A strange meteor has landed near Claw Show City, leaving a huge impact crater near the Gnawnian Express rails! This mysterious meteor brings with it a mysterious new breed of mice and their presence threatens the lives of the citizens of Varmint Valley. Around the crater, an encampment of hunters has surrounded these dangerous mice and are setting up a fort to hold them back!

Overview

Fort Rox is a location in the Varmint Valley region requiring a minimum rank of Baron or Baroness to enter. It also requires the purchase of the Fort Rox Battle Summons from the Claw Shot City Cartographer.

Hunting During the Day
During the Day Hunters will encounter mice that are primarily weak to Law weapons and attracted to Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+. These mice drop Meteorite Pieces used for building the Basic Wall and for repairing any damage to the Wall done during the Night. Hunters can make upgrades to their Fort during the Day using materials gathered during the Night.

Hunting at Night
Hunters must build a Basic Wall before they can defended the Fort by hunting during the Night. Mice found during the Night are weak only to Arcane and Shadow weapons and have a preference for Crescent Cheese or Moon Cheese, though Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+ may be used to lesser effect.

The Night is divided into 6 phases: Twilight, Midnight, Pitch, Utter Darkness, First Light, and Dawn. The goal for Hunters is to survive the first 5 stages of Night and reach Dawn, where the Monster of the Meteor may be encountered. Mice encountered at Night will damage the Hunter's Wall and when its Health reaches 0, the Hunter will be moved back to Day.

Materials found during the Night may be used during the Day to upgrade the defensive features of the Hunter's Fort.

HUD

The HUD shows the Hunter's Fort and the various defensive features. When Hunters first enter Fort Rox the various defensive features are shown as dotted outlines which are replaced with images of the features as they are built and upgraded.

Defensive features can only be upgraded during the Day. The Upgrade interface may be opened by clicking on a defensive feature or by clicking on the Upgrade button found at the bottom center of the HUD.

The HUD tracks the following items:

During Night, the current phase of the night and the number of hunts remaining until Dawn are shown at the top of the HUD.. When Dawn is reached, the anger level of the mice and the damage modifier are shown at the top of the HUD.

Upgrading the Fort

Using the HUD, Hunters are able to open the Upgrade interface and construct five different defensive features to help them defeat the mice found during the Night. The upgrade interface tracks the Hunter's inventory of Meteorite Pieces, Howlite, Bloodstone, Tower Mana, and Dawn Dust.

Each of the defensive features can be upgraded to provide greater benefits and effects. Upgrades for the individual defensive features must be made in order and the effects of each upgrade combine with those of previous upgrades. Upgrades may only be made during the Day.

Example: It is not necessary to complete any Wall upgrades to make a Moat upgrade, but it is necessary to make the Small Moat upgrade before the Big Moat upgrade can be made.

Fort defensive features (except the Mage Tower) have no effect during the Day.

Wall

Bigger and better walls have higher maximum health. If your wall falls, you'll have to retreat and repair it before returning to defend your fort.

Upgrades must be made in order and the effects of each upgrade combine with those of previous upgrades.

The Basic Wall is required before Hunters can defend the Fort at night.

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!
