==Overview==
 +
The '''Lost City''' is a location in the [[Sandtail Desert]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Baron|Baron/Baroness]] and the [[Living Garden Key]] to enter. The [[Living Garden Key]] is obtained from the [[Cartographer#Muridae Market Cartographer|Cartographer]] at the [[Muridae Market]].
 +
 
 +
Mice in the [[Lost City]] are weak only to [[Arcane]] weapons.
 +
 
 +
[[Duskshade Camembert]] is required for attracting all mice in the [[Lost City]].  Hunters must use [[Searcher Charm]]s and play the [[Lost Curse Minigame]] to attract the [[Essence Collector Mouse]].
 +
 
 +
Hunters must collect [[Dreamfluff Herbs]] to use in purchasing [[Duskshade Camembert]].  [[Duskshade Camembert]] is required for attracting [[Carmine the Apothecary]] in the [[Living Garden]] to enter the '''Twisted World'''.
 +
 
 +
===Accessing the Twisted World===
 +
The '''Twisted World''' locations of [[Twisted Garden]], [[Cursed City]], and [[Sand Crypts]] can only be accessed by capturing [[Carmine the Apothecary]] with [[Duskshade Camembert]] in the [[Living Garden]]. Capturing [[Carmine the Apothecary]] will move the Hunter to the [[Twisted Garden]] and the following message is displayed:
 +
 
 +
''On catching Carmine the Apothecary, a light flashes and a spell she had prepared in advance erupts! Nightmarish tendrils of dark smoke burst from the ground around me, and before I knew it the world had changed before my very eyes into a wild and twisted version of itself.<br/>I can feel this world itself attempting to reject me and send me back, but I must stay as long as I am able to find out what Carmine is doing in this hidden, dark place.''
  
−
The alternate version of this location, the [[Cursed City]], can only accessed after catching a [[Carmine the Apothecary]] in the [[Living Garden]].
+
Hunting with any cheese other than [[Graveblossom Camembert]] in the [[Cursed City]] will cause Hunters to be moved to the [[Lost City]] and the following message will be displayed:
  
−
== Shops ==
+
''Almost as if an illusion suddenly shattered, the world around me snaps back to normal. Using '''X''' Cheese has brought me back to the normal world.''<br/>
−
These are the shops that can be found in the Lost City:
+
 
−
*[[Cheese Shoppe#Living Garden Cheese Shoppe|Cheese Shoppe]]
+
If an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] requires capturing the [[M400]] in the [[Lost City]], Hunters can encounter it in the [[Cursed City]], but will be dropped to normal reality for hunting with the wrong cheese.

== Lost Curse Minigame ==
 +
To activate the '''Lost Curse Minigame''', Hunters need to catch a mouse while the [[Searcher Charm]] is armed.
 +
 
 +
[[Searcher Charm]]s can be purchased in the [[Lost City Charm Shoppe]] in exchange for 350 gold and 1 [[Aleth Essence]].
 +
 
 +
The following message will be displayed in the [[Hunter's Journal]] when the curse is lifted:
 +
:''The power of my Searcher Charm dispelled the Lost Curse, lifting the curse from the Lost City!<br/>I should unequip my Searcher Charms and save them for later.''
 +
 
 +
The HUD message will also change to ''The curse is lifted! The Essence Collectors have stopped hiding! Watch out for that Cursed Mouse!'' Once the minigame is activated, [[Essence Collector]] mice can be attracted to the Hunter's trap, and the [[Cursed]] mouse will not be attracted for the first three hunts.  The curse will reappear once the hunter encounters a [[Cursed]] mouse and the following message will be displayed:
 +
:''The terrible power of the Cursed Mouse re-ignited the curse on the Lost City!''
 +
 
 +
Hunters can arm the [[Safeguard Charm]] to avoid encountering the [[Cursed Mouse]]. [[Safeguard Charm]]s are regularly found in [[Living Garden Treasure Chest]]s and are available for purchase on the [[Marketplace]].

To activate the Lost Curse Minigame, a hunter needs to catch a mouse while the [[Searcher Charm]] is armed. The following message will be displayed in the [[Hunter's Journal]] upon activation:

The HUD message will also change to ''The curse is lifted! The Essence Collectors have stopped hiding! Watch out for that Cursed Mouse!'' Once the minigame is activated, [[Essence Collector]] mice can be attracted to the hunter's trap, and the [[Cursed]] mouse will not be attracted for the first three hunts.

