Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

The tower consists of an array of chambers separated by impenetrable walls. The only way to move throughout the tower is to pass through the various portals that present themselves within the chambers.

Each chamber is filled with precious loot that the mice themselves are trying to collect in order to fashion a way of escape. Once a chamber has been emptied of its loot, look for a portal to be opened by the mice looking to escape into another more prosperous room.

You will need to find the Ancient Lab and Runic Laboratory chambers to obtain powerful potions that can be used to turn your String Cheese into a more preferred flavour to attract the obscure and powerful mice within the many special chambers of this Rift.

Once you have accumulated some Runic String Cheese, you can attempt to enter the Timewarp Chamber and acquire an Ancient Hourglass. Once obtained, you can then collect valuable Time Sand which will allow you to find the Acolyte Chamber and challenge the fearsome mouse itself.

There is also a plethora of special chambers that offer difficult challenges and unique abilities as well as powerful curses that will hinder your progress. Many great treasures await, so good luck and happy hunting!

Just... try not to lose too much time...
