Maps and Keys

"Map" redirects here. For other uses, see Treasure Map.

As hunters travel around the world of MouseHunt, they will occasionally find maps and keys while catching mice. These inventory items grant hunters access to new locations. The difficulty in acquiring a particular map or key depends on the difficulty of the mouse relative to their trap power. As only some mice hold them, hunters will usually need to catch at least a few before finding what they want. Some map pieces must be crafted, or purchased from a Cartographer.

In many cases, it is possible for a hunter to obtain a map piece while ranked with a lower Title that what is required to travel to the locations unlocked by that map piece.

The map pieces owned by a hunter can be found on the Map Pieces tab under the Travel section. Additionally, each Hunter's Profile includes a status of how many of the 24 map pieces a hunter owns, as one of the lists on the Items tab.

Zugzwang's Scarf

This strange scarf came out of the Dragon's Chest. Apparently, Zugzwang was serious about keeping the moths out of his clothing. The scarf is surprisingly heavy even considering it's odd construction. It doesn't seem to be a very comfortable scarf either, however, Bubbles the giant overprotective octopus seems cowed by its intangible air of power. He should let you travel to the mysterious floating island as long as you have his master's scarf in hand.

Sunken Souvenir

Word of your capture of the Zugzwang's King Mice has reached Gnawnia! I wish to congratulate you, however, we'll have to postpone celebrations.
