Loki's Maze was first introduced in October 16, 2015 as "Loki's Maze of Mayhem". It's a gigantic, long cavern filled with 4 to 6 mini-games for the player to overcome and reach the reward, always including Tuff and Ruff's Trade (which are 3 Mystery Chests of all the 3 different kinds). When it came out, it was just a small mini-game and something new to the game, but its popularity grew and has became a thing throughout the years, even getting two holiday counterparts: Christmas and Spring.
Just like the exclusive Animals, don't expect the Maze to be always released as the developers can forget about it and entirely skip it.
On September 27th, 2018, Loki's Maze of Mayhem was renamed to Fright of Passage to fit with the origin of Dreadfall.
The Course Minigames
The maze has a number of courses, though they always differ slightly, if not, at all, and each maze has a different course pattern.
| Course Name[1] | Description | Appearance | Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avoid the Boulders | Avoid the Boulders is a circular area, with about 2-3 open spots for the player to be safe from the "boulders". The "boulders" are often either large dragons (like Whispering Deaths or Boneknappers) or Christmas decorative balls and are built to immediately "kill" the player upon contact, any contact with the player sends them to the beginning of the minigame's course. The player has to make its way to the exit hole while avoiding from being hit by the "boulders". In front of the exit hole, there's always a ledge high enoguh to avoid the player from supposedly cheat the minigame by skipping the long route. | It is possible to skip the entire of the coruse by contenously jumping in the corners of the high ledge andhead straight for the exit. In 2018's Loki's Maze of Cheers, the distance from the ledge and the exit are higher, but by walk into the ledge's right corner, you can be safe from the balls and with precise timingv and a tight curve, head straight for the exit. | |
| Cross by X | Cross by X is a "Follow only x related to y" minigame, in this course, the player has to follow tiles related to the main theme, for example, if the theme is "Cross by Simple Machines" then the player has to walk on the tiles with simple machinery like the wheel and the pulley. If the player walks on the wrong one, the tile the player is standing on will immediately fall down which can catch a player off guard for those who are easily frightned. The player has to follow the said tiles to the exit. | By constantly jumping to the correct tiles to another correct tile, the player can easily skip the entire pathway and just head straight for the exit. | |
| Follow and Memorize the Path | This course is divided in two section: The first half requires the player to go through a multi-door labyrinth, about 1-2 lead to dead ends while most of them are blocked. On the floor of each room, there's a wooden tile with a different Dragon Class symbol - this is important to remember as the next half requires you to jump from tile to tile according to the order you found them. Just like the Cross by X course, if you jump to the wrong tile, it will immediately fall down and respawn you to the beginning of the Follow the Path section. | It's easy to tell which entrance can be walked through: only the functional entrances have a waterfall-esque noise. For the Memorize the Path, writing down the correct order of the Class symbols and how they look is a good way to avoid the dreaded "back to the begining", specially those who aren't familiar with SoD's Class symbols. | |
| Reflect the Light/Raise the Platform | Reflect the Light is also divided in two: | ||
| Platform Mayhem | |||
| Labyrinth |
