==== Year of the Horse ====
−
Within the Great Winter Taiga to the North, the Frost King has once again constructed his massive Ice Fortress. Shielded by a dome of thick ice, the Frost King is projecting an icy spell to plummet the Kingdom into perpetual winter!
+
The Year of the Horse is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with Lunar New Year mice at '''fourteen''' locations across Gnawnia!
  
−
Fortunately the arrival of the Festive Comet and Animated Snow provides the perfect means of amassing ammunition to shatter the shield: Hailstones! Visit the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts and Animated Snow. Construct magical Snow Golems to collect not only valuable hunting supplies but also Hailstones which can be fired at the fortress to shatter its shield, allowing hunters to confront the Frost King.
+
Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!

Raise your Lantern to celebrate the Year of the Horse!

Year of the Horse

The Year of the Horse is upon us and it's time to kick off the celebration with heaps of luck and loot! The Lunar Lantern has returned along with Lunar New Year mice at fourteen locations across Gnawnia!

Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn double or triple loot anywhere in the Kingdom!

How to Celebrate

Stockpile Locations

Travel to any one of these stockpile locations. You can refer to the Lunar New Year Heads-Up Display to view this list along with a travel button to take you directly to a specific location. This year, Conclusion Cliffs is a new addition to the stockpile locations!

S.S Huntington IV Claw Shot City Gnawnia Rift Fungal Cavern
Moussu Picchu Queso River Islands' Launch Pad Foreword Farm
Bountiful Beanstalk Climb Conclusion Cliffs Prewriting
Gather Dumpling Cheese

At stockpile locations, you can gather Dumpling Cheese by hunting as you normally would. The mice in stockpile locations have a chance to drop Dumpling Cheese.

Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice

Gather Lunar Lantern Candles from any event mice while hunting with Dumpling Cheese at Stockpile Locations. If you hunt with Nian Gao'da cheese you will also find some coveted Red Lunar Lantern Candles!

When your lantern is lit with Lunar Lantern Candles, you will find DOUBLE loot from mice anywhere in the Kingdom! If you're lighting Red Lunar Lantern Candles you'll find TRIPLE loot!


The amazing power of the lantern and candles doesn't end there. While you hunt with your lantern lit, it will rise into the air in search of more rewards. Each hunt with a Lunar Lantern Candle lit will raise your lantern by one foot and each hunt with a Red Lunar Lantern Candle lit will raise it by two feet!


Every ten feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive a +1 Luck bonus to your trap that will apply whenever candles are burning. The bonus is cumulative, so the higher you go, the more luck you'll get!


Every thirty feet that your lantern ascends, you'll receive an extra reward in addition to the +1 Luck! Be sure to check out the heads-up display to get a glimpse of all the valuable items that await you along the reward track including a new trap skin, Year of the Horse Journal Theme, and Red Lunar Lantern Candles.

Exciting Skins!

Riding in with two new trap skins, the Year of the Horse Trap Skin Bundle lights your way with two new trap skins and 30 Red Lunar Lantern Candles!

Year of the Horse Trap Skin Bundle
New Trap Skins!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, some lovely skins are returning! Check out the Premium Shop to see the entire collection including:

  • Valentine School of Sharks Skin
  • Enraged Love Bot Skin
  • Valentine's Celestial Dissonance Skin
  • Chocolate Covered Reaper Perch Skin

Lunar New Year Items

The various shops at stockpile locations stock Lunar New Year themed items that can be purchased after the Lunar New Year adventure is completed and the adventure reward claimed. Keep an eye out for some unique airship parts, trap skins, and more!

The Lantern Lighter Scroll Case is also returning to Cartographers at stockpile locations, where you can work together with friends to track down Lantern Lighter Treasure Chests to earn Dumpling Cheese and Lunar Lantern Candles.

The Lunar New Year event will end on February 24, 2026

As of February 24, you will no longer be able to collect Dumpling Cheese or Lunar Lantern Candles at stockpile locations.


You will no longer be able to light any Lunar Lantern Candles and therefore won't receive the Lantern luck bonus, loot bonus, or be able to make any more progress on the reward track.


You will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and purchase Lunar New Year items at stockpile location shops until March 3.
