==== The Folklore Forest Finale has begun! ====
+
==== The Gloomy Greenwood Returns ====
−
Thanks to the tireless efforts from hunters over the last several years, the Mythweaver's final plan has been deciphered. It involves two new, recently discovered areas in the Folklore Forest: the '''Afterword Acres''' and the '''Epilogue Falls!'''
+
Celebrate the spookiest season with boiling cauldrons!
  
−
The King is calling upon all hunters ranked '''Viceroy''' and above to venture into these mysterious new locations and gather the resources they will need to put a stop to the Mythweaver once and for all.

 +
Baba Gaga and her chicken-legged hut have returned to the Gloomy Greenwood with '''FIVE''' brand new and powerful potions to be discovered!
 +
</div></div>
  
−
==== The End Begins Here ====
+
==== Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing ====
−
If you haven't already earned the '''Mythweaver's Guide to World Domination''' then visit the '''Draconic Depths Cartographer''' to purchase it for 2,000 Dragon's Breath Opals and 1,000,000 Gold.
+
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!
  
−
Owning this book will unlock access to the Afterword Acres and Epilogue Falls.
 
  
−
==== Fight the Blight and Save the Infinitree ====
+
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.
  
−
Your adventure begins in the '''Afterword Acres''' where you must take on the daunting task of fending off the terrible blight that has gripped that once fertile land.
 
  
−
Use your trusty droids to harvest '''Literary Logs''' from the Infinitree and then carve them into '''Poetic Planks'''.
+
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.
  
−
Be warned that an invasive species has taken over that place so you'll need to fight them off and reduce their terrible blight in order to make your droids more efficient.
 
  
−
Arm your best '''Tactical''' trap and venture into the woods!
+
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.

'''Start Your Adventure Here'''
 
−
</div>
 
  
−
==== Ride the Rapids and Defeat the Falls Guardian ====
+
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!
−
Use the Poetic Planks you carved in the Afterword Acres to build barrels for riding the rapids in the '''Epilogue Falls'''!
 
  
−
These rushing waters are teeming with useful loot but also dangerous, aquatic mice so arm your best '''Hydro''' trap before embarking.
 
  
−
Battle against the forceful currents to reach the waterfall at the end where a powerful guardian awaits you!
+
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!

'''Continue Your Adventure Here'''

−
==== Unravel the Mythweaver's Plot ====
+
'''Evil Extract''' can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some 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 of the available potions and what each of them can do.
−
The King's best folklore scholars are still trying to find the Mythweaver's exact whereabouts but so far they've been able to determine one very important clue: the Mythweaver's minions will have a taste for '''Plotting Paneer Cheese'''.
 
  
−
'''Plot Hooks''' are the key ingredient to making this devious delicacy and they can be found floating near the waterfall at the Epilogue Falls.
+

<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Get a head start with these delicious delights!'''</div></div>
−
Therefore, the scholars are recommending that hunters begin collecting Plot Hooks in anticipation of their eventual discovery of a third, upcoming location known as the '''Conclusion Cliffs'''.

==== Baba Gaga's Boon ====
 +
 +
Upon brewing 40 batches of Evil Extract and reaching the end of the Reward Track, ''Baba Gaga's Boon'' will become active in the Gloomy Greenwood!
 +
 +
While hunting with Baba Gaga's evil enchantment in effect, mice will occasionally drop a random assortment of exciting and new potions, but most especially the '''Brewer's Boon Potion'''!
 +
 +
==== Useful Utilities for Better Brewing ====

<div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

<div style="font-size: 115%">'''Insidious Incense'''</div></div>
 +
A 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 cheese-brewing ingredients dropped by a mouse in the Gloomy Greenwood, and will '''DOUBLE the quantity of Mousedrake Root drops!''' This incense can be ignited from the Gloomy Greenwood Heads-Up Display and is available from the Reward Track and the Premium Shop.

MASTER THE MAGIC OF THE BOILING CAULDRONS

15 Oct 2025

Halloween has begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Travel to the Gloomy Greenwood and put a stop to Baba Gaga!

The Gloomy Greenwood Returns

Celebrate the spookiest season with boiling cauldrons!

Baba Gaga and her chicken-legged hut have returned to the Gloomy Greenwood with FIVE brand new and powerful potions to be discovered!

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.


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 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 of the available potions and what each of them can do.

Get a head start with these delicious delights!

While hunting with Baba Gaga's evil enchantment in effect, mice will occasionally drop a random assortment of exciting and new potions, but most especially the Brewer's Boon Potion!

Useful Utilities for Better Brewing

Insidious Incense

A 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 cheese-brewing ingredients dropped by a mouse in the Gloomy Greenwood, and will DOUBLE the quantity of Mousedrake Root drops! This incense can be ignited from the Gloomy Greenwood Heads-Up Display and is available from the Reward Track and the Premium Shop.
