hedge maze puzzle
This is a tiny wooden puzzle that you took from one of the topiary golems in the Naughty Sorceress' hedge maze. It's... puzzling.
Cannot be traded
Cannot be discarded
Quest Item( In-game plural: hedge maze puzzles) Obtained From
- The Hedge Maze
- topiary golem
When Used
The hedge puzzle currently looks like this:
[graphic]
Click one of the puzzle sections to rotate that section 90 degrees to the right.
 Just as you rotate the puzzle piece, a Topiary Golem leaps out from behind a nearby bush and grabs the puzzle from you. It screeches, and dives back into the foliage.
You don't have a hedge puzzle. You'll have to go back into the Sorceress' Courtyard to get another one.
Notes
- Necessary to complete the Naughty Sorceress Quest.
- Using the puzzle does not consume adventures.
- There is a 33% chance that your puzzle piece will be stolen, every time that it is used.
- If you have the puzzle stolen from you (see below) as you complete the path to either the Hedge maze key or the Gate, you still have to fight a topiary golem next time you enter the Maze, even if you have completed everything but unlocking the Gate.
- If you still have a puzzle in your inventory after you've defeated the Sorceress, you can still rotate it, and it can still get stolen by a topiary golem.
- After NS13, the objectives are still the same but the puzzle changed. The entrance and exit have changed (watch the arrows) and the location of the hedge maze key shifted. The map is different per ascension. Once you get the hedge maze key, you complete the path but can't fight another topiary golem unless you have no puzzles left. While the squares rotate even if a puzzle is stolen, you still need another puzzle to see the maze path before the path will work.
References
- The Hedge Maze puzzle bears a striking resemblance to a puzzle in Ultima Underworld 2, in which you manipulated a maze with various switches and levers to make a path to the key, and then again for a path to the door. It's probably not a direct reference.
