"You cannot escape the labyrinth..."

- cookie0126z01_head.png Mala Sauce Cookie Unyielding Rook (비틀린 미궁의 인도자 Twisted Labyrinth Guide) is an Epic Costume for Mala Sauce Cookie. It was released on December 30th, 2020. It is her first and only Epic Costume, and her second Costume overall, preceded by Destined Leader.

It gives a bonus to Mala Sauce Cookie's Thrasher Points.

Twisted Labyrinth puts Pomegranate Cookie in red, black, and gold ceremonial attire, with flowery designs at the bottom of the sleeves of her outfit. Her mirror becomes much more complex, with golden tassels hanging off of it and red gems resembling pomegranate seeds inserted into each corner of it. Her hair is allowed out slightly more, with it hanging down on each side of her face. However, the sides are still held up, but with chains ending in fluffy white cotton-like hairpieces. Her headpiece is now black, and though the middle gem retains its appearance for the most part, it has a blacker border and coloration. She has an additional headpiece adorning the very top of her head, a golden tiara with leaf-like designs on either end of it and another red gem in its middle. Her face has also been decorated with two red diamonds, one below each eye.

Her skill and Magic Candy are affected by the Costume, with the mirror's light turning orange as well as the Pomegranate Reflection Jellies. Pomegranate Piece Jellies are also orange, and the Pomegranate Jellies and Pomegranate Drop Jellies are made very ornate to match the appearance of Pomegranate Cookie herself.

As an Epic Costume, it can either be purchased with Rainbow Crystals at any time or obtained from a Costume Gacha pull.

Story
''Which side you play on the chessboard matters not. What matters is the game, the challenge, the battle itself. Mala Sauce Cookie is one of the most formidable opponents to be found on the chessboard. As an ally, she is your immovable defender. As an enemy, she is an unstoppable vanguard.''

Background
Twisted Labyrinth has very little background due to having no relation to any other Costumes. Pomegranate Cookie dons more ceremonial clothing, offering to guide those who need help navigating in the dark. Naturally, as is her nature, this leads only to certain doom for any who make the mistake of following her through what appears to be a labyrinth she personally created to impress Dark Enchantress Cookie. There is little other explanation or context to the meaning behind this Costume.

Trivia

 * Twisted Labyrinth was released alongside of Zephyr of Life, as well as being released on the same day as the Cookiemals.
 * Oddly, though Pomegranate Cookie has a unique "unhappy" sprite in the lobby normally, Twisted Labyrinth instead uses one of her sprites from when she runs out of Energy in a normal run.
