So this is what happened to the Lost City! It's become deeply cursed, with terrible and powerful mice living within and taking the safety of everyone around them into their own careless hands!

Overview

The Cursed City is a location in the Sandtail Desert region requiring a minimum rank of Baron/Baroness, the Living Garden Key, and capturing Carmine the Apothecary in the Living Garden to enter. The Living Garden Key is obtained from the Cartographer at the Muridae Market.

Mice in the Cursed City are weak only to Arcane weapons.

Graveblossom Camembert is required for attracting all mice in the Cursed City. Hunters must use Bravery Charms, Clarity Charms, and Shine Charms and play the Fear, Darkness and Mist Curses Minigame to attract the Essence Guardian Mouse.

Hunters must collect Plumepearl Herbs to use in purchasing Lunaria Camembert. Lunaria Camembert is required for attracting Twisted Carmine, and with a Shattering Charm armed, Shattered Carmine in the Twisted Garden.

Accessing the Twisted World

The Twisted World locations of Twisted Garden, Cursed City, and Sand Crypts can only be accessed by capturing Carmine the Apothecary with Duskshade Camembert in the Living Garden. Capturing Carmine the Apothecary will move the Hunter to the Twisted Garden and the following message is displayed:

On catching Carmine the Apothecary, a light flashes and a spell she had prepared in advance erupts! Nightmarish tendrils of dark smoke burst from the ground around me, and before I knew it the world had changed before my very eyes into a wild and twisted version of itself.
I can feel this world itself attempting to reject me and send me back, but I must stay as long as I am able to find out what Carmine is doing in this hidden, dark place.

Hunting with any cheese other than Graveblossom Camembert in the Cursed City will cause Hunters to be moved to the Lost City and the following message will be displayed:

Almost as if an illusion suddenly shattered, the world around me snaps back to normal. Using X Cheese has brought me back to the normal world.

If an M400 Hunting Research Assignment requires capturing the M400 in the Cursed City, Hunters can encounter, but will be dropped to normal reality for hunting with the wrong cheese.

The Living Garden Sequence

Hunters will need to hunt the areas in the Living Garden sub-region in a specific order. The following steps outline the basic requirements for accessing and hunting in each location. Additional information on minigames and other activities can be found on the individual location pages.

The steps of the cycle that can be completed in the Cursed City location are highlighted in bold.

Step 1: Living Garden

Step 1a: Hunt with Standard Cheese in the Living Garden to collect Dewthief Petals.

Step 1b: Use Dewthief Petals to purchase Dewthief Camembert.

Step 2: Lost City and Sand Dunes - steps a and b can be done in any order.

Step 2a: Hunt with Dewthief Camembert in the Lost City to collect Dreamfluff Herbs.

Step 2b: Hunt with Dewthief Camembert in the Sand Dunes to collect Duskshade Petals.

Step 2c: Use Dreamfluff Herbs and Duskshade Petals to purchase Duskshade Camembert.

Step 3: Living Garden

Step 3b: Capture Carmine the Apothecary to open the Twisted World and travel to the Twisted Garden.

Step 4: Twisted Garden

Step 4a: Hunt with Duskshade Camembert in the Twisted Garden to collect Graveblossom Petals.

Step 4b: Use Graveblossom Petals to purchase Graveblossom Camembert.

Cursed City HUD

Hunters can access and track the following using the Heads-Up Display:

Fear, Darkness and Mist Curses Minigame

The mechanism for this minigame is similar to that of the Lost Curse Minigame. There are three curses to dispel in this location:

Fear Curse: - Dispelled by catching a mouse with Bravery Charms armed
Mist Curse: - Dispelled by catching a mouse with Clarity Charms armed
Darkness Curse: - Dispelled by catching a mouse with Shine Charms armed

All three curses must be dispelled for Hunters to encounter the Essence Guardian Mouse and, with a Shattering Charm armed, the Dark Magi Mouse.

When all three curses are lifted, the Corrupt Mouse cannot be encountered for the first three hunts. When all three curses are lifted and a Shattering Charm is armed, the Corrupt Mouse cannot be encountered for the first five hunts.

Upon catching a mouse with any of the 3 charms armed, the following message is displayed in the Hunter's Journal:

The power of my [Charm] dispelled the [Curse], banishing the mists from the Cursed City!
I should unequip my [Charms] and save them for later.

The minigame will end once the hunter attracts a Corrupt Mouse, whether or not it is caught. At that point the following message will be displayed:

The terrible power of the Corrupt Mouse re-ignited all of the curses in the Cursed City!

When the curses have been lifted, Hunters can arm Safeguard Charms to prevent the attraction of the Corrupt Mouse and prolong the time the curses remain dispelled.

When the curses have been lifted, a hunter can arm a Shattering Charm to change the population to just Corrupt and Dark Magi mice, instead of the normal pursuit of Essence Guardians.

Lost City Mice

All mice found in the Lost City are part of the Lost City Mice group.
All mice found here are weak only to Arcane weapons.

Cursed Mouse

Capturing the Cursed Mouse will restore the Lost City Curse in the Lost Curse Minigame. This mouse will not be encountered for the 3 hunts immediately after the curse is lifted.
Safeguard Charms can be armed to prevent the attraction of the Cursed Mouse.

Essence Collector Mouse

Hunters wishing to attract the Essence Collector Mouse must lift the Lost City Curse as part of the Lost Curse Minigame.

Cheese Preferences and Loot

Dewthief Camembert is required to attract all mice in the Lost City.

Mouse	Points	Gold	Loot
Cursed Avoids Safeguard Charms	6,500	1,250
Essence Collector Requires Lifted Curse	22,500	4,250	Ber Essence Cynd Essence Dreamfluff Herbs

Ethereal Librarian	14,500	1,850	Aleth Essence Ber Essence Cynd Essence Dreamfluff Herbs

Mice with Special Requirements

M400 – This mouse will sometimes be available in the Lost City 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.

Hunting Strategy

Hunters should arm Dewthief Camembert to collect Dreamfluff Herbs from the mice found in the Lost City. Hunters can then use Dreamfluff Herbs (along with Duskshade Petals) to purchase Duskshade Camembert.

Hunters can then return to the Living Garden and arm Duskshade Camembert to capture Carmine the Apothecary which opens the Twisted World and causes Hunters to travel to the Twisted Garden.

Hunters wishing to attract the Essence Guardian Mouse must play the Lost Curse Minigame, which requires using Searcher Charms.

Location-Specific Effects

Bases

Hothouse Base - Limited Edition - Doubles the range of Dreamfluff Herbs dropped by mice in the Lost City.
Living Base - Doubles the range of Dreamfluff Herbs dropped by mice in the Lost City.

Charms

Searcher Charm: Catching a mouse with this charm armed will dispel the Lost City Curse in the Lost Curse Minigame. Lifting the curse allows the Essence Collector Mouse to be attracted. Lifting the curse also prevents attraction of the Cursed Mouse for three hunts.
Safeguard Charms repel the Cursed Mouse.

Adventure Book

Hunters can complete steps to Defeat Twisted Carmine by hunting with Dewthief Camembert in the Lost City.

Library Assignments

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!
