If it is I believe the secret area would have something to do with a "last shaft" or an "end shaft". This furthers my hypothesis that the secret area is located somewhere in the chasm, perhaps the bottom tunnel, hence the "last shaft". If I am absolutely wrong, somebody please tell me. Is GEE OMEGA SHAFT the correct anagram? Is the correct anagram even on the list?

Hey, that's sweet! So, can you tell me if my theory about the chasm is correct? Honestly, I doubt it's really right; I made it up as I went! But still, I would like to know my hypothesis is right, and I'm not playing GOA right now, so I have no way of testing it on my own. I you would refer back to the start of this thread, you'll see my entire idea. If you could tell me if I'm at all correct, I would appreciate it.
