Along these same lines, it is easier to carry about 15-20 different items and drop one in each room. Then you can tell which room it is without having to pick up gold and count. An even easier way for classes with summon is to summon a different mob that don't walk to each room, then you can scan and see them and know which room is which without even walking in.

> The way I got through the first two (not the Heart) is by dropping increasingly large numbers of coins at each "empty" square. Eventually, all the squares will have coins in them and you can tell where you are by picking up the coins, countin them, and dropping them back down. Use a system like the following (hopefully it shows up allright)

> The top row is the number of coins in the square you are on. The other rows correspond to how many coins are in the square in the direction on the far left. You fill out the "inside" of the square by trial and error. It will take probably close to an hour (more if you mess it up like I did). And don't lose this paper, you'll kick yourself if you have to do it all over again.