The Twisted World locations of Twisted Garden, Cursed City, and Sand Crypts can only be accessed by capturing Carmine the Apothecary with Duskshade Camembert in the Living Garden. Capturing Carmine the Apothecary will move the Hunter to the Twisted Garden and the following message is displayed:

On catching Carmine the Apothecary, a light flashes and a spell she had prepared in advance erupts! Nightmarish tendrils of dark smoke burst from the ground around me, and before I knew it the world had changed before my very eyes into a wild and twisted version of itself.
I can feel this world itself attempting to reject me and send me back, but I must stay as long as I am able to find out what Carmine is doing in this hidden, dark place.

Hunting with any cheese other than Graveblossom Camembert in the Cursed City will cause Hunters to be moved to the Lost City and the following message will be displayed:

Almost as if an illusion suddenly shattered, the world around me snaps back to normal. Using X Cheese has brought me back to the normal world.

If an M400 Hunting Research Assignment requires capturing the M400 in the Lost City, Hunters can encounter it in the Cursed City, but will be dropped to normal reality for hunting with the wrong cheese.

Lost City HUD

Hunters can access and track the following using the Heads-Up Display:

Lost Curse Minigame

To activate the Lost Curse Minigame, Hunters need to catch a mouse while the Searcher Charm is armed.

Searcher Charms can be purchased in the Lost City Charm Shoppe in exchange for 350 gold and 1 Aleth Essence.

The following message will be displayed in the Hunter's Journal when the curse is lifted:

The power of my Searcher Charm dispelled the Lost Curse, lifting the curse from the Lost City!
I should unequip my Searcher Charms and save them for later.

The HUD message will also change to The curse is lifted! The Essence Collectors have stopped hiding! Watch out for that Cursed Mouse! Once the minigame is activated, Essence Collector mice can be attracted to the Hunter's trap, and the Cursed mouse will not be attracted for the first three hunts. The curse will reappear once the hunter encounters a Cursed mouse and the following message will be displayed:

The terrible power of the Cursed Mouse re-ignited the curse on the Lost City!

Hunters can arm the Safeguard Charm to avoid encountering the Cursed Mouse. Safeguard Charms are regularly found in Living Garden Treasure Chests and are available for purchase on the Marketplace.

Lost City Mice

All mice found in the Lost City are part of the Lost City Mice group.
All mice found here are weak only to Arcane weapons.

Cursed Mouse

Capturing the Cursed Mouse will restore the Lost City Curse in the Lost Curse Minigame. This mouse will not be encountered for the 3 hunts immediately after the curse is lifted.
Safeguard Charms can be armed to prevent the attraction of the Cursed Mouse.

Essence Collector Mouse

Hunters wishing to attract the Essence Collector Mouse must lift the Lost City Curse as part of the Lost Curse Minigame.

Mice with Special Requirements

Hunting Strategy

Hunters should arm Dewthief Camembert to collect Dreamfluff Herbs from the mice found in the Lost City. Hunters can then use Dreamfluff Herbs (along with Duskshade Petals) to purchase Duskshade Camembert.

Hunters can then return to the Living Garden and arm Duskshade Camembert to capture Carmine the Apothecary which opens the Twisted World and causes Hunters to travel to the Twisted Garden.

Hunters wishing to attract the Essence Guardian Mouse must play the Lost Curse Minigame, which requires using Searcher Charms.

Hunting tips by Larry

I hope you managed to build up a large collection of Dewthief Cheese , hunter. The mice in this city don't seem to like anything else!

Long ago something strange happened to this city: it became trapped between two dimensions. You will only find ghostly appertains here, but do not be fooled - these mice are very much alive! Existing in multiple dimensions has it's advantages and the mice have learned to control them. These mice can swipe your cheese while still being mostly immune to your trap. It would seem that they are bound to our reality by their inherent magical aspect. Because of this weakness, your Arcane traps will be extremely effective at countering these wispy foes.

If you're looking to collect the most Garden Essences here, you'll want to dispel the Lost Curse that affects you while here. To do that, purchase a Searcher Charm from the store and catch a mouse. Simple as that! When the curse is dispelled, the Essence Collector Mouse is free to roam, and you're free to catch it and steal his cache of Garden Essences! But beware, should the Cursed Mouse show, the Lost Curse will be renewed and you'll need to use another Searcher Charm again.

Be sure to collect all the Dreamfluff Herbs you can while you're here. You'll need them to create cheese to keep hunting with!
