MASTER THE MAGIC OF THE BOILING CAULDRONS
17 Oct 2024
Halloween has begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Travel to the Gloomy Greenwood and put a stop to Baba Gaga!
The Gloomy Greenwood Returns...
Baba Gaga and her one-of-a-kind hut have returned to nest in the Gloomy Greenwood! Celebrate Halloween by brewing Evil Extract and concocting powerful potions!
Collect Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing
The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!
Click on either cauldron to open up Baba Gaga's Recipe Book where you'll find all the information you need to start brewing her sinister concoctions.
Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the Pungent Pumpkins that they are carrying.
Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of Monterey Jack-O-Lantern. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.
Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to Scream Cheese in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!
When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called Mousedrake Root. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!
Evil Extract can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all of the available potions and what each of them can do.
Get a head start with these delicious delights!
