How to Activate and Solve Hedge Maze Puzzles

Pass Through the Green Archway

Pass through the middle of the leafy archway to activate and start the Blackwood hedge maze. The hedge maze should appear on the map only when you are close to it.

Find the Large Chest

After interacting with the note by the maze entrance, you can enter the maze and Grass Walls will appear. Navigate your way through the maze, and you will be able to complete the challenge once you open the Large Chest at the very end!

Tips for Solving Hedge Maze Puzzles

Hedge Mazes are Randomized

The layout of the maze is determined randomly, so if ever you are struggling with one maze in particular, you can load an earlier save file to generate a different maze layout!

Solve Hedge Maze as Soon as You Find One

Hedge Mazes tend to disappear after being found. The best way to prevent a hedge maze from disappearing is to finish one as soon as you find it.

Reload Previous Save

If a hedge maze has already disappeared and isn't appearing anymore, try reloading a previous save file before discovering the hedge maze.

Check Other Hedge Maze Spawn Locations

Hedge mazes spawn at the 5 designated spawn locations across the map. Check these 5 spawn locations to see if any mazes spawn in these areas.

Progress Story to Change Season

Hedge Mazes reappear when the season changes in-game. Try progressing through the main quest to advance the season.

Only PC Mods Allow Season Changing Post-Game

Once you've reached the post-game, you will be unable to change the season anymore. There are, however, unofficial mods for the PC version that allow you to change the season at will.

Safely Ignore Them

If all else fails and you are unable to make hedge mazes spawn, fret not, since these are not tied to 100% game completion and are not required for any trophies/achievements.
