Phases

Day

This is the starting phase in Fort Rox. The Hunter can return to this phase from Night and Dawn when certain conditions are met.

The Fort can be upgraded only during Day.

The Wall can be repaired only during Day. Each Meteorite Piece repairs one damage to the Wall. Unless the quantity of Meteorite Pieces is insufficient to fully repair a Wall, it is not possible to partially repair a wall.

Hunting during Day does not affect the Wall health.

The Mage Tower can be activated, but the Healing Enchantment and Sunsphere Enchantment have no effect during Day.

The Hunter can choose to enter Night from this phase.

Night

The Hunter can enter this phase by choosing to Defend Fort from Day phase.

The Night can be divided into 5 smaller parts, each with a specific length measured in hunt. The total length of the parts is 130 hunts. Failing to catch a Nightmancer Mouse will extend the length of Night by 3 hunts. An active Mage Tower with the Sunsphere Enchantment will reduce the hunts until the end of Night by 2 after every hunt.

The sub-phases, in order, are:

  • Twilight - 35 hunt long
Weremice are abundant
Shadow traps are recommended
  • Midnight - 25 hunt long
Weremice are still the most abundant mice, but Cosmic Critter begin to appear
Shadow traps are still recommended
  • Pitch - 10 hunt long
Weremice and Cosmic Critter are found in equal measure
Arcane and Shadow traps are both effective
  • Utter Darkness - 25 hunt long
Cosmic Critter are now the most abundant mice, but Weremice may still appear
Arcane traps are recommended
  • First Light - 35 hunt long
Cosmic Critter are abundant
Arcane traps are recommended

During Night, the Wall can receive damage under certain circumstances:

  • Failure to Catch without mouse pillage (FTC) = 3 damage
  • Failure to Catch with mouse pillage (Red box FTC) = 5 damage
  • Failure to Attract (FTA) = 5 damage
  • Failure to catch Nightfire Mouse = 10 damage
  • Encountering Battering Ram Mouse = 15 damage

The damage can be reduced by Moat.

The Hunter can choose to Retreat to Day from this phase.

The Hunter will be transfered to Day if the Wall health drops to 0.

The Hunter will be transfered to Dawn if they progress though all sub-phases with their Wall not completely broken.

Dawn

The Hunter can enter this phase by progressing through the Night.

A Damage Multiplier is in effect during this phase. Each catch of the Monster of the Meteor will increase the multiplier by an additional 100%. Damage from encountering Battering Ram Mouse is not multiplied.
The damage can be reduced by Moat, but the reduction applies after the multiplier.

Catch Anger Level Damage Multiplier FTC Damage FTA/Red Box FTC Damage
0 Irritated 100% 3 5
1 Annoyed 200% 6 10
2 Vexed 300% 9 15
3 Irate 400% 12 20
4 Cross 500% 15 25
5 Angry 600% 18 30
6 Maddened 700% 21 35
7 Ranting 800% 24 40
8 Raving 900% 27 45
9 Raging 1000% 30 50
10 Fuming 1100% 33 55
11 Livid 1200% 36 60
12 Infuriated 1300% 39 65
13 Seething 1400% 42 70
14 Frenzied 1500% 45 75
15 Cheesed Off 1600% 48 80
16-49 Cheesed Off Damage multiplier continues to increase by 100%
with each Monster of the Meteor catch
and damage increases accordingly
50-99 totally cheesed off and really annoyed that you would come here and do this and it is absolutely so horrible that you would be so callous and mean and they just hate you so much and will forever remember this moment in time where you offended them so greatly! Damage multiplier continues to increase by 100%
with each Monster of the Meteor catch
and damage increases accordingly
100+ reaching powers of OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damage multiplier continues to increase by 100%
with each Monster of the Meteor catch
and damage increases accordingly

The Hunter will be transfered to Day if the Wall health drops to 0.

The Hunter can choose to enter Heart of the Meteor from this phase. Doing so will consume a Fort Rox Portal Projector and add a Ruined Portal Projector to the inventory.

Heart of the Meteor

The Hunter can enter this phase from Dawn.

The Hunter's Fort defenses have no effect in this phase. Tower Mana cannot be armed while hunting in this phase.

The Heart of the Meteor's power will be depleted with each attraction, to the point where it is a guaranteed catch on the 10th attraction.

The Hunter can choose to Retreat to Dawn from this phase.

The Hunter will be transfered to Dawn upon catching a Heart of the Meteor.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Hello there, hunter!

Welcome to Fort Rox, recently under siege thanks to the commotion caused by the fallen meteor, the citizens here need your help to fight off the mice that have begun to overrun the area.

During the day, things are a lot calmer and the mice will listen to reason, making them vulnerable to Law traps. You will also be able to use this time to build up your resources and defenses in preparation for the attack. You will need to build the Basic Wall before you will be ready to defend your fort.

The day might feel like a walk in the park, however, don't get too comfortable. At night, things start to get a little... "hairier"...

You are gonna have to do your best to hold off the assault on Varmint Valley throughout the night. The night lasts 130 hunts. As you hunt through the night, different types of mice will begin to appear. Make sure you pay attention to the time of night and adjust your trap setup accordingly.

Mice will damage your wall if you fail to capture them and some even if you do capture them! If your wall gets destroyed, you will be forced to retreat until day, where you can rebuild and try again.

Survive the night and make it to dawn where the toughest mice lie in wait!
