Tanglecorn

Tanglecorn

Location

Tanglecorn is a landmark located in Wistmead ^{[70.8N, 113.63W]}, introduced during the Harvest Festival of 2018. It is a sprawling maze made of towering wheat hedges, designed to challenge festival-goers with its eerie ambiance and winding paths. The maze sits at the heart of Wistmead and serves as the centerpiece of the seasonal festivities, blending autumn charm with playful mischief.

The name is possibly meant as a subtle pun, as in some parts of the English-speaking world, the word "corn" refers specifically to the grain maize. [1]

Guide

A major feature of Tanglecorn is that its layout changes daily, cycling through five distinct maze configurations. The maze increments to the next layout at 10:00 a.m. server time (rather than the usual 3:00 a.m. reset for most festival activities).

The quests Challenging Wheat and Cheat of the Wheat each have five versions, and the one bestowed depends on the currently active maze layout. Completing these quests contributes to the meta deed The Wistmead Wheat Maze.

Each maze layout contains at least two routes from entrance to exit:

• A normal route, which follows the visible paths bounded by the hedges.
• A cheat route, which takes advantage of hidden gaps in the hedges. These disguised openings allow for faster traversal and are represented by dashed lines on the maze maps.
