| − | ====Festive Comet Smashes Into Gnawnia==== | + | ====Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon==== |
| | | | |
| − | The yearly celestial event known as the Festive Comet has crashed into Gnawnia just south of the Town of Gnawnia Castle with a snowy kaboom! The collision instantly transformed the Kingdom into a wintery wonderland full of festive snow and holiday cheer! However, it seems one mouse is bent on destroying the snowy ambience by using several over-sized space heaters to melt the lovely festive landscape into a slushy and disgusting mess. Yuck! | + | The traveling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon. Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to visit her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available. |
| | | | |
| − | ====Building Golems to Destroy Heaters====
| + | While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Explosive Christmas Crackers'''
| + | ====Kegs of Bland Queso==== |
| | | | |
| − | Luckily, the blast of winter weather has also brought with it beloved Winter Snow Golems. These powerful friends can be sent out to any location you've mapped and gained access to in order to retrieve all sorts of useful goodies! Where you send your golems will determine the type of loot which with they return. However, no matter where you send them, they'll bring back Explosive Christmas Crackers. These festive ordnance are just what you'll need to demolish the space heaters which are trying to turn the Great Winter Hunt into the Great Muddy Waterfront. Again I say: Yuck!
| + | Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (Big Jaq won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself.) The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose double the kegs when mice drop them! |
| | | | |
| − | '''Pecan Pecorino''' | + | '''Small'''<br> |
| | + | 250 Bland Queso |
| | | | |
| − | Collect Pecan Pecorino to attract mice carrying golem parts and assemble a golem to send on a loot mission. Once dispatched, your golem will return, after you take 25 hunts, with valuable loot and Explosive Christmas Crackers. Carefully pull the tab on your crackers to detonate its cheer in the direction of a space heater, obliterating both in the process. The Shorts-All-Year Mouse has setup 10 heaters in a row, each larger the the last, requiring more and more explosives to destroy.
| + | '''Medium'''<br> |
| | + | 500 Bland Queso |
| | | | |
| − | *'''15 Pecan Pecorino Cheese'''
| + | '''Large'''<br> |

| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Repurposed Heat Exchanger Coils====
| + | *'''150 Wild Tonic'''<br> |
| | + | :DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic! |
| | | | |
| − | The Explosive Christmas Crackers provide a powerful, yet precise, bombardment. In the rubble of a demolished heater, you'll find useful Heat Exchanger Coils which you can re-purpose to upgrade your Golem Generators! Level up your golems to have them return with a greater quantity of more valuable loot, including more Explosive Christmas Crackers. Keep on upgrading and your loot collection abilities will really start to snowball!
| + | These Kegs of Queso can be collected anywhere in the region, including Queso Geyser! The kegs are fortunately heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safetly float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests. |

| − | If you manage to destroy all of the heaters setup by the Shorts-All-Year Mouse, you'll be able to confront him in the cold. In this weakened state, you'll be able to catch him with his pants down... so to speak. Capturing the Shorts-All-Year Mouse will recover a pair of Plain Shorts which you can then fashion into a much more elaborate festive version using the heads-up display.

| + | '''Hot Spice Leaf'''<br> |
| | + | 3 Medium Leaves |
| | | | |

| + | '''Flamin' Spice Leaf'''<br> |
| | + | 4 Hot Leaves |
| | | | |
| − | ====Sweet, Sugary Rewards==== | + | ====Blooming Spice Plants==== |

Each time you capture an Acolyte, the trap's power within the Acolyte Realm will increase by 2,000! The Chrono Mouse is the only mouse capable of rewinding the timepiece, releasing bonus items in the process! The more Acolytes you capture with this trap before capturing a Chrono Mouse, the more loot the Chrono Mouse will drop, but doing so will also revert the trap to its original power.
| |
| | | | |

| − | ''Generate loot in the Sandtail Desert by consuming Flameshards''
