Inside this room, the Map can be found right in the center, along with multiple Gels.
==Keys & Locked Doors==
The Moon features quite a few [[Small Key]]s and Locked Doors throughout the dungeon. In total, there are four keys available to be collected throughout the dungeon. These keys can be obtained by either defeating all the enemies in one room, or killing a specific enemy that holds the key. Along with these four keys, there are three Locked Doors. This basically means that one key can be saved and used in another dungeon. Also, with clever use of bombs, Link can visit every room in the dungeon without using any of his keys.
