Secret Path Directions

Forest Maze Directions
(Starting from Maze Area Save Point)
Enter Upper-Left Exit
Enter Lower-Left Exit
Enter Lower-Left Ext
Enter Upper-Left Exit
Enter the Stump to reach the Secret Treasure Room.

Secret Path Rewards

Choice Reward
Stole the treasures and let the Toad into his house Flower chest x3
Frog Coin x1
Mushroom chest x1
Let the Toad into his house without stealing the treasures, or haven't done either yet Flower chest x1
Frog Coin x1
Mushroom chest x3

The contents of the treasure chests in the secret room will vary depending on your previous interactions with a man in Rose Town trying to get into his house. The rewards will be better if you either do not steal the man's treasures, or wait to do so until after getting the treasures at the end of the Forest Maze secret path.

Best Route: Forest Maze Treasures → Steal the Treasures → Confess to Stealing

The best rewards you can get from the Toad in Rose Town and the Forest Maze Secret Path combined are 5 Flowers, 2 Frog Coins, and a Mushroom chest, if you took the treasure from the Forest Maze first, opened the chests inside the house, and confessed to taking the treasures to the Toad after.

Should You Confess to Stealing the Treasures in Rose Town?
