==Overview==
 
The '''Lost City''' is a location in the [[Sandtail Desert]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Baron|Baron/Baroness]] and the [[Living Garden Key]] to enter. The [[Living Garden Key]] is obtained from the [[Cartographer#Muridae Market Cartographer|Cartographer]] at the [[Muridae Market]].
 
  
Mice in the [[Lost City]] are weak only to [[Arcane]] weapons.  
+
== Overview ==
 +
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a hunting location in [[Sandtail Desert]] region.
  
[[Dewthief Camembert]] is required for attracting all mice in the [[Lost City]]. Hunters must use [[Searcher Charm]] and play the [[#Lost Curse Minigame|Lost Curse Minigame]] to attract the [[Essence Collector Mouse]].
+
[[Living Garden]], [[Lost City]], [[Sand Dunes]], [[Twisted Garden]], [[Cursed City]], and [[Sand Crypts]] are 6 connected hunting locations, forming the '''Living Garden complex'''.
  
Hunters must collect [[Dreamfluff Herbs]] to use in purchasing [[Duskshade Camembert]]. [[Duskshade Camembert]] is required for attracting [[Carmine the Apothecary]] in the [[Living Garden]] to enter the '''Twisted World'''.
+
They require the minimum [[rank]] of [[Baron|Baron/Baroness]] and the [[Living Garden Key]] to access.
  
===Accessing the Twisted World===
+
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' can only be traveled to when the Hunter's map is in [[#Normal World and Twisted World|Normal state]].
The '''Twisted World''' locations of [[Twisted Garden]], [[Cursed City]], and [[Sand Crypts]] can only be accessed by capturing [[Carmine the Apothecary]] with [[Duskshade Camembert]] in the [[Living Garden]]. Capturing [[Carmine the Apothecary]] will move the Hunter to the [[Twisted Garden]] and the following message is displayed:
 
  
''On catching Carmine the Apothecary, a light flashes and a spell she had prepared in advance erupts! Nightmarish tendrils of dark smoke burst from the ground around me, and before I knew it the world had changed before my very eyes into a wild and twisted version of itself.<br/>I can feel this world itself attempting to reject me and send me back, but I must stay as long as I am able to find out what Carmine is doing in this hidden, dark place.''
+
=== Normal World and Twisted World ===
 +
{{Normal World and Twisted World}}
  
Hunting with any cheese other than [[Graveblossom Camembert]] in the [[Cursed City]] will cause Hunters to be moved to the [[Lost City]] and the following message will be displayed:

=== The Living Garden Sequence ===
 +
In the '''Living Garden complex''', the Hunter follows 6 main steps in sequence.<br>Step '''2a''' can be done in '''{{PAGENAME}}'''.
  
''Almost as if an illusion suddenly shattered, the world around me snaps back to normal. Using '''X''' Cheese has brought me back to the normal world.''<br/>
+

If an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] requires capturing the [[M400]] in the [[Lost City]], Hunters can encounter it in the [[Cursed City]], but will be dropped to normal reality for hunting with the wrong cheese.

:''The power of my Searcher Charm dispelled the Lost Curse, lifting the curse from the Lost City!<br/>I should unequip my Searcher Charms and save them for later.''
 
 
 
The HUD message will also change to ''The curse is lifted! The Essence Collectors have stopped hiding! Watch out for that Cursed Mouse!'' Once the minigame is activated, [[Essence Collector]] mice can be attracted to the Hunter's trap, and the [[Cursed]] mouse will not be attracted for the first three hunts.  The curse will reappear once the hunter encounters a [[Cursed]] mouse and the following message will be displayed:
 
:''The terrible power of the Cursed Mouse re-ignited the curse on the Lost City!''

This city suffered a terrible curse and was lost between dimensions! The mice residing here are ghostly apparitions as well, trapped between dimensions in an incorporeal state.

Overview

Lost City is a hunting location in Sandtail Desert region.

