Echoes of a New Update
Feature
Written by Silquer
Edited by Immites
Before the update, parkours and mazes could be found in some locations across the map, but there was never any specific reason for their location nor any quest linked to these activities. However, with the Echoes of the Past update, a whole new dimension of intrigue and exploration has been added to the parkours and mazes throughout the map!
To begin the very first quest and start your journey, check the mailbox outside of the Great Hall to uncover the new questline. This will lead you to Emery, a student who will help you along your journey as an Echo Reader. An Echo is a memory trapped in an object and as an Echo Reader, players can explore these memories in the form of parkours and mazes. Let me share some of my favorite Echoes that you just need to find, starting with parkour.
Parkour is one of my favorite activities on Potterworld! Dashing through a library, leaping through a vault, and using magic to traverse a difficult course brings me so much joy. There are twenty parkour maps in total to discover! However, my favorites are some of the simpler ones. The Future Unforetold is a challenging traversal that incorporates magic, so have your wand at the ready. The Lost Toad parkour is also a classic with a particularly cozy atmosphere. These and more are at your disposal to discover, and I encourage you to do just that. Happy jumping!
Mazes are a particular challenge but no less enjoyable. There is something therapeutic about twisting and turning and getting lost in well-crafted halls, surrounded by lovely scenery. There are only five in total, but they are all filled with endless challenges. For example, the Late for Class maze is a spectacular simulator for all of those breathless times we students have run down the halls after the bell has rung. Elsewhere, Broken Helmets maze is an overgrown mining track that you must follow to the very end. Both of these mazes are tricky and will take some time and dedication to crack (if you can find them, of course). Best of luck!
The objects holding Echoes must be discovered naturally as you progress through Potterworld’s many towns and locations, but if you find yourself in a bit of trouble Emery is available to help with plenty of hints. There are also rewards available, so be sure to check back with Emery every once in a while to see if you have enough to purchase some of the special new items. My favorite is Emery’s Scarf, and the two sceneries are gorgeously made!
Additionally, there are three different versions for each map that are unlocked as you follow the Echoes of the Past questline. These versions are unlocked with each of the three questlines that are part of the Echoes of the Past. To see what these versions are, players must simply discover them!
Furthermore, if your competitive side cannot be quenched, there are leaderboards for every parkour and maze! Players can compete for the coveted fastest completion time in both mazes and parkours. I encourage all to try their skill at the leaderboard and see what they can achieve with time and patience.
Regardless of whether you are the competitive sort, a completionist, or simply a fun addict, I highly recommend you explore all of the maps and give each one a shot! A lot of hard work went into this update to keep the content fresh and exciting for players, so be sure to enjoy your travels and, most importantly, have fun!
