Lost City

This city suffered a terrible curse and was lost between dimensions! The mice residing here are ghostly apparitions as well, trapped between dimensions in an incorporeal state.

Description and Requirements

The Lost City is a location in the Sandtail Desert region requiring a minimum rank of Baron and the Living Garden Key to enter.

After capturing Carmine the Apothecary in the Living Garden, the hunter is transferred to a different version of the location, the Twisted Garden. This also will allow travel to the alternate version of the Lost City, the Cursed City, and the alternate version of the Sand Dunes, the Sand Crypts. If the Hunter switches to an incorrect cheese at any time, or runs out of the correct cheese for the twisted versions of these locations, the Hunter will be immediately returned to the normal versions of these locations.

Shops

These are the shops that can be found in the Lost City:

Hunting Strategy

The best way to collect essences is to activate the minigame. To activate it, a hunter needs to catch a mouse while the Searcher Charm is armed. The following message will be displayed upon activation:

The power of my Searcher Charm dispelled the Lost Curse, lifting the curse from the Lost City!
I should unequip my Searcher Charms and save them for later.

The HUD message will also change to The curse is lifted! The Essence Collectors have stopped hiding! Watch out for that Cursed Mouse! Once the minigame is activated, Essence Collector mice can be attracted to the hunter's trap. The curse will return after 5 hunts, or if the hunter catches a Cursed mouse.

While playing the minigame is the fastest way to collect essences, it is by no means a requirement to do so.

Hunting tips by Larry

I hope you managed to build up a large collection of Dewthief Cheese, hunter. The mice in this city don't seem to like anything else!

Long ago something strange happened to this city: it became trapped between two dimensions. You will only find ghostly appertains here, but do not be fooled - these mice are very much alive! Existing in multiple dimensions has it's advantages and the mice have learned to control them. These mice can swipe your cheese while still being mostly immune to your trap. It would seem that they are bound to our reality by their inherent magical aspect. Because of this weakness, your Arcane traps will be extremely effective at countering these wispy foes.

If you're looking to collect the most Garden Essences here, you'll want to dispel the Lost Curse that affects you while here. To do that, purchase a Searcher Charm from the store and catch a mouse. Simple as that! When the curse is dispelled, the Essence Collector Mouse is free to roam, and you're free to catch it and steal his cache of Garden Essences! But beware, should the Cursed Mouse show, the Lost Curse will be renewed and you'll need to use another Searcher Charm again.

Be sure to collect all the Dreamfluff Herbs you can while you're here. You'll need them to create cheese to keep hunting with!
