A once long-lost civilization, now left in ruins. The magics that at one point coursed through the city have been released into the surrounding area, lending power to the environment. This power has created intense fluctuations in the weather and has attracted some particularly powerful mice...

Overview

Moussu Picchu is a hunting location in Hollow Heights region.
It requires the rank of Grand Duke/Grand Duchess and the Moussu Picchu Climbing Route to access.

In this location, the Weather determines the attraction pool when using Windy, Rainy, and Dragonvine cheeses.

Wind Mice drop Arcanevine. Rain Mice drop Shadowvine. Those 2 loot can be combined to make Dragonvine.
Dragonvine Mice drop Dragon Scale needed to purchase most shop items.

Weather Mechanic

In this location, a Weather mechanic is used.

  • There are 2 meters, Wind and Rain, which have their intensity measured in "%".
    • The range is 0 - 100%.
    • The intensity can be divided to 4 levels:
      • Low: 0 - 34%
      • Medium: 35 - 79%
      • High: 80 - 99%
      • Max: 100%
  • The outcome of each hunt affects the intensities.
    • Catching a Wind Wanderer increases Wind intensity by 3% and decreases Rain intensity by 3%.
    • Catching a Rain Roamer increases Rain intensity by 3% and decreases Wind intensity by 3%.
    • Catching a Storm Dragon increases both Wind and Rain intensities by 3%.
    • Catching a Fungal Feeder or Potion Brewer decreases both Wind and Rain intensities by 3%.
    • Failing to attract a mouse decreases both Wind and Rain intensities by 3%.
    • Failing to catch a mouse decreases both Wind and Rain intensities by 2%, with some exceptions:
      • Failing to catch a Wind Warrior decreases Wind intensity by 10% instead of 2%.
      • Failing to catch a Rainmancer decreases Rain intensity by 10% instead of 2%.
      • Failing to catch a Ful'Mina, The Mountain Queen decreases both Wind and Rain intensities by 15% instead of 2%.
  • The weather intensities determines the attraction pool.
    • Wind intensity determines Wind Wanderer attraction pool.
    • Rain intensity determines Rain Roamer attraction pool.
    • Storm intensity, which is the lower intensity between Wind and Rain, determines Storm Dragon attraction pool.
  • Using Fire Bowl Fuel prevents the intensities from decreasing.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

*Phew!* I never thought I would make the climb! Glad to see you up here, hunter!

Welcome to Moussu Picchu! I knew it would be just a matter of time before we found this land of legend ever since we first stumbled through the Labyrinth!

Up here the weather is quite unpredictable and seems to be kept in check by the local Moussu Picchu Inhabitants.

The Wind Wanderer mice are linked with the Arcane energies of the wind. You will need to use an Arcane trap to best capture this group! As for the Rain Roamer mice, the energy that comes from dark rain clouds is linked to Shadow traps, which will be needed to catch them.

Arming basic cheese (or even better: Glowing Gruyere) will attract the Fungal Feeder and Potion Brewer mice. These mice can drop crafting items and special potions that will create storm-based cheese to help attract the Wind and Rain mice! The Fungal Feeder mice will drop crafting items for Glowing Gruyere.

Catching mice from their respected groups will alter the weather up here on the plateau. Wind mice will make it windier and the Rain mice will make it rainier. As the weather gets worse, stronger mice from each group will appear while the weaker ones will go and seek shelter.

These stronger mice can drop powerful vines collected from the flora that grow when the weather intensifies. These vines will be required to craft Dragonvine Cheese, a powerful bait that will beckon forth the powerful Storm Dragon mice.

If the wind and rain get too strong, both forces together will create a powerful storm. During this period, the most powerful Storm Dragon mice will appear! Hope you brought your Draconic traps and charms!

Hope you brought your rain coat and boots! Not sure if it will help here, though... Good luck, hunter!

History and Trivia

  • 6 September 2017: Moussu Picchu was released as a new hunting location in Hollow Heights region.
  • 14 November 2017: A Cartographer was added as part of the Treasure Map update for Moussu Picchu.
  • The "panoramic view of a neighbouring lake" mentioned in the Moussu Picchu Climbing Route is an inside joke between several developers. It is not meant to foreshadow an upcoming new location.
