Description and Requirements

Hunters ranked Recruit and up can enter this location. Mice will not steal gold or points, but they have been known to steal cheese!

Hunting Strategy

Hunting tips by Larry

Welcome to the site of your Festive Ice Fortress!

Sub-zero temperatures have turned this field into a frosty icescape. An army of icy mice have taken advantage of the circumstances and are creating a Crystal Citadel to oppose the hunters of Gnawnia. You'll need to steal their supplies and build a Festive Ice Fortress of your own to challenge them!

First, collect Arctic Asiago using any cheese (good), previous years' festive cheeses (better), or SUPER|brie+ (BEST). Next, arm that Arctic Asiago and use it to hunt festive mice! They'll drop Ice Bricks which you can use to build your Festive Ice Fortress and obtain special bonuses! More importantly though, you'll attract the Frigid Foreman mouse, who carries special Tower Slabs. Use these to build stages of your Ice Tower, which you'll need to challenge the leaders of the icy mice.

Each week, a new icy leader will face you, and you'll need to build your Ice Tower higher to challenge them. Once you've built that week's stage of the Ice Tower, you can wage a snowball fight against icy mice until you finally draw out the leader and defeat them!

If you manage to defeat the week's leader early, you'll have an opportunity for some bonus-hunting: The Stuck Snowball Mouse is stuck in an ever-growing snowball and zipping around collecting loot and weight. Normally, you'll encounter him rarely, but every time you do encounter him, he'll weigh more and eventually begin dropping better and better loot! But if you defeat the week's leader early, you can repeatedly wage a snowball fight against the Stuck Snowball Mouse directly for that week. Try to be the one hunter who catches the biggest Stuck Snowball Mouse in all the land!

Get to it - go collect that Arctic Asiago, build your Ice Fortress, challenge those leaders, and capture that Stuck Snowball Mouse!
