| Zugzwang's seasonal garden is the perfect destination for those who can't make up their mind about the weather. Every few days, the seasons shift, bringing with them a new crop of mice with different powers.

Overview
The Seasonal Garden is a location in the Rodentia region requiring a minimum rank of Lord or Lady and Zugzwang's Scarf to enter. Zugzwang's Scarf can be obtained from a Dragon's Chest or as loot from Icewing.
The mice available in the Seasonal Garden are determined by the current season. Seasons change every 80 hours and the current season is reflected in the image shown on the Travel page.
The mice found during each season have a different primary Power Type as their weakness, but all mice found in the Seasonal Garden have some weakness to Tactical weapons.
Tower Amplifier
Catching mice in the Seasonal Garden charges the Hunter's Tower Amplifier. A fully charged Tower Amplifier is necessary for Hunters to have the best chance of capturing the most powerful mice found in Zugzwang's Tower. Hunters can travel to Zugzwang's Tower with an Amplifier that is not fully charge, but this will reduce the likelihood of catching the strongest mice found in that location.
Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage. However, Hunters will lose all their Tower Amplifier charge if they leave Zugzwang's Tower.
Charging the Tower Amplifier
Hunters ranked Lord or Lady can charge their Amplifier to 150%.
Hunters ranked Baron or Baroness can charge their Amplifier to 160%.
Hunters ranked Count or Countess and above can charge their Amplifier to 175%.
Every catch of a mouse in the Seasonal Garden will charge the Hunter's Tower Amplifier from 1% to 6%, depending on the mouse captured.
Every Failure To Attract a mouse will reduce the charge of the Hunter's Tower Amplifier by 3%.
Failing to catch a mouse will have no effect on the Tower Amplifier's charge.
Seasonal Garden HUD
The Seasonal Garden Heads-Up Display shows the current season, the maximum charge available to the Hunter, and the current level of charge as both a percentage and as a status bar.
Mousing over the Tower Amplifier reveals the following message:
- Your Tower Amplifier boosts your trap's power inside Zugzwang's Tower. Catching a mouse in the Garden raises the Amplifier's charge, while failing to attract lowers it.
- Your amplifier will max out at [X]%.
Mousing over the current season reveals the following message:
- The season and the types of mice you can catch in the garden change every few days, so be sure to check back often!
Seasonal Garden Mice
The mice found in the Seasonal Garden are all part of the Seasonal Soldiers group. All mice found here have some degree of weakness to Tactical weapons, but the season during which the mice are encountered determines the primary Power Type weakness.
Standard Cheese will attract all mice found in the Seasonal Garden, except the Spring Familiar and Fall Familiar which are only attracted to SUPER|brie+.

Mice with Special Requirements
- Relic Hunter Mouse – This mouse visits the Seasonal Garden on an irregular basis and is attracted to Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+. Hunters must have an Ancient Relic in their inventory to attract this mouse. The Ancient Relic will be taken by the Relic Hunter Mouse in exchange for a Relic Hunter Scroll Case.
- Catching a Relic Hunter Mouse will increase the Tower Amplifier by 1%.
- M400 – This mouse will sometimes be available in the Seasonal Garden when Hunters are actively working an M400 Hunting Research Assignment. It is attracted only to Fusion Fondue which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.
- Catching the M400 will have no effect on the Tower Amplifier.
- Catching a Glitchpaw or Lucky Mouse in the Seasonal Garden will have no effect on the Tower Amplifier.
Hunting Strategy
Cheese Usage
Standard cheese works in this area, but each time bait fails to attract a mouse, the Tower Amplifier is reduced by 3%, so many hunters prefer to use SUPER|brie+ due to the low attraction rate of Brie or Gouda. Hunters looking for Spring Familiar or Fall Familiar should equip SUPER|brie+ to increase the chance of encountering these two mice.
Use of Amplifier Charms, or the Limited Edition Chesla's Revenge weapon, increase the rate at which the tower amplifier is increased.
Adventure Book
Hunters can complete steps to Capture the Mystic and Technic Kings by crafting Zugzwang's Tower Key.
Library Assignments
- Zugzwang Research - These assignments require Hunters to complete tasks in the Seasonal Garden.
- Advanced Zugzwang Research - These assignments require Hunters to complete tasks in the Seasonal Garden.
- M400 Hunting Research Assignment - This assignment may require collecting 1 Piece of M400 Intel from mice in the Seasonal Garden and/or capturing the M400.
Tournaments
Seasonal Garden mice are worth points during some Tournaments.
Treasure Maps
Mice in the Seasonal Garden are often found on Relic Hunter Treasure Maps.
Hunting Tips by Larry
Welcome to the Seasonal Garden, MouseHunter!
I hope you brought a change of clothes with you, because the seasons around here shift every few days, bringing new weather, and new mice to trap.
If you're looking for a good general strategy, a tactical trap will perform well in any season. Most seasons also have another, secret weakness for Hunters to discover on their own, so experiment with different trap setups, and see what works. Be sure to keep an eye out for shards of the key to Zugzwang's Tower, as well- there's one shard hidden in every season.
As you catch mice in the garden, your Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause your Tower Amplifier to decrease.
When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to get a full charge before going in, because if you leave the tower, your amplifier will reset to zero.
Banner Tips
The Season and the types of mice you can catch in the garden change every few days, so be sure to check back often!
Your Tower Amplifier boosts your trap's power inside Zugzwang's Tower. Catching a mouse in the Garden raises the Amplifier's charge, while failing to attract lowers it.
