Entrance

Hunters encounter the Entrance when first arriving in the TW George and when returned there after capturing an Absolute Acolyte in the Acolyte Chamber.

Hunters are presented with a single Portal and entering it will transport them to a Gearworks chamber.

Mice

Because Hunters are moved to the Entrance upon capturing an Absolute Acolyte, Runic String Cheese will attract all mice here, but its use (and the use of Ancient String Cheese) is not recommended since it has necessary special attraction effects in other Chambers.

Gearworks

The Gearworks is the first chamber that Hunters will encounter when selecting the single Portal available at the Entrance. This chamber will also appear randomly as Hunters attempt to locate the Acolyte Chamber.. Mice here will mainly drop Tiny Sprockets as loot.

There are a total of 25 pieces of Rift loot available from mice in the Gearworks. Every Rift item dropped as loot by the mice in the Gearworks will reduce the loot meter. When the loot meter reaches zero a new selection of Portals will become available and mice will stop dropping Rift items as loot.

Mice

Capturing a Chamber Cleaver will open a new set of Portals, allowing Hunters to leave the Gearworks before depleting the available Rift loot. Other mice will continue to drop Rift items until the loot meter is reduced to zero.

• At 17-25 loot: The Chamber is too cramped for the Chamber Cleaver Mouse to come around.
• At 16 and fewer loot: The Chamber Cleaver Mouse is available to catch with Runic String Cheese!

Acolyte Chamber

This chamber contains the Absolute Acolyte. Hunters must have Time Sand in their inventory before this chamber will appear. The chamber will appear more frequently with higher inventories of Time Sand.

Hunters must charge the Timesplit Obelisk by capturing mice. Each hunt consumes 1 Time Sand from the Hunter's inventory and adds one Time Sand to the Absolute Acolyte's inventory.
When the Timesplit Obelisk reaches a 100% charge the Absolute Acolyte will stop accumulating Time Sand and is released but cannot be captured. Each hunt will now consume 1 Time Sand from both the Hunter and the Absolute Acolyte.
When the Absolute Acolyte's Time Sand reaches zero it can be captured.
If the Hunter's Time Sand reaches zero they will be removed to a Gearworks. Hunters must then gather more Time Sand before they will be able to find and enter this chamber.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

The tower consists of an array of chambers separated by impenetrable walls. The only way to move throughout the tower is to pass through the various portals that present themselves within the chambers.

Each chamber is filled with precious loot that the mice themselves are trying to collect in order to fashion a way of escape. Once a chamber has been emptied of its loot, look for a portal to be opened by the mice looking to escape into another more prosperous room.

You will need to find the Ancient Lab and Runic Laboratory chambers to obtain powerful potions that can be used to turn your String Cheese into a more preferred flavour to attract the obscure and powerful mice within the many special chambers of this Rift.

Once you have accumulated some Runic String Cheese, you can attempt to enter the Timewarp Chamber and acquire an Ancient Hourglass. Once obtained, you can then collect valuable Time Sand which will allow you to find the Acolyte Chamber and challenge the fearsome mouse itself.

There is also a plethora of special chambers that offer difficult challenges and unique abilities as well as powerful curses that will hinder your progress. Many great treasures await, so good luck and happy hunting!

Just... try not to lose too much time...
