Preferred Cheese
The Black Widow Mouse has a distinct preference for SUPER|brie+ cheese, except in the Mousoleum, Catacombs, Forbidden Grove, and Acolyte Realm, where it is instead especially attracted to Radioactive Blue Cheese, and in Lagoon where it is instead especially attracted to Gnarled and Wicked Gnarly cheese. In the Laboratory, the Black Widow Mouse is especially attracted to both SUPER|brie+ and Radioactive Blue Cheese.
Hunting Strategy
The Black Widow is a mouse that is only rarely attracted to a hunter's trap, so one strategy is not to hunt for it and just let it come to you. Since the Black Widow does appear on Treasure Maps, hunters will sometimes actively hunt it. Hunting in the Harbour with SUPER|brie+ (or in the Mountain with SUPER|brie+ but without Prospector's Charms) will attract the most Black Widow mice. Hunting in the Lagoon with Gnarled cheese provides the best attraction without SUPER|brie+. Some hunters like to use Wicked Gnarly cheese in the Lagoon for a chance to catch the Silth mouse at the same time.
