A seemingly bottomless quarry that reaches down into a dark abyss. A valuable source of Nachore can be found here but it is guarded by a resilient group of mice.

Overview

Cantera Quarry is a hunting location in Queso Canyon region.
It requires the rank of Count/Countess and the Queso Dowsing Rod to access.

In this location, the Hunter can loot Nachore to upgrade the Pump as well as to purchase the map piece for Queso Geyser in the Cartographer.

The HUD shows elements of the Pump and various cheese used in the region:

Mice

All mice in Cantera Quarry are part of Queso Canyoneers mouse group, Quarry Quarries sub-group.

Shadow is the only power type working against these mice.

Higher-tier queso attracts mice that drop more Nachore.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

HELLO THERE, HUNTERS... hunters... (hunters...)

ECHO... echo... (echo...)

Alright, enough of that.

Watch your step! This quarry runs deep down below the surface and hunters that have entered have yet to return.

The only thing that can distract these mice from their work excavating the quarry is delicious queso! The spicier the cheese, the further into the quarry the scent seems to penetrate, bringing more powerful mice up from the depths, looking to taste the mouthwateringly-spiced queso. The stronger the mouse, the deeper they've explored, and the more Nachore they'll have. Spicier queso will help you find more Nachore much faster!

Nachore is very valuable in Queso Canyon. Not only can you use it to upgrade your pump, but it can be used to purchase a variety of goods from the General Store. The King needs the extra Nachore to keep producing pumps for new hunters to the area, so keep on extracting it and trading it in for goods, even after your pump is fully upgraded!

Good luck and don't fall in!
