Oh no I just got the correct path their first try, dived in the hole, and now can't get back in (on the main file, thank god for common saves) because "the clock is broken", so do I just do the maze again on the next closest file, more thoroughly this time?
The chase can't happen until you get the clock hands normally, there is a guide someone made if you wanna rely on that for specific details
