Spread joy and holiday cheer and decorate the Kingdom in a Festive Turbine-Powered Sleigh Ride!
  
−
:::A meteor has crashed into Varmint Valley, transforming the mice!
+
====The Great Winter Hunt Impostor====
 +
A troublesome mouse is masquerading as a certain jolly fellow, going house to house to steal gifts and tear down decor! The antics of this pesky mouse has been dampening everyone's holiday spirit and the King needs your help to track down this villain, restore the decor, and transform the Kingdom back into a Winter Wonderland!
  
−
====Fort Rox Defensive Position====
+
Larry and the King have just the right tool to help hunters transform the Kingdom into a wonderland: A high-powered sleigh pulled by a Twin Temporal Turbine* engine, complete with the magical ability to fly! Take to the air in this magic sleigh to transform the ground below into a Winter Wonderland!
−
The eerily glowing moon signals atop the Spooky Sandcastle have pulled a massive meteor towards Gnawnia! The otherworldly chunk of rock has crashed into Varmint Valley, just south of the Gnawnian Express Station.
 
  
−
The cosmic radiation from the glowing chunk of space rock has had a profound effect on the local mice -- they're transforming into powerful weremice at night! The King needs the help of Baron/Baroness (and up) hunters to setup a defensive grid between the meteorite and the rest of Varmint Valley. Get ready to embark on a lycan-slaying, mutant-hunting endeavour, hunters!
+
The sleigh's magical ability to fly is powered by joy and holiday cheer, something that's in short supply at the moment. Before you can take to the sky, you'll need to spread some good cheer by wrapping gifts for the citizens of Gnawnia.
  
−
There's a new adventure available that starts with obtaining the Fort Rox Battle Summons from the Claw Shot City Cartographer. Head there with some Fool's Gold to get started!
+
''*NOTE: Twin Temporal Turbine engine cannot be dismantled.''
  
−
====Building Your First Wall====
+
====Wrap Gifts and Spread Joy and Holiday Cheer====
−
The first line of defense you'll build is a basic wall made of sturdy Meteorite Pieces. Fortunately, the mice in Fort Rox seem to be adept at mining and have been spotted carrying massive quantities of Meteorite Pieces around the area. Setup your trap with a Law power type weapon and Brie, Gouda, or SUPER|brie+ to start hunting these meteorite-dropping mice!
+
To lift the spirits of the citizens of Gnawnia and power your sleigh's ability to fly, you must wrap gifts by recovering special items from mice throughout various zones at the Great Winter Hunt. The heads-up display will show what gift items are currently at the top of everyone's wish list.
  
−
Keep an eye out for the Mining Materials Manager Mouse -- this mouse drops the most Meteorite Pieces of all! You'll encounter this mouse most often by using SUPER|brie+.
+
Each hunt you take where you encounter a mouse will move your sleigh forward through the snow to explore various zones within the Great Winter Hunt. The mice you encounter and the loot you find will change depending on which zone you're currently exploring.
  
−
You can push your meteroite gathering to the extreme by building a Mage Tower at Fort Rox. The tower can be activated by burning Tower Mana each hunt to DOUBLE all your Meteorite Piece loot drops!
+
You can speed up your sleigh by using Sleigh Nitro and slow it down by using any type of anchor charm, including a new Festive Anchor Charm that also attracts the Snowflake Mouse who carries special loot. These charms also work in the Sunken City and Balack's Cove!
  
−
*'''75 SUPER|brie+'''
+
Hunt with any festive-themed cheese to attract mice that drop gifts, however, Arctic Asiago has a near-perfect attraction rate and will bring around the best gift-dropping mice!
−
:Attracts better mice!
 
−
*'''50 Tower Mana'''
 
−
:Doubles loot drops!
 
  
−
====Hunting at Night====
+
'''Toy Lot'''<br/>
−
Once your defenses are prepared, click the "Defend Fort" button on the HUD to indicate you're prepared for the coming night. When night falls, the relatively normal mice change from mild-mannered miners to enraged Weremice!
+
While exploring the Toy Lot, you'll find Simple Toy Tops from mice and occasionally Deluxe Toy Blocks.
  
−
Each hunt you take during night will bring you closer to dawn. When night first falls, you'll encounter Weremice that are weak to Shadow traps, however, as dawn approaches, more Cosmic Critter mice will appear that are primarily week to Arcane traps. The Fort Fox HUD will help you spot when it's time to change your setup.
+
'''Toy Emporium'''<br/>
 +
This zone is bursting with toys! You'll find tops and blocks most often while exploring this zone.
  
