=== Hunting Tips by Larry ===
Welcome to the Seasonal Garden, MouseHunter!

I hope you brought a change of clothes with you, because the seasons around here shift every few days, bringing new weather, and new mice to trap.

If you're looking for a good general strategy, a tactical trap will perform well in any season. Most seasons also have another, secret weakness for Hunters to discover on their own, so experiment with different trap setups, and see what works. Be sure to keep an eye out for shards of the key to Zugzwang's Tower, as well- there's one shard hidden in every season.

As you catch mice in the garden, your Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause your Tower Amplifier to decrease.

When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to get a full charge before going in, because if you leave the tower, your amplifier will reset to zero.

==Tower Amplifier==
The '''Tower Amplifier''' is a game element and can first be found upon traveling to the Seasonal Garden.

The percentage of the Tower Amplifier increases by a different percentage depending on the mouse caught. The more the mouse is worth in points, the more the percentage gained will be.

Failing to attract a mouse will decrease the Tower Amplifier's percentage by 3%. Failing to catch a mouse will not affect the Tower Amplifier.

Upon moving to [[Zugzwang's Tower]] (not released at this time), the Tower Amplifier will decrease with every hunt. Moving out of Zugzwang's Tower will reset the percentage to 0%.

Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage.

The maximum percentage of the Tower Amplifier increases with the hunter's rank.

*[[Hunter's Title#Lord/Lady|Lord/Lady]]: 150%
*[[Hunter's Title#Baron/Baroness|Baron/Baroness]]: 160%
*[[Hunter's Title#Count/Countess|Count/Countess]]: 175%
