==== There is More to the Story ====
 
−
The story of the Folklore Forest has been edited, updated, and embellished with many exciting new plot points, details, and even a brand new character!
 
  
−
==== A Foreboding Foreword ====
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
The serene soil of the Foreword Farm has been disrupted by a new and very lucrative type of plant: '''the Twisted Parable Papyrus Plant'''!
+
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.
−
Twisted Parable Papyrus Plant
 
  
−
This new plant requires Crop Coins to plant but will yield even more Parable Papyrus when harvested! Open the "Manage Plots" popup in the Foreword Farm to see all the details of this valuable new plant.
+
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.
  
−
However, farmers should be warned that there is something... not quite right about these new plants. There is a warning in the Gnawnian Farmer's Almanac that planting too many of these in your field may attract a new and very dangerous kind of pest to your farm!

A variety of exciting new changes and improvements have made their way into the Folklore Forest!
 
  
−
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
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>
−
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''New Look for the Manage Plots Popup''' </div></div>
 
  
−
The Manage Plots popup in the Foreword Farm has been restyled to add more information while taking up less space and the plant selections have been reordered so that they appear in the same order on both Browser and Mobile.

<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Brainstorm Chum Can Now be Scattered Without Cheese Armed''' </div></div>
 
−
Previously Brainstorm Chum could only be scattered if Grubbeen, Clamembert, or Stormy Clamembert Cheese was already armed. Now you can scatter your Brainstorm Chum with any cheese armed or even no cheese at all! The chum still only functions with the above-mentioned cheeses so you will now see a warning on the Heads-Up Display if you arm an incompatible cheese but you now can activate your Chum first and arm your cheese afterwards. Furthermore, if you do activate your Chum with an incompatible cheese such as Gouda or SUPER|brie+ and you accidentally take a hunt, you will '''NOT''' lose any Chum during that hunt and it will automatically deactivate itself afterwards.

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
−
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Loot Per Catch on the Pond HUD''' </div></div>
 
−
An indicator has been added to the Heads-Up Display in the Prologue Pond (on both Browser and Mobile) to show which item is currently being looted based on your cheese and chum state and the quantity range that you can earn per catch!
 
  
−
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:
−
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Mobile Camp Page Improvements''' </div></div>
+
*Golem Parts
−
The Mobile camp page has been made much more informative when hunting in the Foreword Farm and the Prologue Pond. While hunting in the Foreword Farm, the camp page now tells you which plant types are in each plot (via their thumbnail) and how many catches are remaining until your next plant finishes. While hunting in the Prologue Pond, the camp page now tells you whether Brainstorm Chum is currently being scattered (blue is inactive, magenta is scattered) as well as your quantity of Chum and the quantity of the item you're currently looting.

<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Choose What Happens to your Bait After Publishing''' </div></div>
 
−
In the Table of Contents, you can now choose what happens to your bait after publishing a book. You can choose between the default behaviour which is to automatically arm your standard bait of choice or you can choose to have your bait disarm completely. This way you can easily prevent valuable charms from being wasted after an Encyclopedia run ends by simply choosing to have your bait disarm automatically. Whenever you start writing a new book, you'll be presented with this option but you can also change it at any time directly from the Table of Contents Heads-Up Display.

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

The Frost King's Latest Attack

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.

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.

The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a map to complete and new rewards to earn!
