Return of the Haunted Terrortories!
17 October 2013
Brains, brains, BRAINS! (at the Haunted Terrortories)
Halloween in Gnawnia means one thing -- The return of the Haunted Terrortories! If you're in the mood for some frightfully haunted hunting, pack a powerful trap and travel to the Haunted Terrortories in Gnawnia! You'll need to look lively while hunting, because this year, more mice than ever are undead!
Perhaps most concerning are reports of a particularly nasty, zombie-like creature from the end of the Pumpkin Patch. Are you brave enough to venture through the Corn Field Maze, Haunted Manor, and Pumpkin Patch to discover what abomination awaits you at the end?
Gathering Spooky Supplies
In order to navigate the Haunted Terrortories, you're going to need both Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese. Gathering this cheese in Gnawnia is a familiar tradition. Each day, hunters may go "Trick-or-Treating" at the profile of up to 10 of their friends. Before you visit others, be sure to visit your own profile and choose what type of cheese you're handing out! Additionally, you may find supplies inside Pumpkin Treat Baskets which you can send as gifts to friends!
Not feeling in the mood to ring doorbells? No problem! Hunt using Swiss, Brie, Gouda or SUPER|brie+ at the Haunted Terrortories to attract Hollowhead Mice, which are known to drop both Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese.
Are you an experienced hunter looking to hunt more challenging and rewarding mice? Visit the Charm Shoppe at the Haunted Terrortories and purchase Spooky Charms which, when armed, will attract more fearsome mice worth greater rewards!
Once you've stockpiled a healthy amount of Candy Corn and Ghoulgonzola Cheese, arm it at the Terrortories to begin treating and tricking the mice there. Each mouse you capture using Candy Corn will treat a mouse, while each capture using Ghoulgonzola will trick a mouse. Upon both treating and tricking enough mice, you'll progress to the next area in the Haunted Terrortories. Your trick and treat progress will be displayed while hunting in the Haunted Terrortories.
A boss without brains
If what other hunters are reporting is accurate, then at the end of the Haunted Terrortories is a truly creepy mouse looking to steal the brain of any hunter that crosses their path! Defeating this brain thief will earn you a unique item to build your very own limited edition, brain-stealing trap. This trap is the only currently known means of collecting bits of brain from zombie mice when capturing them. More experienced hunters may also find a way to upgrade their brain-stealing trap into a more powerful version.
I know what you're thinking, how can something as icky as zombie brains be useful?! The always resourceful Mustachio has the answer! He has found a way to harness these unique bits of grey matter into a charm that will attract droves of zombies! Once you've built your brain-stealing trap, try using the brain bits you harvest with some Orbs and Charmbits to create Brain Charms!
The ghoulish rewards do not stop with brains! Visit the various shoppes at the Haunted Terrortories where a wide variety of other unique items can be purchased using Halloween Candies and Cobwebs you find during the event.

Visit the library and pick from a simple, or more advanced Halloween assignment to catalog various mice in the Haunted Terrortories.
