''At the edge of Whisker Woods lies a tree older than Gnawnia itself. Its magic roots stretch far underground and deep into the woods, giving life to the other trees. The shadow it casts is so massive that it began to affect the surrounding area through time, blocking necessary light from other trees. As as result, the other trees seem almost alive as they bend back and forth, seeking out the light.''

+
== Great Gnarled Tree Mice ==
The '''Great Gnarled Tree''' (commonly known as the GGT) is a location in the [[Whisker Woods]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Hunter's Title|Master]] and the [[Gnarled Tree Map Piece]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal multiple pieces of cheese (but not points or gold) if not captured.

 +
The [[Bat Mouse]] is part of [[The Shadow Clan]] group and is primarily weak to [[Shadow]] weapons.  [[Tactical]] weapons are '''less effective''' against the [[Bat Mouse]], but [[Arcane]], [[Forgotten]], and [[Physical]] weapons are of normal effectiveness.<br/>
 +
The [[Black Widow]], [[Dwarf]], and [[Nibbler]] mice are part of the [[Indigenous]] group and are weak to all [[Power Type]]s.

* Highlighted mice are less than 1% of the population and are infrequently encountered in this location.
+
 
 +
===Mice with Special Requirements===
 +
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. Hunters must have an [[Ancient Relic]] in their inventory to attract this mouse. The [[Ancient Relic]] will be taken by the [[Relic Hunter Mouse]] in exchange for a [[Relic Hunter Scroll Case]].
 +
*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] when Hunters are actively working an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]]. It is attracted only to [[Fusion Fondue]] which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.
  
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
Hunters have several [[Trap Setup Options for the Great Gnarled Tree]]. Hunters in the Great Gnarled Tree are advised to use a trap comparable to or greater than the [[Swiss Army Mouse Trap]] to hunt successfully. Using a lesser trap could result in a net loss due to the thieving mice. Hunters trying to catch the rare tactical mice in this area should use a [[tactical]] trap such as the [[Venus Mouse Trap]] for more [[effectiveness]] against the mice, although powerful [[physical]] weapons will also work without a penalty. <br>
+
Mice in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] are predominantly weak to [[Tactical]] weapons. [[Hydro]], [[Physical]], [[Arcane]], [[Law]], and [[Shadow]] weapons can also be used, though they may perform less well.
Bat mice have a preference for SUPER|brie+ and Gnarled cheese and are only rarely encountered with other cheeses at the Great Gnarled Tree. Curious Chemist mice are only attracted to Gnarled cheese while Nibbler, Nomad, and Tiger mice are only attracted to SUPER|brie+.
+
 
 +
[[Standard Cheese]] will attract most mice in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]], while {{SB}} is required to attract the [[Black Widow Mouse]], [[Nibbler Mouse]], [[Nomad Mouse]], and [[Tiger Mouse]].
 +
 
 +
Hunters must collect [[Gnarled Potion]]s to be able to create [[Gnarled Cheese]]. [[Gnarled Cheese]] is the only cheese able to attract the [[Curious Chemist Mouse]].
 +
 
 +
The [[Curious Chemist Mouse]] drops [[Wicked Gnarly Potion]]s which are required for creating [[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]]. [[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]] is required to attract certain mice in the [[Lagoon]].
 +
 
 +
Hunters who reach the rank of [[Grandmaster]] and find the [[Map of the Lagoon]] will be able to travel to the [[Lagoon]].
 +
 
 +
===[[Adventure Book]]===
 +
Hunters can [[Climb Up the Great Gnarled Tree]]by catching a [[Fairy Mouse]] at the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] to find a [[Map of the Lagoon]].
 +
 
 +
Hunters can complete steps to [[Craft the S.S. Huntington IV]] by obtaining [[Gnarled Cheese]] or [[Wicked Gnarly Cheese]].
 +
 
 +
===[[Library Assignments]]===
 +
*[[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] - This assignment may require capturing the [[M400]] in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]].
 +
*[[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]] - This assignment requires Hunters to collect 1 [[Desert Travel Almanac]] from a [[Centaur Mouse]] in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] or [[Lagoon]].
  
=== Cheese Usage ===
+
===[[Tournaments]]===
All standard cheese types can be used in this location. Hunters who wish to maximize their profits should use either [[Swiss]] or [[Brie]]. Mice in this area have a lower attraction to [[Marble]] cheese here compared to the [[Calm Clearing]].  
+
[[Great Gnarled Tree]] mice are worth points during some [[Tournaments]].
 +
 
 +
===[[Treasure Map]]s===
 +
Many mice in the [[Great Gnarled Tree]] are often found on [[Whisker Woods Treasure Map]]s and [[Relic Hunter Treasure Maps]].

At the edge of Whisker Woods lies a tree older than Gnawnia itself. Its magic roots stretch far underground and deep into the woods, giving life to the other trees. The shadow it casts is so massive that it began to affect the surrounding area through time, blocking necessary light from other trees. As a result, the other trees seem almost alive as they bend back and forth, seeking out the light.

Overview

The Great Gnarled Tree is a location in the Whisker Woods region requiring a minimum rank of Master and the Great Gnarled Tree Map Piece to enter.
Mice in the Great Gnarled Tree cannot steal gold or points, but can steal cheese if not caught.
Mice in the Great Gnarled Tree are primarily weak to Tactical weapons. Arcane, Hydro, Law, Physical and Shadow weapons can also be used, though they may perform less well.

Hunting Strategy

Mice in the Great Gnarled Tree are predominantly weak to Tactical weapons. Hydro, Physical, Arcane, Law, and Shadow weapons can also be used, though they may perform less well.

Standard Cheese will attract most mice in the Great Gnarled Tree, while SUPER|brie+ is required to attract the Black Widow Mouse, Nibbler Mouse, Nomad Mouse, and Tiger Mouse.

Hunters must collect Gnarled Potions to be able to create Gnarled Cheese. Gnarled Cheese is the only cheese able to attract the Curious Chemist Mouse.

The Curious Chemist Mouse drops Wicked Gnarly Potions which are required for creating Wicked Gnarly Cheese. Wicked Gnarly Cheese is required to attract certain mice in the Lagoon.

Hunters who reach the rank of Grandmaster and find the Map of the Lagoon will be able to travel to the Lagoon.

Adventure Book

Hunters can Climb Up the Great Gnarled Treeby catching a Fairy Mouse at the Great Gnarled Tree to find a Map of the Lagoon.

Hunting tips by Larry

Welcome to the Great Gnarled Tree. Watch your step, it's a long way down!

A Trapsmith has set up shop upon the highest branch of the tree and has a useful Tactical trap for sale. You'll find this new power type more effective against some of the mice that dwell in and around the Great Gnarled Tree.

The magic of the Great Gnarled Tree has led to the discovery of Gnarled potions. These potions are used to create Gnarled cheese which is sure to come in handy as you move deeper into the woods.

Keep your eyes open for a magical Fairy mouse that may hold clues regarding what lies in the woods beyond the Great Gnarled Tree.
