There is a subtle clue on the time list that should help you decide how to look at the maze.

Hmmmm.... how subtle are we talking here? I'm probably over thinking it. Does it have to do with the time numbers or the door numbers?

I'm still stuck on this one too. I haven't looked at it for awhile but, any help is appreciated. Also, this is my last night lock.

Gasp! You're so close! As for the subtlety of the hint, you are looking for a 4-letter vault answer, and the times are divided into 4 groups somehow.

OH blood hell I did not see that! I was looking way too hard. Thank you.

These instructions are not specific enough for my pedantically literal mind. It has been stated in this thread that the timer starts from zero at the moment of entering the building, therefore at the point of touching the line descending from door 8 (where it would close). If that is the case then, were I to head for the diamond and then on to the 'W' square, I would reach the line between those two squares at precisely 00:09, the same time that door 6 closes on that line. So would I be deemed to have reached the 'W' before the door closed or not?
Perhaps a clearer question to clarify the same issue… After entering via door 8, where would I be at precisely 4 seconds? In the middle of the 'F' square (on the 'F')? On the line to the left of the 'F' (having passed the 'F' from the open door 8)? On the line to the right of the 'F' (where door 7 closes)?

The clock starts counting as you step on the first square going into the building...so you should reach the diamond at 9 seconds. It is at that time that the doors start moving. The excel spreadsheet posted by memoinstilettos in this thread helped me a great deal. If you get too frustrated...feel free to PM me.

Thanks wortelboer, I'm sure I can cope with the mechanics. It's just that fine distinction between start times that was changing my route. Thank you very much for clarifying. As I now understand… The clock starts at zero when I'm just outside the door. At four seconds I'm standing in the middle of the 'F' square. At nine seconds I'm on the diamond at which point door six closes blocking my path to the 'W' square.
…and that worked!
I was just about to go through the routes I had for each possible start point one-by-one. Just as well I checked here first!
On to the next lock!

Okay, I think I know the answer but I'm unsure. Is it Serious spoiler! A 4-letter man's name that starts with Don't look unless you want to know! 'G'? Never mind. It's not what I thought

This is my last night lock. I've solved the maze, but no 4 letter word is apparent. I fear I am overthinking things again.

I've gotten through in the 54 seconds everyone is saying is correct, but I have WAY more than 4 letters. In order:
f,o,o,i,r,w,n,n,e,o,i,i,g,n,f,f,f,o Am I looking for a pattern in the letters? Anagram? Image made by following the maze?

Thank you! that definitely makes Centaur's hint more relevant Now I only have 8 Daylocks left!
