How to...
Your headache starts with trap floors which are active during some amount of time. Pull the lever and block doorway with something while it's open.



Now door is broken and you can move it. Clear your way and pull lever again. This time gates remain open and only now you have enough time to pass all trap floors before they fall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next gate is pretty easy to pass. Just pull the lever and run.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To pass the third door you have to lean something on it. I used a chair. Door opens, chair falls and blocks the doorway.



Still easy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fourth door is kinda tricky. All levers should be turned at the same moment. So I used small plank to block one of them (Lean plank on the lever, pull it and then release). Then you pull another lever and door opens. I got something like this:



Result:



Push the button on the wall to open next gate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the next room you see 5 levers. Prove that the lever which stans alone is in position "up". If it's not block it with pank or something else.
Now look at another levers. I named them (from left to right) 1 2 3 4. So, pull them in this order: 3142.



It will open a door in this room.



Go there and pull the lever. Traps are now closed and you can pass.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next trap is the most dangerous in this maze. Will you pass it or not depends only from you!
So...
You have to pass all closed traps and build a bridge over the last one. Use long plank from nearby:



Then put some crap on the button:



Now very freakin' careful walk over your junky bridge!!! Put some crap on another button. Door opens.



Go there and pull the lever. Bring a bench to this room. Pull the lever again and block the opened doorway with this bench.



Pull lever again. Exit is open. Now you have to cross this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trap again to escape! This is the very last time you risk your life in this maze.



Done!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next part is easy. To pass it you have to run very fast. But first of all take a box and lean it on the exit. Pull the first lever, skip the second, run and pull another 3 (The very last one only opens a shortcut). Escape!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next "room" needs no description. Just walk around a little and you will find exit.
Here is a map, drawn by 3lectr0nic. Use it as a reference if you feel lost.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the room after wooden door you will find a hint. Push buttons in this order:



Thats all !!!
Enjoy your loot!
You will get two random steel armor parts.
I got this:





Have a nice day!

there may be some helpful info related to the "maze" in general here but this is a terrible guide altogether.
no actual directions included except for a few, "onto the next room" type comments while this is a large area that opens into many different rooms and pathways.
turn left/right, head east/west/etc is a necessity for easy travel in this game.

either you are just incorrect about paths to take or the map has been updated since.
mark this as outdated or go back through and fix the errors, whichever it may be.
never made it to a room with 5 levers, but have successfully completed the maze.

there is not 2 steel loot items in the storage room's chests. in each chest i found some crappy clothing and 1 decent helmet. maybe it's just 1 steel item or maybe it's totally random. you'd have to try it with many new characters to verify for sure if there is any promised outcome on loot varieties here.
some decent weapons lying around the room but not better than what i've already found.

With the force thaumaturge, i was able to bypass the maze completely. I learned the skill that would enable me to manipulate objects frok afar within line of sight. I opened the gate in the 1st area that enters into a cave, where the zombie with quilted armor and wood cutting ax was. Though the lever was out of sight, i was able to control the wheel beside the card to push the lever down and that led me where the exit floor 2 and further down was the maze's loot room, i used the bench to bump the lever thus opening the loot room of the maze. Though it took alot of time just to get the bench in the right position for it to bump the lever.

even easier: just take the long planks and make a bridge over all the pitfalls, use ladders/benches to block levers down (or up) when you need to activate multiple levers in a timely manner.
Granted its a much more time consuming one, but its much safer, lol.

? The guide worked for me just fine. For the last maze I just looked up a video though

@Salem I got through the entire maze because of this guide. No need to insult it because you can't follow simple instructions
