Basic strategy is to eliminate Mushrooms in time with Magic Vine attacks, and then attack the boss after the mushrooms are defeated.
If you use Magic Vine to kill any of the Mushrooms, they will drop a Spore item of their colour, which allows the Magic Vine's skill to be upgraded to level 6. The Spores will only drop once per maze run, but you can obtain multiple of them on the same boss floors, so long as the Magic Vine deals the last hit to the Mushrooms.
Image | Name | Use |
---|---|---|
Green Spore | Magic Vine, ability enhanced (Explosive Pumpkin MAX rank +1) | |
Red Spore | Magic Vine, ability enhanced (Bloody Cuscutae MAX rank +1) | |
Purple Spore | Magic Vine, ability enhanced (Crystal Mushroom MAX rank +1) | |
Yellow Spore | Magic Vine, ability enhanced (Golden Mandala MAX rank +1) |
Maze Occurrences[]

Magic Vine[]
Upon planting Jack's Magic Bean, you obtain a Magic Vine ally that attacks every 5 turns. It begins with 23 Attack, 15 Power, 110 HP and 50 MP at level 1, and can reach level 50 through giving it Black Thorn Seeds. Each level will give +1 Attack, +1 Power, +10 HP, +10 MP. It recovers HP and MP each floor, and can be healed using 5 Black Thorn Seeds. If the Magic Vine dies, it can be revived using Magic Spring purchased from Dave's Cottage. The Magic Vine can also be upgraded using the following items.

The abilities of the Magic Vine can usually only be upgraded to level 5, but if the corresponding Spore is used, the abilities can be upgraded to level 6.
Sunflower[]
Upon planting Sunflower Seed, you obtain a Sunflower ally. The Sunflower ally will not attack, but is also invincible. You can feed 30 Black Thorn Seeds to the Sunflower ally to obtain 1 Sunlight.

Tips[]
- If using melee gumball, it may help soul link gumball with poison resistance (against boss mushrooms) such as Witch.
- The Farplane Ranger (Farplane's Lantern) title can be useful. See corpses section.
- Avoid choosing head and belt artefacts to enter maze as you are likely to pick up Plumber's Cap and Plumber's Overalls early on..
- The potion Plant Extract is useful in this maze for extra Black Thorn Seed.
