====Labyrinth Entrance Discovered====
 
−
The Cartographer within the Fungal Cavern has finally unlocked the mystery of the Labyrinth Key. An expedition deep into the Fungal Cavern has revealed a carefully hidden locked doorway in the rock face. After a little experimentation, the Cartographer was able to configure the key to fit the lock, and with a loud click, the door slowly rose open!
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
The entire Labyrinth appears to be an elaborate trap to guard the entrance to an entire ancient city! Engravings on the door refer to this hidden city only as "Zokor".

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
The Labyrinth and the city that lies beyond it are buried deep into the jagged hills along the southern border of the Sandtail Desert. Cartographers have adjusted their maps, naming this new region Hollow Heights. The Fungal Cavern, Labyrinth, and city of Zokor all lie within this new region.

====Navigating the Labyrinth====
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
−
Early ventures into the Labyrinth have revealed some basic information on its structure and possible ways of navigating it. The Labyrinth consists of a seemingly endless number of hallways and intersections. The hallways are absolutely teeming with powerful mice that guard it, trying to prevent anyone from passing. In order to navigate the hall, a hunter will need to sound their horn, moving one step at a time through the perilous halls.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
When you encounter an intersection, you'll need to choose a doorway to enter the next hallway. Choose wisely! The hallways of the Labyrinth have a variety of lengths and themes. The theme of a hallway dictates the types of mice you'll encounter within the hallway, which then determine the types of clues you'll find by capturing mice.
+
----
−
<br/>
 
  
−
The clues you find within the Labyrinth will eventually lead you to one of many exit chambers and into the grand city of Zokor itself. Beware, hunter! Failing to capture a mouse will give your Labyrinth Compass a confusing clue, leading you astray in the maze. This is reflected by "Dead End Clues" -- the more of these you have, the more likely you are to find fewer doors at each intersection.

 +
''{{date|9|January|2024}}''
  
−
Once your Labyrinth Compass has absorbed a total of 100 (or more) clues of any kind, the next intersection at the end of your current hallway will be an exit chamber. The exit chamber will have one or more available exits into Zokor, depending on what and how many clues you collected in the Labyrinth.

====Avoiding the Shadow Stalker====
+
<blockquote>
−
Perhaps the most sinister mouse you'll come across in your explorations is the Shadow Stalker Mouse. This powerful adversary is extremely resistant to all known traps and frequently cripples the courage of hunters who fail to capture them. The great difficulty of capturing these mice is often the greatest cause of dead ends showing up.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
These mice lurk only in the dark shadows of the Labyrinth and Zokor.<br/>
+
==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
−
Use Glowing Gruyere Cheese to illuminate your trap and keep these mice away!
+
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!

<br/>
 
  
−
====The Districts of Zokor====
+
After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw.
−
After carefully analyzing inscriptions on the walls of the Labyrinth, the King's archaeologists suspect that the hallway themes correlate with five unique districts within Zokor. These five districts appear to represent aspects Fealty, Technology, Scholarship, Treasure, and Farming. It seems only logical that following the hallways themed after their respective districts will lead a hunter to that district within Zokor itself.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
The more of a single type of clue you find while in the Labyrinth, the deeper you'll push into the boundaries of Zokor. Hunters that manage to obtain large quantities of clues will find themselves within deeper areas of the city districts, where the eldest, most powerful (and lucrative) mice reside.
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.

−
Amongst the hordes of mice within the Labyrinth are also several shopkeepers who are relieved that they finally have hunters to now purchase their wares! These shop keepers are selling a variety of goods and equipment, many specially designed to help you navigate the Labyrinth.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
The shopkeepers are unable to navigate the Labyrinth themselves and, as such, they are only willing to sell many of their wares for the unique items found only within Zokor. You'll need to gather loot from Zokor before you'll be able to purchase most of their equipment.
+
The following changes have happened in the Taiga:
−
<br/>
+
*Mice are no longer dropping Golem Parts or Pecan Pecorino
 +
*Mice in Cinnamon Hill are no longer dropping Compressed Cinnamon
  
−
*'''Labyrinth Lantern'''
+
The following things will remain the same '''until January 16''' when the event shuts down completely:
−
:The dark hallways of the Labyrinth hide clues from your compass. However, with this lantern illuminated, your compass' efficiency will be boosted! While your lantern is glowing, your compass will absorb +1 clue every time you discover one from a mouse.
+
*Golems can still be built and sent out
−
<br/>
+
*Cinnamon can still power the Forges in the Golem Part Workshop
−
*'''Lantern Oil'''
+
*Hailstones can still be fired at the Ice Fortress</div>
−
:This oil fuels the Labyrinth Lantern. While your lantern is lit, one fuel will be consumed every time you hunt.
 
