| These specialty charms are highly sought after in the Haunted Terrortories! They prove irresistible to two specific mice, the beloved Shortcut Mouse and the dreaded Grey Recluse mouse. Catching either of these mice change your progress through the Haunted Terrortories. Capturing the Shortcut mouse will let you in on the closest secret shortcut, advancing you three spaces forward while traversing the Haunted Terrortories.. However catching the Grey Recluse leaves your trap in a sticky situation, pulling you back one spot leaving you busy to clean up the mess. What's a little risk and reward? | |||
Obtained Via
The Shortcut Charm is dropped as loot by the Tricky Witch Mouse.
Location-Specific Effects
- When this charm is used with Candy Corn Cheese or Ghoulgonzola Cheese armed, the available mouse population is reduced to just the Shortcut Mouse and Grey Recluse Mouse.
- Catching a Shortcut Mouse moves the Hunter ahead up to 3 spaces (it will be less if there are not three spaces left for the current cheese in the current region, and will not advance into the spots reserved for Trick or Treat mice).
- It also leaves an extra message in the Hunter's Journal, similar to:
- Yes! Catching a Shortcut Mouse leapt me 3 spaces ahead in the Corn Maze!
- Catching a Grey Recluse Mouse moves the Hunter back 1 space.
- It also leaves an extra message in the Hunter's Journal, similar to:
- Shoot! Catching a Grey Recluse Mouse knocked me back 1 space in the Corn Maze...
- If the hunter has not used the current cheese in the current region, no progress is lost and the message has an additional line:
- Thankfully, I had only just entered the Corn Maze, so I couldn't be pushed back any further!
- The Shortcut Charm does not alter population, and is not consumed if hunting with non-event cheeses. When that is attempted, a message appears in the Hunter's Journal:
- I tried to hunt with a Shortcut charm, but forgot to arm Trick Cheese or Treat Cheese! I should really arm one of those cheeses so I can continue my progress!
- The Shortcut Charm is not consumed if the hunter is facing the Trick, Treat, or final mouse of the Haunted Terrortories.
