The Chosen Ones

Perhaps the twist cannot be so much in the maze itself, save the extra negative food degen. But rather the longer you stay in teh maze, the more the two bosses outside get healed. If this is activated on say 5% hp for both of them, perhaps give them a 1% hp regen. The longer you stay the more they heal, then when you find your way out, you continue the rest of your battle from there?
