That starter dungeon is
the hardest I have ever experienced

I have never been able to get out of it yet on the no less than half a dozen times I have tried to start playing Arena now

(at least, not without a trainer!). Now that I know at least where I'm meant to go to get out, I might try it again sometime soon.
Tip: When getting out, make sure you have the text with the passwords ready (or, at least, be aware that you need one) - nothing worse than getting to the end, finding you have a password and then abandoning that game because you can't find the password
