Overview

Queso Geyser is a location in the Queso Canyon region requiring a minimum rank of Count/Countess to enter. It also requires the purchase of the Fully-Functional Queso Geyser Replica Clay Model from Queso River Cartographer, Prickly Plains Cartographer or Cantera Quarry Cartographer.

Hunters loot Cork Bark, build Pressure and hunt Dragon Nests for loot.

Collecting Cork Bark

Hunters can arm Bland Queso, Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso, Flamin' Queso or Wildfire Queso to attract mice that drop Cork Bark.

Cork Bark is used to construct Small, Medium, Large or Epic Corks.

Using Wild Tonic against Cork Collectors doubles the amount of Cork Bark looted.

Building Pressure

Hunters can arm Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso, Flamin' Queso or Wildfire Queso to attract mice that build pressure.

Using Wild Tonic against Pressure Builders doubles the amount of Pressure built.

The amount of pressure needed to blow a cork and cause an eruption is dependent on the type of cork constructed.
If the maximum pressure is attained, eruption is immediately triggered, regardless of number of hunts remaining.

If Hunters run out of hunts to defend the cork and the pressure attained is less than 35 kPa to trigger a small eruption, a tiny eruption which lasts for 5 hunts will be triggered instead.

Looting Dragon Nests

After causing an eruption, Hunters can arm Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso, Flamin' Queso or Wildfire Queso to loot the Dragon Nest for a set number of hunts.

The number of hunts to loot the Dragon Nest is dependent on the type of eruption. Catching a mouse increases nest size and adds loot to the nest. The type of loot added to the Dragon Nest is dependent on the type of mice caught.

Using Wild Tonic against Geyser Hunters adds bonus loot to the Dragon Nest.

Using Magic Nest Dust before claiming the Dragon Nest adds the following 5 bonus loot items (depending on the eruption level):

HUD

The HUD tracks the Following Items:

On the center top of the HUD, beside the area's name -Queso Geyser- there is a travel icon. When clicked, a popup appears showing Queso River, Prickly Plains, Cantera Quarry and Queso Geyser. From here, hunters can freely travel to any of the 4 locations listed.

Hunters can arm and craft the various cheeses by hovering over the corresponding HUD components and picking which recipe they prefer to craft.

While Looting Cork Bark

On the left, there is a list with Small, Medium, Large and Epic Corks along with the required items to construct them.
Upon clicking each, there is an option to construct them.

While Building Pressure

In the middle, there is a gauge which tells hunters how much pressure is required to cause an eruption for each of the 4 different corks. On the left, the number of hunts remaining to build pressure is shown.

During an Eruption

On the left, the size of the eruption is stated along with the number of hunts remaining to loot the Dragon Nest.
Below it, nest size is displayed.

Mice

Cork Collector mice are only available when there is no Eruption and when no Cork has been constructed.
Most Cork Collectors are attracted to Bland Queso, Mild Queso, Medium Queso, Hot Queso and Flamin' Queso.

Hunting Strategy

Location-Specific Effects


Hunting Tips by Larry

Ah, Queso Geyser! The heart of the whole queso operation. A natural fount of delicious, molten queso that bubbles and gurgles its way from the unknown depths of Gnawnia's core to the surface. The most prevalent geologists have determined this to be biggest and most active geyser currently known within the entire Kingdom!

Its constant activity causes it to be a source of extreme heat as well as delicious cheese. Due to this, the strongest family of mice have taken roost here. Very powerful dragons have now made this their home, hoarding valuables and basking in the molten queso showers.

These Draconic mice are attracted to the natural eruptions that periodically occur and will roost nearby until one happens. Luckily, those clever geologists have found that you can create an all-natural barrier using cork and other materials found nearby to plug up the geyser and cause artificial eruptions allowing one to purposefully attract the geyser-dwelling dragons!

You will need to hunt the more timid mice in the area that come out when the geyser is least active. Catching them will award you with valuable Cork Bark that you can use to craft a cork and plug up the geyser, starting a build-up of pressure.

Once corked, the geyser will start to rumble and build pressure, scaring away the timid mice and bringing about the ones who thrive in and around the newly created high-pressure environment. As these mice are caught, their explosive energy will be captured and cause the pressure contained inside the geyser to build until it inevitably explodes!

During the cheesy eruption, the most powerful dragons of the area come out to stake claim to the delicious queso and to all the shiny and valuable materials that shake lose. If you can capture any of these mice, they will drop some of their impressive loot into the Dragon Nest.

When the eruption calms and these dragons leave, you will be able to safely loot the nest and see what valuable treasures they have left behind!

Good luck hunters, may you strike it rich!
