How do I get through the lost woods in the parallel overworld? I don't understand the hint I got from the old lady.
There's several ways to look at the solution to this. What's clockwise from north? Start north, go that direction and end by going south twice. I don't know if this was done on purpose or not, it'd be kind of cool if it was, but the solution is also the name of Earthbound's main protagonist. Alternately, think about which direction leads out of the maze and go North, opposite the exit, South, South. Any one of those will get you through just fine.
