In the original release of [[MouseHunt]] on March 2008, it was the last location available to hunters. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.

==Overview==
 +
The [[Mountain]] is a location in the [[Gnawnia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Journeyman|Journeyman/Journeywoman]] to enter.<br>
 +
Mice in the [[Mountain]] may steal points, gold, or cheese.<br>
 +
Hunters accessing the [[Mountain]] for the first time will only have access to [[Physical]] weapons, but the mice here have a weakness to all [[Power Type]]s, '''except''' the [[Ninja Mouse]] which has a weakness only to [[Tactical]] and [[Physical]] weapons.
 +
 
 +
===Introduction to [[Charm]]s===
 +
Purchase a [[Charm Conduit]] from the [[Mountain Charm Shoppe]].
 +
The [[Mountain]] contains the only [[Charm Shoppe]] where Hunters can purchase the [[Charm Conduit]], which allows the arming of [[Charms]].<br>
 +
 
 +
===Smashing boulders and [[Crafting]] cheese===
 +
[[Hunter]]s will arm charms to smash boulders to obtain [[Chedd-Ore Cheese]] which when armed, attracts mice which drop ingredients for [[Abominable Asiago]].
 +
 
 +
==HUD (Heads Up Display)==
 +
If the Hunter does not own a Charm Conduit yet, the following text is displayed:
 +
:I say, HUZZAH, fellow hunter!
 +
:I'm the foremost Gnawnian scholar in pioneering hunting technology! By merging a '''Charm Conduit''' into your trap, you'll be able to arm a new kind of item called '''charms'''!
 +
:Charms let you boost your trap's power, luck, and do all sorts of things! You'll find new charms throughout Gnawnia, and your conduit will work everywhere.
 +
 
 +
Once the Hunter purchases the Charm Conduit from the [[#Charm Shoppe|Charm Shoppe]], the HUD reflects the HP of boulders. All boulders have 2,500 HP. The current [[Charm]] armed is also displayed, with the amount of damage said [[Charm]] deals. Damage dealt is equivalent to the '''Power''' of the armed [[Charm]].
  
−
== Shops ==
+
The HUD tracks the following items:
−
There are no shops available in the Mountain. Shops for the Gnawnia region can be found in the [[Town of Gnawnia]] and [[Harbour]].
+
*Hunter's inventory of [[Small Power Charm]]s, [[Power Charm]]s and [[Super Power Charm]]s.
 +
*Hunter's inventory of [[Brie]], {{SB}}, [[Chedd-Ore Cheese]] and [[Abominable Asiago]].
 +
*Hunter's inventory of [[Faceted Sugar]], [[Iced Curd]] and [[Magic Essence]].
  
−
== Mountain Mice ==
+
Hunters can directly arm or craft with any of the items tracked by the HUD.

+
 
 +
==Breaking Boulders==
 +
After purchasing a [[Charm Conduit]] from the [[Mountain Charm Shoppe]] for 0 gold, hunters can start to arm charms and break boulders. Hunting with [[Standard Cheese]]s in the [[Mountain]] will attract mice that drop [[Small Power Charm]]s. Additionally, [[Charm Shoppe]]s, [[King's Cart]], [[Marketplace]], [[Gift]]s or [[Event]]s all over the kingdom can yield charms.
 +
'''All''' [[Charm]]s can be armed after purchasing the [[Charm Conduit]].
 +
 
 +
The main goal is to deal 2,500 damage to a boulder, which will yield a varying amount of [[Chedd-Ore Cheese]].
 +
Damage dealt is determined by the Power stat of the [[Charm]] armed. Don't hesitate to use higher tiered [[Charm]]s should you have access to them for quicker progress. Arming a [[Charm]] with 2,500 or more power will instantly break the boulder, rewarding [[Chedd-Ore Cheese]] in a single hunt.
 +
 
 +
==Crafting [[Abominable Asiago]]==
 +
After Breaking boulders, arm the looted [[Chedd-Ore Cheese]] to attract [[Slope Swimmer|Slope Swimmer Mice]], [[Craggy Ore|Craggy Ore Mice]] and [[Mountain Mouse|Mountain Mice]]. These 3 mice drop [[Faceted Sugar]] and [[Iced Curd]]s which are used to craft [[Abominable Asiago]] to attract the [[Abominable Snow Mouse]]

==Hunting the [[Abominable Snow Mouse]]==
 +
After collecting sufficient [[Faceted Sugar]] and [[Iced Curd]]s, use the [[Recipe Book]] to craft [[Abominable Asiago]].
 +
Arm [[Abominable Asiago]], which exclusively attracts the [[Abominable Snow Mouse]].
 +
Doing so helps complete the [[Find the Hidden Mountain Pass]] [[Adventure Book]] entry and rewards hunters with a [[Laboratory Map Piece]].
 +
 
 +
==Mice==
 +
All mice in the [[Mountain]], '''except''' the [[Ninja Mouse]], are from the [[Indigenous Mice]] group and are weak to all [[Power Type]]s.<br/>
 +
The [[Ninja Mouse]] is one of the [[Followers of Furoma]] and [[Tactical]] traps are very effective against it.  [[Physical]] traps are of normal effectiveness. All other [[Power Type]]s are ineffective.
 +
 
