Dungeon Difficulty: 
Forest Nymphs, Mages, Elf Wizards, Bunnies, and Sandsman Kings can be found in the lowlands.
Dwarf Kings and Drakes are in the midlands, and are probably about as hard to defeat as the entire Forest Maze.
The Forest Maze Key (
) can also be purchased in the Nexus for 50 
.
Speed Sprouts give a 5 second 
Speedy status effect boost, which is great for rushing dungeons and dodging shots. They’re dropped by every enemy in the dungeon. And if you’re lucky you could even sell them!
Weapons and armor up to T5 and T6 respectively can be found here, which can be an upgrade for your current gear and could prove useful if you’re new. Also, the boss drops common eggs, so if you don’t have a pet yet this is an easy place to get an egg!
The Boss of this dungeon drops two beginner UTs: the Bramble Bow and Cocoon Quiver. These are great early game archer gear, the bow fires three shots and has a DPS between a T6 and T8 bow, but it has a slightly higher arc gap and it’s shots are wavy. The quiver is able to paralyze, which is not seen until a T3 quiver and fires two shots, making it easier to hit an enemy.
Rushing this dungeon is only prevented by the confusing moths and mazelike format. The minions pose minimal threat, excluding the Ultimate Squirrels. Clearing out every room is largely unnecessary for characters with any decent armor. If you have too much trouble with the mazelike patterns, walk against the right wall and do not step away from it or turn around. Remember, the minimap is your best friend.
The Forest Goblin, Forest Goblin Mage, and Armored Squirrel seen above are pretty lame, and can be ignored if you have any decent armor. Just don’t let the goblins get too many sword hits on you, as they can deal considerable damage if you are unprepared. And always stay aware of your HP.
The Mini Megamoths inflict 
Confused, which can actually confuse someone new to the game. They’re a bit annoying when rushing, and don’t give any EXP. Also, make sure you don’t hit one of these guys’ bullets if you’re a lower level and don’t have decent armor during the boss battle, or it could cause serious or even fatal damage if it confuses you into the boss.
Ultimate Squirrels are the most dangerous non-boss enemies with a 35-damage shotgun which causes you to get 
Stunned for 1.4 seconds. They are not very common, and only spawn in a fraction of the rooms.
She leaves behind floating confuse shots while alternatively darting and standing, spawning Mini Megamoths as the fight goes on. Ranged classes can snipe her easily from outside of the room and melees can stand near the edge and maul her. The fight only gets dangerous if you get trapped, start circling, and get confused. To avoid walking into the mass of drifting shots, remember to always circle left. This trail can spell your doom if you are leveling.
The Forest Maze is an easy, beginner friendly dungeon that has the potential to drop two early-game UTs along with other early-game equipment, which will help players through the low- and midlands. It also helps new players get familiar with the confused debuff, which it will come across a lot more in other parts of the game.