−
During night, it's best to use one of two lunar-themed cheeses to lure the Weremice and Cosmic Critters towards your trap and away from your wall. If you fail to attract or fail to capture a mouse, it will slip past your trap and assault your wall, causing damage.
+
'''Decorative Oasis'''<br/>
 +
While exploring the Decorative Oasis you'll find Simple Tree Ornaments from mice and occasionally Deluxe Tree Ornaments.
  
−
'''Crescent Cheese'''<br/>
+
'''Tinsel Forest'''<br/>
−
Crescent cheese is crafted by combining three Meteorite Pieces and three Curds and Whey. It has an attraction rate slightly better than Gouda during night and will lure a few more mice that drop valuable resources and loot.
+
Decorations as far as the eye can see! You'll find simple and deluxe ornaments most often while exploring this zone.
  
−
'''Moon Cheese'''<br/>
+
'''Bunny Hills'''<br/>
−
Moon Cheese is crafted by combining one Meteorite Piece, three Curds and Whey, and two Magic Essence. It has a near-perfect attraction rate during night and will lure more mice that drop valuable resources and loot!
+
While exploring the Bunny Hills you'll find Simple Pairs of Skis and occasionally Deluxe Riding Sleds.
  
−
*'''100 Moon Cheese'''
+
'''Frosty Mountains'''<br/>
−
:Avoid the Battering Ram Mouse!
+
Amongst the steep slopes and hairpin turns you'll find skis and sleds most often while exploring this zone.
−
*'''250 Moon Cheese'''
 
−
:Collect more loot!
 
  
−
'''Other Cheeses and the Battering Ram Mouse'''<br/>
+
'''Winter Wasteland'''<br/>
−
Lurking throughout the night is the fearsome Battering Ram Mouse. This mouse has been specially-trained by being constantly exposed to light from the moon in order to keep him in his enraged state. At night, when the moon is out, this mouse will charge headlong towards your fort, unimpeded by traps, and will always cause damage to your wall even if captured!
+
These relatively barren wastelands are not much more than snow drifts and pretty drab. You won't find gift items very often while exploring these zones.
  
−
However, if you use Crescent or Moon Cheese, the presence of two sources of moonlight will confuse this mouse and send him into a blind, uncontrollable rage, causing him to flee from the battlefield altogether, screaming incoherently.
+
'''Snowball Storm'''<br/>
 +
Take cover! This zone has some of the toughest mice in the Great Winter Hunt, making it difficult to navigate. You'll find Throwable Snowballs as loot while exploring this zone, however, you won't find any gift items.
  
−
====Upgrading your Fort====
+
*'''15 Arctic Asiago Cheese'''
−
*'''Wall'''
+
:Find gifts as loot
−
:Upgrading your wall will increase its health, allowing your wall to withstand more damage during night!
+
*'''100 Arctic Asiago Cheese'''
 +
:Stock up!
 +
*'''15 Sleigh Nitro'''
 +
:Speed boost!
 +
*'''15 Festive Anchor Charms'''
 +
:Anchor down!
  
−
*'''Moat'''
+
====Decorating the Kingdom from the Air====
−
:The moat will reduce the damage your wall takes when failing to capture or failing to attract a mouse.
+
Once you've wrapped 10 gifts, click the "Take Flight" button on the heads-up display and have your sleigh take to the air! While flying, watch as your sleigh transforms the ground below into a magical winter wonderland! How beautiful and heart-warming!
  
−
*'''Ballista'''
+
Your sleigh will have enough joy to remain in flight for 20 hunts, so keep your sleigh moving through the air as quickly as possible to cover as much ground as you can!
−
:The Ballista specifically targets Weremice, Shadow type mice found in the early parts of the night. As you upgrade the Ballista, it will gain more specialized abilities to help capture Weremice.
 
  
−
*'''Cannon'''
+
While cruising through the winter sky you'll also find the Great Winter Impostor Mouse himself! Capturing the impostor will spread joy and holiday cheer and extend your flight time by two hunts!
−
:The Cannon specifically targets Cosmic Critters, Arcane type mice that are found as you get closer to dawn. As you upgrade your Cannon, it will gain more specialized abilities to help survive the night and make it to dawn.
 
  
−
*'''Mage Tower'''
+
Although any bait will attract festive mice while your sleigh is airborne, the chilly scent of Arctic Asiago will bring around festive mice most often, including the Great Winter Hunt Impostor.
−
The Mage Tower is an especially powerful upgrade that has a variety of effects that work both during day and night! The Mage Tower is activated by clicking a button on the HUD. While active, the tower burns 1 Tower Mana each hunt and will cast a variety of spells to boost your hunting!
 
