The Hedge Maze

The Hedge Maze is located in The Naughty Sorceress' Tower. Frank will guide you through the maze. Following his advice gets you topiary nugglets. Ignoring him gets you through quicker, but puts you up against more challenges.

Notes

• After completing the maze, you can reach The Naughty Sorceress' Tower Door.
• If at any point you run out of turns before finishing the maze, the next choice will have only a "Leave" option. Returning after getting more adventures will let you start from where you left off.
• If at any point you lose all your HP, the test will stop. Upon returning, you will start from where you left off. One of the following messages will be displayed:

The last thing you remember is Frank biting your collar and dragging you back to the courtyard.

The last thing you see before you lose consciousness is Frank's disapproving glare. "Chief, I tried to warn you."

The last thing you remember is Frank dragging you back out of the tunnel with his teeth, muttering his disapproval.

• You can enter the maze while falling-down drunk.
• Rule of thumb:
  • Defeating a topiary monster allows you to skip one noncombat.
  • Passing an elemental test allows you to skip up to two noncombats (except for the last two tests, where you have less than two remaining noncombats).

History

• The Tower was revamped in 2015. For the old version of the maze see The Hedge Maze/Old.
