Named by the tribes, this dangerous jungle is home to some of the most terrifying mice ever discovered. Long ago the leaders of the tribes discovered a spicy cheese made with peppers capable of distracting the mighty beasts of the jungle. This peppered bait may be the key to luring these mice to a trap...

Overview

Jungle of Dread is a hunting location in Tribal Isles region.

It requires the rank of Hero and the Ocean Navigation Kit to access.

The Hunter can use Havarti Cheeses here to catch mice that drop Fire Salt to craft Inferno Havarti to use in Dracano.
The Hunter can use Standard Cheese here to catch mice that drop Vanilla Bean to craft Vanilla Stilton and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton to use in Balack's Cove.

Catching a Riptide Mouse without an Anchor Charm variant in Balack's Cove transfers the Hunter to this location.

Mice

Havarti mice

Each of these mice requires a specific Havarti to attract.

Shadow power type is very effective against them.

They can drop:

Other cheese mice

Any Standard Cheese can attract mice here, but Gouda and SUPER|brie+ are required to attract mice that drop Vanilla Bean to craft Vanilla Stilton and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton to use in Balack's Cove.
These 2 cheeses also attract those mice, for the case the Hunter is transferred from Balack's Cove upon catching a Riptide Mouse.

Hunting Tips by Larry

My knowledge of this area is woefully inadequate, due to my total knee-knocking fear of entering here. Maybe when you learn some things about this area, you can give me some tips. How does that sound?
