Topsy, turvy, left is right, up is down, can't make heads or tails of it all maze of epic proportions. Navigating the Labyrinth is simple yet complex. The strongest of hunters easily collapse to their knees in sheer madness trying and failing to complete this almost living structure. Even those that make it through have no better understanding of its layout.

Overview

Labyrinth is a hunting location in Hollow Heights region.

Labyrinth and Zokor are 2 connected hunting locations.
They requires the rank of Duke/Duchess and the Labyrinth Key to access.

The Hunter can enter Zokor from this location when certain conditions are met.

When there is an on-going progress in Zokor, this location is locked.

The Hunter is transferred here when they end their run in Zokor.

Gameplay Mechanics

Compass

In this location, the Hunter collect clues.

  • There are 6 types of clues: Fealty, Tech, Scholar, Farming, Treasury, and Dead End.
    • The first 5 types are generated upon catching specific mice.
    • Dead End clue is generated upon failing to catch a mouse.
  • Fealty, Tech, Scholar, Farming, and Treasury requires specific Hallway type.
  • Compass Magnet can be used anytime to remove 3 clues of each type. Doing so consumes a magnet and adds 20 Mineral to the Hunter's inventory.
My Labyrinth Compass shudders and 3 of each clue type are lost. With those clues gone, I have more space to get fresh clues for the exits I want!

The Hunter can use the Retreat button to reset the Compass and return to the beginning of the Labyrinth anytime.

Sub-locations

In this location, the Hunter can go through multiple Hallways to collect the clues.
At the end of each hallway, the hunter are in a Intersection.

When the Hunter first enters Labyrinth, they are at an intersection with 3 hallway doors: Short Plain Fealty, Short Plain Tech, and Short Plain Scholar.

Hallway

Each hallway has 3 properties:

  • Hallway type: can be one of 5 types: Fealty, Tech, Scholar, Farming, or Treasury
    • The type determines the sub-groups of mice available.
  • Hallway quality: can be one of 3 qualities: Plain, Superior, or Epic
    • The quality determines the list of mice available.
  • Hallway length: can be one of 3 lengths: Short, Medium, and Long, with the length of 10, 15, and 25 respectively

Catching designated mice in the hallway generates specified clues.

My Labyrinth Compass needle swayed slightly against the magnetic force of 1 [Hallway Type] Clue.

Using Lantern Oil generates 1 additional clue when catching those mice.

Additionally, my Labyrinth Lantern helped me find an extra clue!

The lantern is turned off when the Hunter runs out of oil.

My Labyrinth Lantern ran out of fuel and went dim! I can no longer find extra clues.

Some specialized charms can also be used to generate more clues.

Each type of hallway requires a specific condition to unlock.
The condition is mostly about a minimum number of clues in the Compass.

Hallway Hallway type Hallway quality Unlock condition
Plain Fealty Fealty Plain N/A
Superior Fealty Fealty Superior 15 Fealty clues
Epic Fealty Fealty Epic 60 Fealty clues

Superior Scholar Scholar Superior 15 Scholar clues
Epic Scholar Scholar Epic 60 Scholar clues
Plain Farming Farming Plain After first hallway
Superior Farming Farming Superior 15 Farming clues
Plain Treasury Treasury Plain 15 total clues
Superior Treasury Treasury Superior 15 Treasury clues

Intersection

In the end of a hallway, the Hunter enters an intersection.

I have found an intersection! I'll have to choose a door to continue.
  • Lantern Oil is automatically turned off in intersection.
The intersection is brightly lit and the mice here do not have clues, so I turned off my Labyrinth Lantern.

If the total clue count is lower than 100, up to 3 hallway doors are shown.

  • Depending on the number of Dead End clues, there is a chance only 1 or 2 hallway door is shown.
  • The Shuffler's Cube can be used to roll for another set of hallway doors.
With a grinding whirr, the hallway spins and changes. The old doors crumble to dust, and fresh doors tear out of the rock.
  • Choosing a door moves the Hunter to the corresponding hallway.
I chose a [Length] [Quality] [Type] Hallway door.

If the total clue count is 100 or higher, a number of Zokor doors is shown.

I have found an exit! I'll have to choose a door to finally leave this accursed maze and enter Zokor!
I must choose wisely, as once I leave the maze and enter the city, I will have to navigate the Labyrinth all over again when I return!
  • Each type of door requires a specific condition to unlock.
  • The condition is mostly about a minimum number of clues in the Compass.
  • Choosing a door transfers the Hunter to the corresponding district in Zokor.
I exited the maze and emerged into the [District Name].
While I was in the maze, I found:
[List of clues found, by type]
The clues I found for the [District Name] helped me learn as much as I could about the best hiding spots in this district.
I will have [Number of District-Specific Clues Found] Stealth while in the city, allowing me to evade the guards for some time.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Greetings! First time here? ...Are you sure?

The Labyrinth is a complex, living, breathing, moving entrance devised by those that live within the massive city of Zokor as a security measure to deter any potential invaders from making it to the city's core.

At the entrance to the Labyrinth, you will find three doors. Each one sets out in the general direction of one of the three main city districts.

As you make your way through the corridors and endless hallways inside, you will need to collect clues to eventually find an exit into the city, guided by your special Labyrinth Compass.

Each door leads to a hallway themed after its respective district. My personal research has shown that hallways come in varying lengths and qualities, with each terminating at a new intersection with new doors to pick. The intersections vary in their options, and won't always have one of each type. There are more districts than the main three, and sometimes an intersection won't even have three doors!

Once the Labyrinth is ready to spit you out, you will come face to face with up to five exits which lead to the specified district indicated on the door. Not all exits will be unlocked and sometimes the exits will indicate different parts of the district that lies behind them. Making this final choice will lead you to Zokor, but you will have to return to the Labyrinth many times to find passage to all districts and all sections of each district within the city!

Each time you enter the city, the Labyrinth will lock down and reconfigure itself behind you while you explore your chosen district. When you return, the Labyrinth will be completely different than the last time you passed through.

Here, take this magical compass with you. It will store any clues you have obtained and guide you through the maze. It keeps leading me back to the entrance here so hopefully it will be of greater use to you...

Good luck! I'm gonna go sit down for a little bit...
