== Overview ==
 +
The '''Seasonal Garden''' is a location in the [[Rodentia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Lord|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.<br/>
 +
*'''Winter''' - [[Hydro]]
 +
*'''Spring''' - [[Physical]]
 +
*'''Summer''' - [[Tactical]]
 +
*'''Fall''' - [[Shadow]]
 +
 
 +
Hunters wishing to enter [[Zugzwang's Tower]] must craft the [[Zugzwang's Tower Key]] using the four '''key shards''' found as loot in the [[Seasonal Garden]].
 +
 
 +
===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|Lord or Lady]] can charge their [[Amplifier]] to '''150%'''.<br/>
 +
Hunters ranked [[Baron|Baron or Baroness]] can charge their [[Amplifier]] to '''160%'''.<br/>
 +
Hunters ranked [[Count|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.<br/>
 +
Every '''Failure To Attract''' a mouse will reduce the charge of the Hunter's [[Tower Amplifier]] by 3%.<br/>
 +
Failing to catch a mouse will have no effect on the [[Tower Amplifier]]'s charge.
  
−
The Seasonal Garden changes seasons every 80 hours. The current season is reflected on the travel map, allowing it to be monitored from outside the area.  The [[Umbrella]] collectible is also affected by the current season.
+
===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.
  
−
Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage.
+
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]'''%.''
  
−
== Shops ==
+
Mousing over the current season reveals the following message:
−
These are the shops that can be found in the Seasonal Garden:
+
:''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 ==
−
Most mice in the Seasonal Garden are in the [[Seasonal Soldiers]] group. They have a weakness to [[Tactical]] weapons, as well as another power type depending on their season. The average points and gold rewards for the mice increase from the lowest in spring to the highest in winter.  On days when the [[Relic Hunter]] can be found in the garden, catching one will increase the [[Tower Amplifier]] by 1%. However, [[M400]], [[Glitchpaw]], [[Lucky]] and [[Prize]] mice do not affect the amplifier.
+
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 {{SB}}.

The hunter has several [[Trap Setup Options for Seasonal Garden Fall]].
+
===Mice with Special Requirements===
 +
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[Seasonal Garden]] on an irregular basis and is attracted to [[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}}. 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==
 +
[[Standard Cheese]] will attract all mice found in the [[Seasonal Garden]], except the [[Spring Familiar]] and [[Fall Familiar]], which are only attracted to {{SB}}.
 +
 
 +
Each '''season''' in the [[Seasonal Garden]] provides a different group of mice to capture, with different primary weaknesses.
 +
*'''Winter''' - [[Hydro]]
 +
*'''Spring''' - [[Physical]]
 +
*'''Summer''' - [[Tactical]]
 +
*'''Fall''' - [[Shadow]]
 +
 
 +
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.<br/>
 +

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+|SUPER|brie+]] due to the low attraction rate of [[Brie]] or [[Gouda]].

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. Keep an eye out for the shards of an old key- they might provide the way into that mysterious locked tower.

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.

Hunters wishing to enter Zugzwang's Tower must craft the Zugzwang's Tower Key using the four key shards found as loot in the Seasonal Garden.

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

Hunting Strategy

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+.

Each season in the Seasonal Garden provides a different group of mice to capture, with different primary weaknesses.

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.

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%.

Hunters must craft the Zugzwang's Tower Key using the four key shards found as loot in the Seasonal Garden if they wish to enter Zugzwang's Tower.
Hunters should fully charge their Tower Amplifier if they wish to enter Zugzwang's Tower with enough charge power to capture the most challenging mice found there. Using Amplifier Charms, or the Limited Edition Chesla's Revenge Tactical weapon, increases the rate at which the Tower Amplifier is charged.

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.
