This small island was once attached to the mainland before a mighty storm washed away a massive piece of land. Members of the three tribes were then trapped where they were forced to work together to build a means of travel back to the mainland. Cape Clawed now acts as a meeting place where the elders of the tribes discuss diplomatic matters.

Description and Requirements

The Cape Clawed is a location in the Tribal Isles region requiring a minimum rank of Legendary and crafted Ocean Navigation Kit to enter. Hunters will be relieved to learn that mice are unable to steal gold, cheese, or points in the Cape Clawed.

  • Highlighted mice are less than 1% of the population and are infrequently encountered in this location.

Hunting Strategy

Hunters have several Trap Setup Options for Cape Clawed. In this location, there are mice of three different power types (Hydro, Physical, and Tactical). The hunter needs to pick the trap with the power type of the most desired mice. Alternatively, the hunter may consider using the luckiest available trap. The standard cheeses (Swiss, Brie, Gouda) all work fine in this location for most mice. However, Crunchy is necessary to attract Aged, Shell is necessary to attract Elder, and Gumbo is necessary to attract Grandfather.

Based on the points needed to build the strongest traps for each type, the following sequence is typical, first you build the strongest tactical trap (the Horrific Venus Mouse Trap) which requires only 8,000,000 points. Once your points reach 12,000,000 and you have enough gold you can craft the strongest Hydro trap (the Ancient Spear Gun). When your points reach 14,000,000, you may purchase the Tribal Base at Cape Clawed which has high power bonus to increase your trap power. And then after your points exceed 16,000,000 you can craft the strongest physical trap (the RhinoBot).

Hunting tips by Larry

Congratulations on crossing the Rodentia Ocean, MouseHunter!

The Tribal Isles region is home to three tribes which have a long history of conflict. The eldest mice of each tribe now meet here in an effort to restore peace to the region.

Visit the Cheese Shoppe here in Cape Clawed and I am sure Gouda will catch your attention. Its sharp flavor has long been a favorite of the mice indigenous to the Tribal Isles, only surpassed by SUPER|brie+.

Cape Clawed also has a Trapsmith and a General Store. In addition to standard cheese-making supplies like Salt, Curds and Whey, the General Store here also carries Coconut Milk, which is a vital ingredient in some local flavors of cheese. I hope you came with a good stash of gold because the General Store here also carries some mighty expensive sets of blueprints.

Phew, that was quite a lot of information if I do say so myself... and I do! But I haven't even mentioned what hunting there is to be done here in Cape Clawed.

The majority of mice here are rather weak and offer little reward for their capture. Cape Clawed is, however, a meeting spot for the tribal elders. Each of the elder mice here are attracted to a very specific cheese made from secret ingredients. To capture the elder mice, you will have to visit their respective villages to the East and hunt down the secret ingredients to their favorite cheeses.

Well, I suppose these are all the tips I have for you, MouseHunter. There is much to do here in the Tribal Isles, so take your time, plan your moves, and try to ignore the menacing roar coming from that volcano. . .
