==== The Gloomy Greenwood Returns ====
+
==== Year of the Horse ====
−
Celebrate the spookiest season with boiling cauldrons!
+
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!
  
−
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
+
Claim the Horse Lunar Lantern to light Lunar Lantern Candles and join the celebration to earn '''double or triple loot''' anywhere in the Kingdom!

<div style="font-size: 115%; font-weight: bold">
 
−
Baba Gaga and her chicken-legged hut have returned to the Gloomy Greenwood with '''FIVE''' brand new and powerful potions to be discovered!
 
−

==== Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing ====
+
==== How to Celebrate ====
−
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!
+
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">
−
 
+
<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Stockpile Locations'''</div></div>
−
 
+
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!
−
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.
 
−
 
−
 
−
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 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 of the available potions and what each of them can do.

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!

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.
