Named by the tribes, this dangerous jungle is home to some of the most terrifying mice ever discovered. Long ago the leaders of the tribes discovered a spicy cheese made with peppers capable of distracting the mighty beasts of the jungle. This peppered bait may be the key to luring these mice to a trap... |
Overview
The Jungle of Dread is a location in the Tribal Isles region requiring a minimum rank of Hero and the Ocean Navigation Kit to enter.
Mice in this location may steal points or gold, but not multiple pieces of cheese, if not captured.
Hunters who are washed out of Balack's Cove by the High Tide will be moved to the Jungle of Dread.
Hunting with Havarti Cheese
Hunters must acquire Pepper Seeds from the mice in the Derr Dunes, Elub Shore, and Nerg Plains in order to craft the Havarti Cheeses required to catch most mice in the Jungle of Dread.
Hunting with Havarti Cheeses will reward Hunters with items necessary for crafting the Ancient Box Trap. Mice will also drop Fire Salt, which is required for crafting the Inferno Havarti Cheese necessary for attracting mice in Dracano.
Hunting with other cheeses
Hunting in the Jungle of Dread with Gouda Cheese or SUPER|brie+ allows Hunters to attract the Pygmy Wrangler and Swarm of Pygmy Mice which drop Vanilla Beans used in crafting Vanilla Stilton and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton required to attract the mice found in Balack's Cove.
The Ocean Navigation Kit grants hunters access to the Tribal Isles region. It can be crafted using the following formula:

Jungle of Dread Mice - Other Cheeses
Hunters will need to acquire Vanilla Beans in order to craft Vanilla Stilton and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton for use in Balack's Cove
Because Hunters who are washed out of Balack's Cove by the High Tide are moved to the Jungle of Dread, these mice will be attracted to the two Stilton cheeses.
Cheese Preference and Loot
Standard Cheese (except Gouda Cheese and SUPER|brie+) attracts only the Sylvan Mouse, which is primarily weak to Tactical weapons, though several other Power Types are also effective.
Gouda Cheese will attract the Sylvan Mouse, Pygmy Wrangler Mouse and Swarm of Pygmy Mice. The latter two mice are weak to Shadow weapons.
SUPER|brie+, Vanilla Stilton Cheese and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese will attract the Pygmy Wrangler Mouse and Swarm of Pygmy Mice, but the usage of the latter two cheeses is discouraged since both require Vanilla Beans to craft.

Hunting tips by Larry
My knowledge of this area is woefully inadequate, due to my total knee-knocking fear of entering here. Maybe when you learn some things about this area, you can give me some tips. How does that sound?
