Named by the tribes, this dangerous jungle is home to some of the most terrifying mice ever discovered. Long ago the leaders of the tribes discovered a spicy cheese made with peppers capable of distracting the mighty beasts of the jungle. This peppered bait may be the key to luring these mice to a trap...

Overview

The Jungle of Dread is a location in the Tribal Isles region requiring a minimum rank of Hero and the Ocean Navigation Kit to enter.
Mice in this location may steal points or gold, but not multiple pieces of cheese, if not captured.

Hunters who are washed out of Balack's Cove by the High Tide will be moved to the Jungle of Dread.

Hunting with Havarti Cheese

Hunters must acquire Pepper Seeds from the mice in the Derr Dunes, Elub Shore, and Nerg Plains in order to craft the Havarti Cheeses required to catch most mice in the Jungle of Dread.
Hunting with Havarti Cheeses will reward Hunters with items necessary for crafting the Ancient Box Trap. Mice will also drop Fire Salt, which is required for crafting the Inferno Havarti Cheese necessary for attracting mice in Dracano.

Hunting with other cheeses

Hunting in the Jungle of Dread with Gouda Cheese or SUPER|brie+ allows Hunters to attract the Pygmy Wrangler and Swarm of Pygmy Mice which drop Vanilla Beans used in crafting Vanilla Stilton and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton required to attract the mice found in Balack's Cove.

Ocean Navigation Kit

The Ocean Navigation Kit grants hunters access to the Tribal Isles region. It can be crafted using the following formula:

Jungle of Dread Mice -- Havarti Cheeses

The mice found in the Jungle of Dread when Hunters arm one of the 6 Havarti Cheeses are weak only to Shadow weapons.

Jungle of Dread Mice - Other Cheeses

These mice are weak to Shadow weapons.
Hunters will need to acquire Vanilla Beans in order to craft Vanilla Stilton and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton for use in Balack's Cove
Because Hunters who are washed out of Balack's Cove by the High Tide are moved to the Jungle of Dread, these mice will be attracted to the two Stilton cheeses.

Cheese Preference and Loot

Standard Cheese (except Gouda Cheese} attracts only the Sylvan Mouse, which is primarily weak to Tactical weapons, though several other Power Types are also effective.
Gouda Cheese and SUPER|brie+ will attract the Pygmy Wrangler Mouse and Swarm of Pygmy Mice.
Vanilla Stilton Cheese and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton Cheese will attract the Pygmy Wrangler Mouse and Swarm of Pygmy Mice, but their use is discouraged since both require Vanilla Beans to craft.

Hunting tips by Larry

My knowledge of this area is woefully inadequate, due to my total knee-knocking fear of entering here. Maybe when you learn some things about this area, you can give me some tips. How does that sound?
