====Labyrinth Puzzle Box====
+
On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the Great Winter Hunt event will enter its shutdown phase. At this time, Pecan Pecorino and Golem Parts will no longer be found as loot drops. Forges will still work at the Golem Workshop and Cannons can still be fired at the Ice Fortress but Compressed Cinnamon will no longer drop in Cinnamon Hill.</div>
While exploring the Labyrinth, a hunter found a mysterious Puzzle Box that glowed with a new and powerful aura. However, upon touching the box it shattered into six pieces which all flew off deeper into the maze! Curious about this artifact, the King has called upon experienced hunters to explore the Labyrinth in an attempt to recover all six pieces.
 
  
====Recovering the Six Pieces====
 
The pieces are hiding in Fealty, Scholar, and Tech Hallways within the Labyrinth and in their respective districts within Zokor. They are hidden deep within the Labyrinth, meaning you're not likely to find them in the first hallway. The more of one type of clue you collect, the more likely you'll be to find that related piece.
 
  
You can track which pieces you've recovered by clicking the banner above your hunter's journal.

*'''Two Fealty Puzzle Pieces'''
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
:You can find both of the Fealty-themed puzzle pieces within the various Fealty hallways in the Labyrinth or any Fealty district in Zokor itself.
 
*'''Two Scholar Puzzle Pieces'''
 
:You can find both of the Scholar-themed puzzle pieces within the various Scholar hallways in the Labyrinth or any Scholar district in Zokor itself.
 
*'''Two Tech Puzzle Pieces'''
 
:You can find both of the Tech-themed puzzle pieces within the various Tech hallways in the Labyrinth or any Tech district in Zokor itself.
 
  
'''Remember:''' The more of one type of clue you collect, the more likely you are to find a mouse that drops that piece. For example: Someone with 30 Tech clues in the Labyrinth is much more likely to find the Tech puzzle pieces than someone with only 5 Tech clues.
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:
 +
*Golem Parts
 +
*Animated Snow
 +
*Reinforced Ice Shards
 +
*Compressed Cinnamon
 +
*Hailstones
 +
*Firework Sugar Cookies
 +
*Magical Holiday Scarf
 +
*Golem Gift Box
  
====The A-MAZE-ing Aura====
+
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 13!'''</div></div>
Once you've recovered all six puzzle pieces you can unlock the Puzzle Box by clicking the banner above your hunter's journal. Inside the box is contained a new and powerful trap aura called the A-MAZE-ing Aura that will grant a variety of bonuses while hunting in the Labyrinth and Zokor.
 
  
* +5 Luck Bonus in both the Labyrinth and Zokor
 
* Bonus chance of preventing Dead End Clues in the Labyrinth
 
* The Manaforge Smith Mouse will drop an extra Powercore Hammer
 
* The Soul Binder Mouse will drop an extra Sacred Script
 
* The Paladin Weapon Master Mouse will drop an extra Infused Plate
 
* The Retired Minotaur will drop one of the following: Powercore Hammer, Sacred Script, Infused Plate
 
* All three district leaders and the Retired Minotaur will drop the new Puzzle Box Infinite Labyrinth Skin
 
  
As soon as you open the Puzzle Box, the A-MAZE-ing Aura will immediately activate and remain active until March 1, 2016. The sooner you recover the Puzzle Box, the longer you'll be able to reap the aura's benefits!
