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:

Selecting Defend Fort will allow Hunters to enter the Night. 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.

Hunters can choose to retreat while hunting at night and any remaining wall health will be preserved. The option to retreat is not available during Dawn.

Day Hunting

Mice found during the Day are primarily weak to Law weapons, though Shadow and Arcane weapons can be used to lesser effect. Standard Cheeses and SUPER|brie+ are preferred by mice during the Day, but Crescent Cheese and Moon Cheese will attract mice at a lower rate. Mice found during the Day drop Meteorite Pieces and Tower Mana.

The Hunter's Fort defenses can only be upgraded during the Day. The Ballista, Cannon, Wall, and Moat defenses have no effect while Hunting during the Day.

  • Wall
During the Day Hunters will attract mice that drop Meteorite Pieces used to build the Basic Wall and to repair any damage the wall receives while hunting during the Night.
Hunters must build a Basic Wall before they can hunt during the Night.
  • Mage Tower
The Mage Tower can be activated during the Day to take advantage of the Spotlight Enchantment which will provide double Meteorite Piece drops, and the Power Enchantment which provides a chance to instantly capture any mouse.
The Healing Enchantment and Sunsphere Enchantment have no effect when hunting during the Day.
The Mining Materials Manager Mouse will drop Tower Mana used to power the Hunter's Mage Tower.
Tower Mana is consumed on every hunt while the Mage Tower is active.

Fort Rox Mice -- Day

The mice found during the Day in Fort Rox are primarily weak to Law weapons. Arcane and Shadow weapons are less effective.

Cheese Preference and Loot

Standard Cheese will attract all mice found during the Day.
SUPER|brie+ will improve the attraction rate of the Mining Materials Manager.
Crescent Cheese and Moon Cheese will attract mice during the Day, but at a lower rate than Standard Cheese and SUPER|brie+.

Night Hunting

"This is my fort, I have to defend it."
"I've done what I can to ready my fort and I am now ready to fight."
"I await nightfall to face the hordes of Meteorite Miners and stand against them for as long as I can!"

Mice found during Night are weak only to Arcane and Shadow weapons. Crescent Cheese and Moon Cheese are preferred by mice at Night, but Standard Cheesae and SUPER|brie+ will attract mice at a lower rate. Mice found during the Night drop Meteorite Pieces, Tower Mana, Howlite, Bloodstone, and Dawn Dust. These items are primarily used to upgrade the Hunter's Fort defenses. The Hunter's Fort defenses can only be upgraded during the Day.

To hunt during the Night, select Defend Fort at the upper left of the HUD which will open the following pop-up:

"Are you prepared to defend your fort?"
"Once night falls, an unending horde of terrors will descend."
"Defend your fort and survive as long as you can!"
"Spend [X] Meteorite Piece(s) to repair to full health?"
This message is shown only when a Hunter attempts to enter night with a damaged wall. Checking the box in front of this message will spend the Meteorite Pieces necessary to bring the wall to full health.
"I need more time"
or
"I'm ready to defend!"

Wall

The Basic Wall is required before Hunters may defend the Fort at night. When the Wall is reduced to zero health, Hunters will be moved back to Day and the Wall will need to be repaired using Meteorite Pieces before Hunters can hunt during the Night again.

Wall Health

The Wall's health determines how long Hunters will be able to survive during the night. It is not possible to partially repair a wall, but Hunters may enter night with a partially damaged wall that is not at full health.

  • Basic Wall - Maximum Health: 50
  • Howlite Wall - Maximum Health: 100
  • Blood Bastion - Maximum Health: 200
  • Moonbeam Fortress - Maximum Health: 350

Wall Damage

Mice encountered during the Night will damage the Hunter's Wall under certain circumstances.

  • Failure to Catch (FTC) = 3 damage
  • Red Box FTC = 5 damage
  • Failure to Attract (FTA) = 5 damage
  • Nightfire Mouse, FTC = 10 damage
  • Battering Ram Mouse, any encounter = 15 damage

Wall Damage -- Dawn

When Hunters reach Dawn the damage effects to the wall are multiplied by an additional 100% after each catch of a Monster of the Meteor. Any FTC of a Monster of the Meteor or Dawn Guardian will result in greater damage to the Hunter's wall. Damage from encountering a Battering Ram Mouse is not multiplied.

and damage increases accordingly

Defenses

These defenses can be built and upgraded to obtain special hunting bonuses and effects during Night. None of these defenses are required for defending the fort at night, but they improve the Hunter's chances to reach Dawn. These defenses are not damaged while hunting and will not need to be repaired after hunting during the night.

Building and upgrading of defenses can only be done during the Day.

Ballista

The Ballista will boost your effectiveness against Weremice, most commonly found during Twilight and Midnight.

The effects of each upgrade combine with the effects of earlier upgrades.

  • Basic Ballista - Decreases the power of Fort Rox Weremice by 50%.
  • Silver Ballista - Provides a chance to instantly capture Fort Rox Weremice.
  • Sunsilver Ballista - Instantly defeats the Nightmancer Mouse.

Cannon

The Cannon will boost your effectiveness against Cosmic Critters, most commonly found during Utter Darkness and First Light.

The effects of each upgrade combine with the effects of earlier upgrades.

  • Small Cannon - Decreases the power of Fort Rox Cosmic Critters by 50%.
  • Power Cannon - Provides a chance to instantly capture Fort Rox Cosmic Critters.
  • Energy Cannon - Instantly defeats the Nightfire Mouse.

Moat

The Moat reduces the amount of damage your wall takes during the night.

  • Small Moat - Reduces damage your wall receives by 1.
  • Big Moat - Reduces damage your wall receives by 2.
  • Silver Moat - Reduces damage your wall receives by 3.

Mage Tower

The Mage Tower can be enchanted with special abilities. While active, it'll use 1 Tower Mana per hunt and apply all unlocked abilities.

The Mage Tower may be used during both Day and Night, though its effects provide the most benefit during the Night. Tower Mana is required to use the Mage Tower.

The effects of each upgrade combine with the effects of earlier upgrades.

  • Spotlight Enchantment - Doubles loot drops when Meteorite Piece, Howlite, or Bloodstone is found while the Mage Tower is active.
  • Power Enchantment - Adds a chance to instantly capture any mouse while the Mage Tower is active.
  • Healing Enchantment - Heals your wall by 1 health after every hunt while the Mage Tower is active.
  • Sunsphere Enchantment - Reduces hunts until dawn by 2 after every hunt while the Mage Tower is active.

Retreating

Hunters may choose to retreat from the Night during all phases except Dawn. Any remaining wall health will be preserved, but progress through the night will be lost.

Selecting Retreat from the HUD opens the following pop-up:

"Are you sure you want to retreat?"
"You will lose all progress you have made through the night. Your wall will retain any remaining health."
"Cancel"
or
"Retreat"

Fort Rox Mice -- Night

The mice found during the Night in Fort Rox are weak only to Arcane and Shadow weapons. Law weapons are ineffective.

Cheese Preference and Loot

Crescent Cheese and Moon Cheese will attract all mice found during the Night, except the Battering Ram Mouse.
Standard Cheese or SUPER|brie+ is required to attract the Battering Ram Mouse.
SUPER|brie+ will attract mice at a lower rate than Crescent Cheese and Moon Cheese.
Standard Cheese attracts mice at a much lower rate than other baits. Cosmic Critters and Dawn Destroyers are very rarely attracted with Standard Cheeses.

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!
