It makes the whole maze stuff pretty pointless? If you like you even can get there from the other side, even tough gargoyles will regocnize that, but I'm not sure if there is any drawback doing so.
I think that right now, because there's no reward for success and no penalty for cheating, it seems broken, but if those get added, it will be better. I just don't think we need to completely seal it all off to penalize clever players who use their wits to solve it.
