==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
<pre style="font-style: italic; display: inline-block; margin-left: 1em">
+
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

Double, double toil and trouble,

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Pumpkin bits foul and rotten,

From the Greenwood, ill-begotten.

Mushy marrow and pepper of ghost,

Brew a cheese with howling scream.

For in the woods dark and deep,
 
−
Lies a witch who longs to reap.
 
−
Beware her voice and flashy attire,
 
−
Beware her magic and cauldron's fire.
 
−
Catch the witch and make her mute,
 
−
Take her precious Mousedrake Root.
 
−
And with this root, thou shalt queue,
 
−
The most Evil Extract that one could brew.
 
−
In the shoppe you'll have a notion,
 
−
To turn this extract into potion.
 
−
So take this evil and use it for good,
 
−
And with it conquer the Gloomy Greenwood!

==== Welcome to the Gloomy Greenwood ====
+
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
−
Larry the Friendly Knight has finally discovered a way into the mysterious forest in the Burroughs, North of the Toxic Spill. There he has uncovered a most unusual sight: a chicken-legged hut just sitting in the middle of the woods!
 
  
−
He has dubbed this new area the '''Gloomy Greenwood''' on account of its dreary and unwelcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, when Larry arrived he discovered that the area was already densely populated with some very spooky critters, namely the Halloween event mice. But this year, the spookiest mice in the Kingdom are following a new leader and it is none other than the legendary witch: '''Baba Gaga'''!

==== Collect Ingredients and Start Brewing ====
+
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | Collect Pecan Pecorino to loot Golem Parts
−
The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!
+
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | Forge more Golem Parts at the Workshop
−
 
 
−
Click on either cauldron to open up Baba Gaga's '''Recipe Book''' where you'll find all the information you need to start brewing her sinister concoctions.
 
−
 
 
−
Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the '''Pungent Pumpkins''' that they are carrying. If you have any leftover Halloween event cheese from previous years then you can use that instead of basic bait.
 
−
 
 
−
Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of '''Monterey Jack-O-Lantern'''. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.
 
−
 
 
−
Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to '''Scream Cheese''' in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!
 
−
 
 
−
When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called '''Mousedrake Root'''. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!
 
−
 
 
−
'''Evil Extract''' can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some brand new and extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all the available potions and what each of them can do.

Larry the Friendly Knight has spent seemingly countless hours training new Recruits and helping them hone their hunting skills. Over his many years of diligent tutelage, Larry has certainly refined his process and often tried brand new training techniques. Today, in coordination with the King and utilizing some of the feedback from the Great Gnawnian Census Larry has put together his most recent changes to his methods!

Thanks to Larry's updated techniques, new hunters in the Town of Gnawnia will now have a much easier time attracting and capturing most mice while reaping greater rewards for securing the town. After many years of feasting on stolen cheese from new hunters, the Town of Gnawnia mice have become more picky about which types of cheese they are attracted to -- as a consequence, hunters should be able to more effectively single out bounty targets by using their preferred bait!

Meanwhile, the Windmill has received an upgrade by order of the King, and will now churn out Packets of Flour reliably every time a mouse is caught. The faster the Windmill spins, the more flour it will consistently produce! To account for this increased rate of production, the Windmill Cheese Shoppe now only accepts orders for Grilled Cheese in batches of 5, which means more attempts at capturing the elusive Captain Croissant!
+
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>

New and veteran MouseHunters alike will be pleased to hear that the King has been hard at work developing a new cheese aging process which increases the efficacy of cheese in attracting mice. More affordable cheeses like Cheddar and Marble have received the greatest gains from this new development. However, most types of cheese including Gouda and crafted varieties of cheese will benefit from this new process by failing to attract less often.
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
−
Where Cheddar Cheese used to attract a mouse roughly half of the time, Larry has measured the new attraction rate to be around 70% using this new process. Similarly, Marble now attracts at a rate of 75%, Swiss at 80%, Brie at 85%, and Gouda 90%.
+
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
  
−
In combination with Larry's updated hunting techniques, various mice indigenous to Gnawnia have had specific weaknesses exposed and will be easier to capture for all hunters.
+
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 13!'''</div></div>
  
−
These training endeavors are just a part of Larry's endless commitment to improving his training methods! As Larry continues to hone his methods and learn new techniques, future generations of MouseHunters can expect further improvements as time goes on.
