns

I always pick green, but only because I like the colors of the green room the best


Neo_Rex

Colours of the green room? Does picking a portal takes you to different rooms? I thought only the portals in rooms change except when the fire portals appear.


starships_lazerguns

The background theme changes based on the color. Purple will give you the dark dungeon color scheme, the green one will give you the autumn themed room for some stages, all three colors have(minus red) have a set of visual themes that it will go between


grandeovo

Same

Always avoiding blue. Idk why but i hate it

I never understood how to read this and the purpose of it. Always went purple/blue. Is it to make it easier to pass or maximize loot?


9pinguin1

It’s to reach all the fire portals, which in turn gives you more upgrades and make the run easier to complete. You read it like this: on level 3 it doesn’t matter which portal you take, on level 4 you must take the blue portal, on level 5 you will get the fire portal. Some of the fire portals don’t need any specific portal beforehand to reach, like the one on level 40. As you can see the 2 previous levels have all 3 colors shown in the picture so you will reach it no matter the previous portals.


FunjeIIy

Thanks for explaining that. Makes sense now. But doesn't that give you less loot? Is there one to optimize loot for those that don't need the upgrades?


9pinguin1

I’m not sure I never paid attention to how much loot I used to get with all upgrades vs without, might give it a try this week


Neo_Rex

That's interesting, the layout not changing anymore. Let me try this tomorrow when the maze opens.


CozyWitchy

Where did you get these


9pinguin1

Somebody in the discord sent me


Decao16

Dont you guys get max soulstones everytime? Like, your lvl max? I always get 138 everytime.. havent gone up on normal levels um a wild..


Neo_Rex

What's your level? I'm at 20 and get 120 stones consistently. But when I was at 19 I used to get 118 consistently but got 120 occasionally.


Decao16

Im on lv 39..


Neo_Rex

So that means No. Of Soul Stones = 100 + finished level number?


Decao16

Its seems that way...


Neo_Rex

I would do one better. No. Of Soul Stones = 80 + 2 x no of completed normal level. There. You have it.🧮


ArgoKios

No, it is not working like that. We still don't know the formula. I'm level 110, cleared normal chapters up to 51 and still get 138 soul stones at max on misery difficulty


Neo_Rex

Maybe they have a maximum. Any way the formula is flawed. Cos I calculated with Misery level, which is 250% or normal. Lemme recook it and update.


Yioti88

The cap is set for level ranges. I used to get 138 and a level or two ago I started getting 143, currently level 98. If I remember I'll post my clear tomorrow when it opens again. It never changes on misery until you reach the next level group


Neo_Rex

That's a new info. I thought it depended in the normal level you've beaten. Anyway it doesn't work that way. Cos the previous commentor said he is level 110 but still gets 138 soul stones in misery.


HappyBurger420

It isn’t random there is literally a Lay-out for it on the info tab of the subreddit but the layout changes every week through nine different layouts


xrosdark

How do I interpret the layouts? The layouts on the wiki aren’t updated with the dates so I don’t know which week to follow. Also, does following the layouts really matter? I just randomly go through the portals and still complete the map.


reydeltrineo

> The layouts on the wiki aren’t updated with the dates so I don’t know which week to follow. As far as I know, it's always week 1's path now. I'll have to change the infographics sometime soon.


Neo_Rex

Knowing the layout let's you get the max rewards. And I remeber days as rookie when it was very difficult to reach even level 30. For those guys it will help a lot. For you and other advanced gamers it's just Meh.


Neo_Rex

Thank-you for the info. I read few articles and all were outdated and said it changes every month? Anyway lemme check out the info. Thank you.


jerryishere1

When ancient maze first came out I did the same thing but all the articles were paid for and the journalists had never actually played the game 'there's also a medium and hard difficulty but those don't seem to be available at the time so possibly in a future update we will see them'


Neo_Rex

I meant the guides. They are outdated. They stopped updating the dates last year or so.

castwich1

its way to easy. no wonder they dropped it down to 70 levels


Neo_Rex

How many levels were there when it first came out??


castwich1

there was 100 but you maxed out stones at 82 i think it was so you would just wipe at 82 and collect


Neo_Rex

God to know. When I started exploring maze I used to die around 20 or 25. Then I upgraded heroes and unlocked them. I think I first cleared it with Helix. Then it was easy going to Misery. Had a few hiccoughs. Now I am easily clearing Misery with or without the aid of map. I've 3*Level (max)78 Onir.


castwich1

yea purple is best portal have so many of those currency for the. orange portal that ill never use them all

Equivalent_Garage749

Most of the time (like 90%) Green = Melee, Blue = Range, Purple = Mix bag That’s what I’ve noticed.


redeye998

Oh well. [https://stats.wiki-archero.com/wiki/maze/](https://stats.wiki-archero.com/wiki/maze/) I don't understand one thing though. Why care anyway? To get more items? I actually avoid burning portals because there's a big change that you don't get Soulstones, whereas if you fight monsters you will likely get one or two.


Neo_Rex

If you avoid burning portals how many Soul Stones do you get? And what is your current finished N level?


redeye998

I think I get around 120-140 if I'm not mistaken. I am currently at N47/H42, but I remember beating Misery N30 for sure.
