The underwater maze is truly annoying.
As soon as you walk into the water here, you'll enter an underwater maze.
You'll need to head from the southeast corner where you start to the northwest corner, where you'll need to use the balloon in the spotlight in order to surface. Along the way, there are caverns you can approach. Some of them have mermaids, and you'll need to let them kiss you in order to refill your oxygen, which will be in the lower-right corner of the screen. Others have piranhas that will swim after you as you try to get away from them. If you run out of oxygen, you'll be sent back to where you started the maze with reduced health.
There are other things to avoid, such as the jellyfish, hammerhead shark that will flatten you and do a lot of damage, and the dogfish chasing the catfish, which will stun you and cost you valuable time. There are even currents in certain areas that
Aside from the northwest corner, there is also two places to go: west of the center of the maze, and west of the northeastern corner of the maze. Both of these areas lead to health extensions, and you'll want to get both of them.
When you get to the northwest corner and use the balloon in the spotlight to surface, then grab the blue gem. Head right of where you got the gem From here, if you haven't already, get the health extensions before leaving. It's easier to get the extension in the middle of the maze from the exit, while it's easier to get the extension in the northeast corner from the entrance.
From here, get out of the mine. Just keep in mind that this isn't the last time you'll need to go through this maze.
Head back to the gem lake and throw the blue gem in. You'll get an air bubble, which increases how much oxygen you have underwater, which makes the underwater maze easier. Also, a dwarf will show up near where the blue gem was. He will be guarding the weird icon that looks like four arrows converging into each other.
Believe it or not, there is a flower near the fairy's lake that you can pick up. You'll need it later.
Head back to the flooded cavern. At least you don't have to use the mine cart again. Use the air bubble to give yourself six air bubbles' worth of oxygen. If you still haven't gotten the health extensions here, go get them now.
The air bubble will make it easier to get the goldfish in the southwest corner. Since you have the goldfish, grabbing it will put it in the goldfish bowl. Head all the way back to Casolari in Pinedale and use the goldfish to get a spring.
Interestingly, the health extensions stay collected if you die in the maze; the goldfish, however, has to be re-collected if you perish before getting back to either the entrance or the exit.
Now you have to go all the way back to where you got the blue gem, take out the dwarf, and use the spring left of where you got the blue gem. This will take you to the opening on the other side as well as the four arrows icon. After you get the password, grab that icon, then be prepared to enter the opening...
