<p>Undead Emmental Potions have been discovered! These potions are cursed, making them highly unstable and currently unusable!

Thanks to Ronza's tireless efforts, the Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it is unfolding beneath our very feet.
  
<p>These strange potions are currently being found as loot from Zombie and Ravenous Zombie Mice in both the Mousoleum and the Catacombs. Be warned, due to the curse it seems hunters are unable to keep more than a few of these potions in their inventory at any given time.</p>

Instead of invading a world of fantasy yet again, this time the Mythweaver plans to invade the world with fantasy!
  
<p>To hunt in the Mousoleum or the Catacombs you'll need to supply yourself with some Radioactive Blue Cheese, which is made from potions primarily found as loot while hunting in the Laboratory.</p>

Thanks to Ronza's tireless efforts, the Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it is unfolding beneath our very feet.

Instead of invading a world of fantasy yet again, this time the Mythweaver plans to invade the world with fantasy!
