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!
  
The King is calling upon all hunters ranked '''Viceroy''' and above to venture into these mysterious new locations and gather the resources they will need to put a stop to the Mythweaver once and for all.
+
Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!
  
==== The End Begins Here ====
+

+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 +
<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Gather Dumpling Cheese'''</div></div>
 +
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.
  
Your adventure begins in the '''Afterword Acres''' where you must take on the daunting task of fending off the terrible blight that has gripped that once fertile land.
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 +
<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Gather Lantern Candles from Lunar Event Mice'''</div></div>
 +
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'''!
  
Use your trusty droids to harvest '''Literary Logs''' from the Infinitree and then carve them into '''Poetic Planks'''.
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
 +
<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Light Candles and soar into prosperity!'''</div></div>
 +
With the Horse Lantern claimed, you can begin lighting candles and reaping rewards!
  
Be warned that an invasive species has taken over that place so you'll need to fight them off and reduce their terrible blight in order to make your droids more efficient.
 
  
Arm your best '''Tactical''' trap and venture into the woods!
+
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!
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0; font-size: 115%">
 
'''Start Your Adventure Here'''
 
</div>
 
  
==== Ride the Rapids and Defeat the Falls Guardian ====
+
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!
Use the Poetic Planks you carved in the Afterword Acres to build barrels for riding the rapids in the '''Epilogue Falls'''!
 
  
These rushing waters are teeming with useful loot but also dangerous, aquatic mice so arm your best '''Hydro''' trap before embarking.
 
  
Battle against the forceful currents to reach the waterfall at the end where a powerful guardian awaits you!
+
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!
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0; font-size: 115%">
 
'''Continue Your Adventure Here'''
 
</div>
 
  
==== Unravel the Mythweaver's Plot ====
+
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.
The King's best folklore scholars are still trying to find the Mythweaver's exact whereabouts but so far they've been able to determine one very important clue: the Mythweaver's minions will have a taste for '''Plotting Paneer Cheese'''.
 
  
'''Plot Hooks''' are the key ingredient to making this devious delicacy and they can be found floating near the waterfall at the Epilogue Falls.
+
==== 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!
  
Therefore, the scholars are recommending that hunters begin collecting Plot Hooks in anticipation of their eventual discovery of a third, upcoming location known as the '''Conclusion Cliffs'''.

==== Master the Metaphor ====

==== Lunar New Year Items ====
'''Metaphor Morsels''' can be found in the Afterword Acres and on the shore of the Epilogue Falls when hunting with any standard bait.
+
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!
  
Use them to create the marvelous '''Metaphor Manchego Cheese''' which has unique and lucrative effects in both areas!
+
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.

Happy Lunar New Year

10 February 2026

Celebrate the Year of the Horse and earn DOUBLE or TRIPLE loot!

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!

Town of Gnawnia Laboratory Great Gnarled Tree Dojo
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!

Light Candles and soar into prosperity!

With the Horse Lantern claimed, you can begin lighting candles and reaping rewards!


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!

Lunar New Year Items

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.