  
−
As you upgrade and enchant your Mage Tower, it will double certain loot drops, instantly capture mice, heal your wall, and even speed up the night!
+
While airborne, Festive Anchor Charms will have nothing to grip onto and as a result, no longer slow down your sleigh. However, most festive charms will still attract the Snowflake Mouse to find special loot drops!
  
−
*'''50 Tower Mana'''
+
When your sleigh returns to the snowy surface, you'll be back where you left off, ready to recover more gifts and spread more joy and holiday cheer so you can take flight again!
−
:Double loot drops!
 
−
*'''150 Tower Mana'''
 
−
:Domination!
 
  
−
====Surviving until Dawn====
+
*'''100 Sleigh Nitro'''
−
Once you've upgraded your fort, your defenses should be able to hold back the mice and allow your wall to remain standing when dawn arrives. The rising light summons two more big, bad mice to assault the fort in an epic final showdown: The Dawn Guardian and the Monster of the Meteor.
+
:Speed boost!
 +
*'''300 Sleigh Nitro'''
 +
:Maximum speed!
 +
*'''300 Arctic Asiago Cheese'''
 +
:More event mice!
 +
*'''15 Winter Charms'''
 +
:Find Snowflake Mice
  
−
During dawn, your wall will still take normal damage when failing to capture these mice. However, each time you defeat the Monster of the Meteor, it will enrage him and his company of guards, causing them all to inflict more damage should you fail to capture them.
+
====Festive Rewards====
 +
Larry has a variety of festive rewards for hunters who have flown great lengths above the skies of Gnawnia and have transformed the Kingdom into a Winter Wonderland. The further you spread joy and holiday cheer, the more rewards you'll unlock!
  
−
The Monster of the Meteor has a chance to drop the most valuable loot found during night -- Silver Bolts and an Animatronic Bird! These strange items can be exchanged at the Fort Rox Trapsmith for a powerful Shadow and Arcane trap, respectively. You can also sell these items on the Marketplace or sell Silver Bolts directly to the General Store for gold.

Great Winter Hunt

13 December 2016

Spread joy and holiday cheer and decorate the Kingdom in a Festive Turbine-Powered Sleigh Ride!

The Great Winter Hunt Impostor

A troublesome mouse is masquerading as a certain jolly fellow, going house to house to steal gifts and tear down decor! The antics of this pesky mouse has been dampening everyone's holiday spirit and the King needs your help to track down this villain, restore the decor, and transform the Kingdom back into a Winter Wonderland!

Larry and the King have just the right tool to help hunters transform the Kingdom into a wonderland: A high-powered sleigh pulled by a Twin Temporal Turbine* engine, complete with the magical ability to fly! Take to the air in this magic sleigh to transform the ground below into a Winter Wonderland!

The sleigh's magical ability to fly is powered by joy and holiday cheer, something that's in short supply at the moment. Before you can take to the sky, you'll need to spread some good cheer by wrapping gifts for the citizens of Gnawnia.

*NOTE: Twin Temporal Turbine engine cannot be dismantled.

Wrap Gifts and Spread Joy and Holiday Cheer

To lift the spirits of the citizens of Gnawnia and power your sleigh's ability to fly, you must wrap gifts by recovering special items from mice throughout various zones at the Great Winter Hunt. The heads-up display will show what gift items are currently at the top of everyone's wish list.

Each hunt you take where you encounter a mouse will move your sleigh forward through the snow to explore various zones within the Great Winter Hunt. The mice you encounter and the loot you find will change depending on which zone you're currently exploring.

You can speed up your sleigh by using Sleigh Nitro and slow it down by using any type of anchor charm, including a new Festive Anchor Charm that also attracts the Snowflake Mouse who carries special loot. These charms also work in the Sunken City and Balack's Cove!

Hunt with any festive-themed cheese to attract mice that drop gifts, however, Arctic Asiago has a near-perfect attraction rate and will bring around the best gift-dropping mice!

Toy Lot
While exploring the Toy Lot, you'll find Simple Toy Tops from mice and occasionally Deluxe Toy Blocks.

This zone is bursting with toys! You'll find tops and blocks most often while exploring this zone.

While airborne, Festive Anchor Charms will have nothing to grip onto and as a result, no longer slow down your sleigh. However, most festive charms will still attract the Snowflake Mouse to find special loot drops!
