I’m confused how Lost Viking works  
here is my code:

```python
SLIDE = 2
SWITCH = 6
SKIP = 11
# How many sideSteps north of the Red X you've taken.
sideSteps = 1

# How many steps east of the Red X you've taken.
steps = 1

# Multiply this with steps to determine your X coordinate. DON'T CHANGE THIS!
X_PACE_LENGTH = 4

# Multiply this with sideSteps to determine your Y coordinate. DON'T CHANGE THIS!
Y_PACE_LENGTH = 6

# The maze is 35 steps along the X axis.
while steps <= 35:
    
    # Take the next step:
    hero.moveXY(steps * X_PACE_LENGTH, sideSteps * Y_PACE_LENGTH)
    
    # Increment steps and sideSteps as appropriate, taking into account the special rules.
    steps += 1
    sideSteps += 1
    

```

Tell me, why do you post everything under the “adventurer” category? It’s clearly stated what it is for:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/f/f016be7f3a4acbd604a145d7bbb3bf95e57c6231.png)  
…and as this level has been around for years, you definitely should not be posting your question here.

* * *

And then: why don’t you use search? There are already at least 10 topics for the same level: [https://discourse.codecombat.com/search?q=lost%20viking](https://discourse.codecombat.com/search?q=lost%20viking)

I presume that you will find the answer to your question(s) in one of those.

The funny things is, you can just shoot the Green eyed burl, wait in a spot lower than the blast radius, and then got to the end coordinate(marked by a FLOWER!), and then you can set the stupid steps to 35. \>.\<

The ending position of the hero and the steps being set to 35 are the ONLY ways to get to the coding!

you can straight up cheese the level by doing this with Arrowhead(the hero)

hero.attack(“Teemer”)  
hero.wait(1)  
hero.moveXY(0, 0)  
hero.wait(3)

# The raven will tell you what to use for your maze parameters!

hero.moveXY(143, 37)