 +
===Cheese Preference and Loot===
 +
[[White Cheddar Cheese]] will only attract [[Dwarf]], [[Frozen]] and [[Granite]] mice.<br/>
 +
{{SB}} will add the [[Black Widow]], [[Fog]], [[Frosty Snow]], [[Pebble]] and [[Silvertail]] to the mouse population in the [[Mountain]].<br/>
 +
[[Chedd-Ore Cheese]] will attract the [[Craggy Ore]], [[Mountain Mouse]] and [[Slope Swimmer]] mice.<br/>
 +
[[Abominable Asiago]] will attract the [[Abominable Snow Mouse]].<br/>
 +
[[Prospector's Charm]]s increase the attraction rate of [[Gold Mouse|Gold]], [[Diamond Mouse|Diamond]], and (with {{SB}} armed) [[Silvertail]] mice.

Release Date: 10 April 2008
This treacherous environment only allows the toughest of mice to survive. Be warned: the Mountain is no place for the novice mouse hunter!

Overview

The Mountain is a location in the Gnawnia region requiring a minimum rank of Journeyman/Journeywoman to enter.
Mice in the Mountain may steal points, gold, or cheese.
Hunters accessing the Mountain for the first time will only have access to Physical weapons, but the mice here have a weakness to all Power Types, except the Ninja Mouse which has a weakness only to Tactical and Physical weapons.

Introduction to Charms

Purchase a Charm Conduit from the Mountain Charm Shoppe. The Mountain contains the only Charm Shoppe where Hunters can purchase the Charm Conduit, which allows the arming of Charms.

Smashing boulders and Crafting cheese

Hunters will arm charms to smash boulders to obtain Chedd-Ore Cheese which when armed, attracts mice which drop ingredients for Abominable Asiago.

HUD (Heads Up Display)

If the Hunter does not own a Charm Conduit yet, the following text is displayed:

I say, HUZZAH, fellow hunter!
I'm the foremost Gnawnian scholar in pioneering hunting technology! By merging a Charm Conduit into your trap, you'll be able to arm a new kind of item called charms!
Charms let you boost your trap's power, luck, and do all sorts of things! You'll find new charms throughout Gnawnia, and your conduit will work everywhere.

Once the Hunter purchases the Charm Conduit from the Charm Shoppe, the HUD reflects the HP of boulders. All boulders have 2,500 HP. The current Charm armed is also displayed, with the amount of damage said Charm deals. Damage dealt is equivalent to the Power of the armed Charm.

The HUD tracks the following items:

Hunters can directly arm or craft with any of the items tracked by the HUD.

Breaking Boulders

After purchasing a Charm Conduit from the Mountain Charm Shoppe for 0 gold, hunters can start to arm charms and break boulders. Hunting with Standard Cheeses in the Mountain will attract mice that drop Small Power Charms. Additionally, Charm Shoppes, King's Cart, Marketplace, Gifts or Events all over the kingdom can yield charms. All Charms can be armed after purchasing the Charm Conduit.

The main goal is to deal 2,500 damage to a boulder, which will yield a varying amount of Chedd-Ore Cheese. Damage dealt is determined by the Power stat of the Charm armed. Don't hesitate to use higher tiered Charms should you have access to them for quicker progress. Arming a Charm with 2,500 or more power will instantly break the boulder, rewarding Chedd-Ore Cheese in a single hunt.

Crafting Abominable Asiago

After Breaking boulders, arm the looted Chedd-Ore Cheese to attract Slope Swimmer Mice, Craggy Ore Mice and Mountain Mice. These 3 mice drop Faceted Sugar and Iced Curds which are used to craft Abominable Asiago to attract the Abominable Snow Mouse

Hunting the Abominable Snow Mouse

After collecting sufficient Faceted Sugar and Iced Curds, use the Recipe Book to craft Abominable Asiago. Arm Abominable Asiago, which exclusively attracts the Abominable Snow Mouse. Doing so helps complete the Find the Hidden Mountain Pass Adventure Book entry and rewards hunters with a Laboratory Map Piece.

Mice

All mice in the Mountain, except the Ninja Mouse, are from the Indigenous Mice group and are weak to all Power Types.
The Ninja Mouse is one of the Followers of Furoma and Tactical traps are very effective against it. Physical traps are of normal effectiveness. All other Power Types are ineffective.

Cheese Preference and Loot

White Cheddar Cheese will only attract Dwarf, Frozen and Granite mice.
SUPER|brie+ will add the Black Widow, Fog, Frosty Snow, Pebble and Silvertail to the mouse population in the Mountain.
Chedd-Ore Cheese will attract the Craggy Ore, Mountain Mouse and Slope Swimmer mice.
Abominable Asiago will attract the Abominable Snow Mouse.
Prospector's Charms increase the attraction rate of Gold, Diamond, and (with SUPER|brie+ armed) Silvertail mice.
