In the Roblox survival game MEDVED (Hunt & Become Bears), created by Roblox High IQ Society, the maze location is accessed via the leftmost path leading away from the player spawn area. Following this trail past the outdoor laboratory leads directly to a stairway marked as a human space where surface bears cannot enter. Down these stairs lies an underground labyrinth containing one of the 32 collectible pages, scattered cash, lockers for evasion, and the bell needed to unseal the bunker.
How to Reach the Medved Maze Location
Reaching the maze requires navigating past several patrolling bears on the surface map. Taking the correct branching trail from spawn minimizes the distance traveled through open snow:
- Step outside the spawn cabin area and follow the main cleared trail heading outward.
- Continue forward until the path branches into three separate directions.
- Take the leftmost trail and follow the snowy path forward, keeping past the Star Lab structures.
- Locate the doorway labeled as a human safe space, which prevents surface mutant bears from pursuing further.
- Head down the long flight of stairs through the entrance door to access the underground maze.
Surviving the Maze and Avoiding the Maze Bear
The maze interior consists of tight, winding hallways guarded by a dedicated maze bear. Navigating the corridors safely relies on audio awareness and built-in navigation cues:
- Follow the lighting cues: Wall-mounted green and red lights, along with painted directional arrows, indicate the route toward the end. Hallways that diverge without lighting often lead directly to dead ends.
- Listen for approaching footsteps: In some runs, players encounter up to two maze bears roaming the halls simultaneously.
- Hide inside wall lockers: Tall metal lockers stand at regular intervals along the hallway walls. Stepping inside a locker conceals the player from the maze bear until the creature wanders away.
- Bring a flashlight: Corridors inside the maze are significantly darker than the snowy surface, making a light source useful for spotting dead ends and approaching threats.
Objectives Inside the Maze
The underground maze serves multiple gameplay functions tied to player progression:
- Collect the maze page: A loose page sits along the route through the maze. This item counts toward the 32 total pages required to access the mushroom and transform into a bear for 10 minutes.
- Collect loose cash: Bundles of currency are scattered across the floor near corridor intersections and at the final chamber.
- Ring the bell: Reaching the end chamber reveals a suspended hanging bell. Interacting with the bell triggers a chime that permanently unlocks the bunker elsewhere on the map.
What Unlocks After Ringing the Bell
Ringing the bell directly advances map progression and grants account achievements:
- Bell Ringer badge: Striking the bell at the end of the maze awards the official Bell Ringer badge on Roblox.
- Bunker door access: Before the bell is rung, the entrance button at the bunker remains red and locked. Ringing the bell activates the door mechanism, turning the button usable.
- Accessing the bunker: To reach the unlocked bunker, players can reset to spawn, head south along the trail toward the giant statue, and follow the path running directly behind the statue. Entering the opened bunker lets players collect an additional page and explore content tied to the Order of the S.T.A.R. badge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after you ring the bell in the maze?
Ringing the bell unlocks the bunker door situated behind the giant statue and grants the Bell Ringer badge. Players can reset their character to spawn immediately afterward, as the bunker remains open.
Can surface bears follow players down into the maze?
Surface bears do not enter the stairway descending into the maze. The entryway functions as a designated human zone that blocks outdoor bear AI from chasing players downstairs.
How do you survive when the maze bear gets close?
Step directly inside one of the metal lockers lining the corridor walls whenever loud footstep noises approach. Staying inside until the audio cues fade breaks the bear's pursuit.
