so i guess multiple Maiden Rings is possible here. I just got 2 and it only took me about 10 minutes.
I'm sure this is old news by now, but it seems that if you dont get an item after about 4 strikes of the pickaxe, then you should just move on to another spot.
So what i did was divided the top and bottom into 5 spots (outer left, inner left, middle, inner right, outer right). I would strike 4 times in each of those spots (10 spots total), and then i would quit and retry to randomize the RNG.
Out of curiosity, has anyone found anything unique in this little mini-game?
