==== A Foreboding Foreword ====
+
==== The Gloomy Greenwood Returns... ====
−
The serene soil of the Foreword Farm has been disrupted by a new and very lucrative type of plant: '''the Twisted Parable Papyrus Plant'''!
+
The harrowing hut has returned to nest in the Gloomy Greenwood for this year's Halloween celebration and with it, the spine-tingling siren song of the spooktacular Baba Gaga!
−
Twisted Parable Papyrus Plant
+
 
 +
Are you brave enough to travel back to the '''Gloomy Greenwood''', conquer her collectors, command her cauldrons, and capture the most ghoulish performer of all time?
 +
 
 +
==== Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing =====
 +
The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!
 +
 
 +
Click on either cauldron to open up Baba Gaga's '''Recipe Book''' where you'll find all the information you need to start brewing her sinister concoctions.
 +
 
 +
Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the '''Pungent Pumpkins''' that they are carrying. If you have any leftover Halloween event cheese from previous years then you can use that instead of basic bait.
 +
 
 +
Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of '''Monterey Jack-O-Lantern'''. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.
  
−
This new plant requires Crop Coins to plant but will yield even more Parable Papyrus when harvested! Open the "Manage Plots" popup in the Foreword Farm to see all the details of this valuable new plant.
+
Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to '''Scream Cheese''' in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!
  
−
However, farmers should be warned that there is something... not quite right about these new plants. There is a warning in the Gnawnian Farmer's Almanac that planting too many of these in your field may attract a new and very dangerous kind of pest to your farm!
+
When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called '''Mousedrake Root'''. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!
  
−
==== A Tale to Tell for Treasure Hunters ====
+
'''Evil Extract''' can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some brand new and extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all the available potions and what each of them can do.
−
The Cartographers throughout the Folklore Forest now sell two new scroll cases that lead to valuable treasure hidden in this storied region!

This inexpensive scroll case will unveil a treasure map that takes you on a short trip through the Foreword Farm and Prologue Pond and will result in a chest that rewards several useful items including Draft Derby Curds. This map offers a unique opportunity to save an Encyclopedia run should you end up writing longer than you anticipated and have run out of Final Draft Derby cheese. You no longer need to give up on that lucky run, just do one of these maps and you'll be able to pick right up where you left off!

This costly but lucrative scroll case will take you and your map-mates on a journey through all three locations in the Folklore Forest including having you face off against the Mythweaver! The treasure chest that you'll find at the end of that journey will contain a variety of very powerful charms including a brand new one!
+
A new, foul smelling incense from the insidious mind of Baba Gaga is an extremely useful motivational tool for anyone gathering ingredients this spooky season. This incense was designed to increase the productivity of her followers while being free to pursue other more sinister schemes. Igniting this incense will add +1 to all ingredients dropped by a mouse in the Gloomy Greenwood, including Mousedrake Root! This incense can be ignited from the Gloomy Greenwood Heads-Up Display and is available from the Reward Track and the Premium Shop.

Previously Brainstorm Chum could only be scattered if Grubbeen, Clamembert, or Stormy Clamembert Cheese was already armed. Now you can scatter your Brainstorm Chum with any cheese armed or even no cheese at all! The chum still only functions with the above-mentioned cheeses so you will now see a warning on the Heads-Up Display if you arm an incompatible cheese but you now can activate your Chum first and arm your cheese afterwards. Furthermore, if you do activate your Chum with an incompatible cheese such as Gouda or SUPER|brie+ and you accidentally take a hunt, you will '''NOT''' lose any Chum during that hunt and it will automatically deactivate itself afterwards.

In the Table of Contents, you can now choose what happens to your bait after publishing a book. You can choose between the default behaviour which is to automatically arm your standard bait of choice or you can choose to have your bait disarm completely. This way you can easily prevent valuable charms from being wasted after an Encyclopedia run ends by simply choosing to have your bait disarm automatically. Whenever you start writing a new book, you'll be presented with this option but you can also change it at any time directly from the Table of Contents Heads-Up Display.

There is More to the Story

The story of the Folklore Forest has been edited, updated, and embellished with many exciting new plot points, details, and even a brand new character!

The Gloomy Greenwood Returns...

The harrowing hut has returned to nest in the Gloomy Greenwood for this year's Halloween celebration and with it, the spine-tingling siren song of the spooktacular Baba Gaga!

Are you brave enough to travel back to the Gloomy Greenwood, conquer her collectors, command her cauldrons, and capture the most ghoulish performer of all time?

Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing =

The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!

Click on either cauldron to open up Baba Gaga's Recipe Book where you'll find all the information you need to start brewing her sinister concoctions.

Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the Pungent Pumpkins that they are carrying. If you have any leftover Halloween event cheese from previous years then you can use that instead of basic bait.

Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of Monterey Jack-O-Lantern. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.

Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to Scream Cheese in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!

When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called Mousedrake Root. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!

Evil Extract can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some brand new and extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all the available potions and what each of them can do.

Get a head start with these delicious delights!

Useful Utilities for Better Brewing

Insidious Incense

A new, foul smelling incense from the insidious mind of Baba Gaga is an extremely useful motivational tool for anyone gathering ingredients this spooky season. This incense was designed to increase the productivity of her followers while being free to pursue other more sinister schemes. Igniting this incense will add +1 to all ingredients dropped by a mouse in the Gloomy Greenwood, including Mousedrake Root! This incense can be ignited from the Gloomy Greenwood Heads-Up Display and is available from the Reward Track and the Premium Shop.
