Overview

The Mountain is a location in the Gnawnia region requiring a minimum rank of Journeyman to enter.
Mice in the Mountain may steal points, gold, or cheese.
The Mountain contains the only Charm Shoppe where Hunters can purchase the Charm Conduit, which allows the arming of Charms.
Hunters accessing the Mountain for the first time will only have access to Physical weapons, but the mice here have a weakness to all Power Types, except the Ninja Mouse which has a weakness only to Tactical and Physical weapons.

Mice

All mice in the Mountain, except the Ninja Mouse, are from the Indigenous Mice group and are weak to all Power Types.
The Ninja Mouse is one of the Followers of Furoma and Tactical traps are very effective against it. Physical traps are of normal effectiveness. All other Power Types are ineffective.

Cheese Preference and Loot

Standard Cheese attracts most mice in the Mountain.
White Cheddar Cheese will reduce the mouse population by repelling the Brown, Grey, and White mice.
SUPER|brie+ will attract all mice in the Mountain.
Prospector's Charms increase the attraction rate of Gold, Diamond, and (with SUPER|brie+ armed) Silvertail mice.

Mice with Special Requirements

• Relic Hunter Mouse – This mouse visits the Mountain on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. 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.
• M400 – This mouse will sometimes be available in the Mountain 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

Mice in the Mountain are attracted to Standard Cheeses.
All mice in the Mountain are weak to all Power Types except the Ninja Mouse, which has a weakness only to Tactical, and Physical weapons.
Hunters who reach the Rank of Master will be able to travel to the Great Gnarled Tree, Laboratory, Mousoleum, and Town of Digby, provided they have the appropriate Maps and Keys.
Hunters will need to loot the Laboratory Map Piece from a Ninja Mouse to be able to travel to the Laboratory and Toxic Spill locations. The Toxic Spill location also require Hunters to be ranked Hero or higher..

Hunting tips by Larry

Welcome, Mousehunter! You’re about to discover the stunning vistas and treacherous terrain of... The Mountain!

The Gold and Diamond mice found here are worth a handsome amount of gold and points. Extra income means that you may now be able to afford more expensive cheeses and more powerful traps. Don’t be afraid to head back to town and upgrade your trap and cheese if you have problems attracting or catching mice. You’ve earned it!

I should also warn you that a mysterious Ninja mouse has traveled to the Mountain from the North, carrying a piece of the map. Should you find this rare Ninja and acquire the map piece, it will unlock a new hunting location to the north!