−
<br/>
 
−
*'''Labyrinth Base'''
 
−
:A chiseled replica of what is thought to be the original maze layout that helped hunters navigate the maze a long time ago. Using this base inside of the Labyrinth has a chance of preventing a Dead End Clue from confusing your Labyrinth Compass during an unsuccessful hunt.
 
−
<br/>
 
−
*'''Shuffler's Cube'''
 
−
:These cubes were invented by a hunter named Shelly Shuffler as an emergency doorway reconfiguration device. When used at an intersection, these cubes quickly bond with the door mechanisms, transforming the doors and repairing any crumbled passageways. Using a Shuffler's Cube causes the Labyrinth to shuffle the currently available hallways in an intersection.
 
−
<br/>
 
−
*'''Compass Magnet'''
 
−
:This special magnet will recalibrate a confused compass! Its powerful pull removes 3 of every type of clue within your compass, freeing up space for more and better clues.
 
−
<br/>
 
−
*'''Endless Labyrinth Trap Blueprints'''
 
−
:These blueprints are filled with unorthodox methods of combining items found in the city of Zokor. The design is one to create a powerful Forgotten trap to help give hunters an edge against mice in the Labyrinth.
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
====Track Down the Retired Minotaur====
 
−
This area's adventure is an epic journey to track down a fabled minotaur that long ago went into hiding. It seems the minotaur became weary of its constant administrative duties and guarding the maze, so it sought out a hiding spot where no hunter would ever find them. As if navigating the maze was not challenging enough, the King is tasking hunters with the adventure of finding the minotaur's hiding place and capturing the powerful adversary!
 
−
<br/>
 
  
−
With epic challenges come epic rewards: The King is awarding 1,000,000 Gold and 1,000,000 Points for each minotaur capture! Additionally, the minotaur is rumoured to carry rare loot capable of constructing extremely powerful traps.
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will end completely on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 16, 2024'''</div>
−
<br/>
 
  
−
The powerful loot guarded by the minotaur can be listed on the Marketplace, empowering hunters to sell extra loot they have found and buy the loot that they are missing. However, crafting with these special minotaur items still requires other non-marketable loot obtained from the Labyrinth, meaning only accomplished Labyrinth hunters will be able to construct the traps.
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
−
<br/>
 
  
−
*'''Enigmatic Core'''
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be '''removed from your inventory''':
−
:The Enigmatic Core is used to upgrade the Endless Labyrinth Trap into the more powerful Infinite Labyrinth Trap. With over 11,000 Power, this oversized trap is the most powerful trap in the Kingdom!
+
*Golem Parts
−
:11,011 Power, 15% Power Bonus, 5% Attraction Bonus, 11 Luck
+
*Animated Snow
−
<br/>
+
*Reinforced Ice Shards
−
*'''Essence of Destruction'''
+
*Compressed Cinnamon
−
:The Essence of Destruction is an insanely-concentrated amount of dark matter. Its powerful gravitational pull is a key ingredient used in construction of the Event Horizon Trap, a powerful Arcane trap unlike anything ever seen before.
+
*Hailstones
−
:6,000 Power, 12% Power Bonus, 10% Attraction Bonus, 25 Luck
+
*Firework Sugar Cookies
−
<br/>
+

*'''Temporal Shadow Plate'''
+
*Golem Gift Box
−
:A pair of these rare temporal plates are used to construct the housing for the Temporal Turbine Trap. The turbine's massive amount of luck dwarfs any other known Shadow trap.
 
−
:5,000 Power, 20% Power Bonus, 25 Luck
 
−
<br/>
 
−
*'''Really, Really Shiny Precious Gold'''
 
−
:It shouldn't be a surprise that a mouse as powerful as the Retired Minotaur Mouse carries materials to create something just as uniquely powerful. The Minotaur Base requires several stacks of Really, Really Shiny Precious Gold and has a whopping 1,000 Power and more than ample amount of Luck. This elite equipment is sure to take any trap setup to new heights of power!
 
−
:1,000 Power, 20% Power Bonus, 10% Attraction Bonus, 15 Luck