Living Garden, Lost City, Sand Dunes, Twisted Garden, Cursed City, and Sand Crypts are 6 connected hunting locations, forming the Living Garden complex.

They require the minimum rank of Baron/Baroness and the Living Garden Key to access.

Lost City can only be traveled to when the Hunter's map is in Normal state.

Normal World and Twisted World

At a time, among 6 hunting locations in the Living Garden complex, only 3 can be traveled to. This depends on whether the Hunter's map is in Normal or Twisted state:

The map state can be changed from Normal to Twisted by:

Doing so will generate a journal entry:
On catching Carmine the Apothecary, a light flashes and a spell she had prepared in advance erupts! Nightmarish tendrils of dark smoke burst from the ground around me, and before I knew it the world had changed before my very eyes into a wild and twisted version of itself.
I can feel this world itself attempting to reject me and send me back, but I must stay as long as I am able to find out what Carmine is doing in this hidden, dark place.

The map state can be changed from Twisted to Normal by either:

Doing any of the actions above will generate a journal entry:
Almost as if an illusion suddenly shattered, the world around me snaps back to normal. Using X Cheese has brought me back to the normal world.

The Living Garden Sequence

In the Living Garden complex, the Hunter follows 6 main steps in sequence.
Step 2a can be done in Lost City.

Step Location Cheese Used Loot To Obtain
1 Living Garden Standard Cheese Dewthief Petal Dewthief Camembert
2a Lost City Dewthief Camembert Dreamfluff Herbs Duskshade Camembert
2b Sand Dunes Dewthief Camembert Duskshade Petal
3 Living Garden Duskshade Camembert Access to Twisted World
4 Twisted Garden Duskshade Camembert Graveblossom Petal Graveblossom Camembert
5a Cursed City Graveblossom Camembert Plumepearl Herbs Lunaria Camembert
5b Sand Crypts Graveblossom Camembert Lunaria Petal
6 Twisted Garden Lunaria Camembert Living Chest Fel Essence
Gur Essence
Fresh Twisted Garden Soil

Lost Curse Minigame

In Lost City, the Lost Curse mechanics are in effect:

  • The state can be Cursed or Curse Lifted
  • The state is Cursed when the Hunter visits Lost City for the first time.
  • The state can be changed from Cursed to Curse Lifted by catching a mouse with Searcher Charm armed.
  • Lifting the curse will remove Cursed Mouse from attraction pool in the next 3 hunts in Lost City.
When the effect activates, it generates a journal entry:
The power of my Searcher Charm dispelled the Lost Curse, lifting the curse from the Lost City!
I should unequip my Searcher Charms and save them for later.
  • The state will be changed from Curse Lifted to Cursed upon encountering Cursed Mouse.
When the effect activates, it generates a journal entry:
The terrible power of the Cursed Mouse re-ignited the curse on the Lost City!

The Hunter can arm the Safeguard Charm to avoid encountering the Cursed Mouse.

Heads-Up Display

The Hunter can access and track the following in the HUD:

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

I hope you managed to build up a large collection of Dewthief Cheese, hunter. The mice in this city don't seem to like anything else!

Long ago something strange happened to this city: it became trapped between two dimensions. You will only find ghostly apparitions here, but do not be fooled - these mice are very much alive! Existing in multiple dimensions has its advantages and the mice have learned to control them. These mice can swipe your cheese while still being mostly immune to your trap. It would seem that they are bound to our reality by their inherent magical aspect. Because of this weakness, your Arcane traps will be extremely effective at countering these wispy foes.

If you're looking to collect the most Garden Essences here, you'll want to dispel the Lost Curse that affects you while here. To do that, purchase a Searcher Charm from the store and catch a mouse. Simple as that! When the curse is dispelled, the Essence Collector Mouse is free to roam, and you're free to catch it and steal his cache of Garden Essences! But beware, should the Cursed Mouse show, the Lost Curse will be renewed and you'll need to use another Searcher Charm again.

Be sure to collect all the Dreamfluff Herbs you can while you're here. You'll need them to create cheese to keep hunting with!
