Hunting Strategy

Hunting tips by Larry

Be careful here, hunters! These plains can be quite a pain!

Here you will find a vast, open region of cacti growing an assortment of flavourful spices. The mice here have evolved to safely pick the spices from the dangerous plants in order to blend them with queso. They find this combination appealing as the Bland Queso absorbs the flavour of the spices so well.

Combining various spices with Bland Queso will create a more desirable, spicier cheese that will attract the stronger mice within Queso Canyon.

Start with Bland Queso to attract the base level of Spice Mice and collect the Mild Spice Leaves that they drop. Combine these spicy leaves with Bland Queso to increase its spice level and you'll be greeted with even spicier Spice Mice!

Good luck and drink plenty of milk!
