you'd also need to get rid of autoexplore to make the maze harder

Besides removing the Mini-map and Auto-explore you would have to remove the ability to remember what the Maze looks like; kind of like the Labyrinth portal in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (which also has the annoying ability to readjust passages while you try and find the exit).

Steel Helm of Hammerhand? What's that? Wiki isn't really helping me here, so I figured I'd ask. x3

Haha, it's an artifact from the olden days, ToME 2 Maze reward.
The Steel Helm of Hammerhand [6,+20]
A helmet which protects the entire head. The expensive steel as base
material allows it to offer very good protection while being fairly light.
A great helm as steady as the heroes of the Westdike. Mighty were the
blows of Helm, the Hammerhand!
It grants you the power of berserk if it is being worn. It increases
your strength, dexterity and constitution by 3. It sustains your
strength, dexterity and constitution. It makes you completely
fearless. It provides resistance to acid, cold, dark and nexus. It
slows your metabolism. It cannot be harmed by acid, cold, lightning
or fire.
Level 20, Rarity 2, 6.0 lbs, 45000 Gold (T.o.M.E. 2.3.5)

I think the first two posters are confusing "harder" with "more tedious".
There are very good reasons autoexplore and maps exist in modern roquelikes. The maze is no exception.

I remember the maze before autoexplore and before the corridors were widened. I absolutely would NOT want to return to that. Autoexplore makes the maze tolerable.

Yeah, removing autoexplore+minimap wouldn't make the maze harder, it'd just make it take 5x as long and way more boring. It could probably do with something to spice it up though, as currently it's just a big series of corridors without anything interesting.
