Passage: Path of Betrayal Hints
How can I get through the hedge maze?
1 of 16: Your objective is the fortress at the top of the screen. The whole area is being patrolled by Shifter guards. Luckily the guards can only see things in their direct line of sight.
2 of 16: The guards never think to look up. So, get up above them.
3 of 16: The pillars are taller than they are, and so is that large tree up towards the top left.
4 of 16: Start by climbing the wall on the left side of the archway.
5 of 16: Now that you're up higher than the guards, "action" each of the pillars to get farther north of you. Pause to watch the action of the nearby guards. (Suggestion: Save your game here.)
6 of 16: You'll need to jump into the hedge and make a beeline across the ground at just the right moment.
7 of 16: Somehow you need to make it to the top left tree, but you'll need to make a run across the ground to get there.
8 of 16: Keep reading for more exact instructions and my illustration of the solution.
9 of 16: When the guard moving left to right turns to walk right, jump to the hedge and make a beeline to the top right corner of the hedge. Move into the hedge so that the guard walking to and from the tree doesn't spot you. (I had the most luck hiding myself inside the hedge at the right corner.)
10 of 16: When the tree guard turns back toward the tree, "action" the tree to climb it. (Saving your game here is a good idea.)
11 of 16: From the tree you can see a short row of pillars near you and a lone guard just standing there without moving. You'll want to jump that guard and swap clothes with him.
12 of 16: Jump to those pillars and then on top of that guard at just the right moment.
13 of 16: Then drag the fallen guard into the small house on the right.
14 of 16: The illustration below might help you see what path worked for me.
