Hunters loot Cork Bark, build Pressure and hunt Dragon Nests for loot.

Collecting Cork Bark

Hunters can arm Bland Queso, Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso, Flamin' Queso or Wildfire Queso to attract mice that drop Cork Bark.

Cork Bark is used to construct Small, Medium, Large or Epic Corks.

Building Pressure

Hunters can arm Bland Queso, Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso, Flamin' Queso or Wildfire Queso to attract mice that build pressure.

The amount of pressure needed to blow a cork and cause an eruption is dependant on the type of cork constructed.

Looting Dragon Nests

After causing an eruption, Hunters can arm Bland Queso, Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso, Flamin' Queso or Wildfire Queso to loot the Dragon Nest for ______

HUD

The HUD tracks the Following Items:

• Hunter's inventory of Bland Queso
• Hunter's inventory of Mild Queso and Mild Spice Leaf
• Hunter's inventory of Medium Queso and Medium Spice Leaf
• Hunter's inventory of Hot Queso and Hot Spice Leaf
• Hunter's inventory of Flamin' Queso and Flamin' Spice Leaf

• Hunter's inventory of Wild Tonic; which can be used by clicking on the icon on the HUD
• Hunter's inventory of Cork Bark, Congealed Rubber, Geyserite and Tungsten

On the center top of the HUD, beside the area's name -Queso Geyser- there is a travel icon. When clicked, a popup appears showing Queso River, Prickly Plains, Cantera Quarry and Queso Geyser. From here, hunters can freely travel to any of the 4 locations listed.

Hunters can arm and craft the various cheeses by hovering over the corresponding HUD components and picking which recipe they prefer to craft.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting tips by Larry

Ah, Queso Geyser! The heart of the whole queso operation. A natural fount of delicious, molten queso that bubbles and gurgles its way from the unknown depths of Gnawnia's core to the surface. The most prevalent geologists have determined this to be biggest and most active geyser currently known within the entire Kingdom!

Its constant activity causes it to be a source of extreme heat as well as delicious cheese. Due to this, the strongest family of mice have taken roost here. Very powerful dragons have now made this their home, hoarding valuables and basking in the molten queso showers.

These Draconic mice are attracted to the natural eruptions that periodically occur and will roost nearby until one happens. Luckily, those clever geologists have found that you can create an all-natural barrier using cork and other materials found nearby to plug up the geyser and cause artificial eruptions allowing one to purposefully attract the geyser-dwelling dragons!

You will need to hunt the more timid mice in the area that come out when the geyser is least active. Catching them will award you with valuable Cork Bark that you can use to craft a cork and plug up the geyser, starting a build-up of pressure.

Once corked, the geyser will start to rumble and build pressure, scaring away the timid mice and bringing about the ones who thrive in and around the newly created high-pressure environment. As these mice are caught, their explosive energy will be captured and cause the pressure contained inside the geyser to build until it inevitably explodes!

During the cheesy eruption, the most powerful dragons of the area come out to stake claim to the delicious queso and to all the shiny and valuable materials that shake lose. If you can capture any of these mice, they will drop some of their impressive loot into the Dragon Nest.

When the eruption calms and these dragons leave, you will be able to safely loot the nest and see what valuable treasures they have left behind!

Good luck hunters, may you strike it rich!
