Salt Mines

The Salt Mines is one of the mythical locations that does not actually exist.

History

The Salt Mines were originally "created" on the MouseHunt forums as a way of humorously dealing with the influx of players asking what all the crates, poles, and ropes were on the map just to the north of the Mountain. In fact, these map decorations are merely leftovers from a October, 2008 visit from Ronza's Traveling Shoppe.

How to Get There

There is a well-accepted (yet, of course, completely bogus) method for gaining access to the Salt Mines. Many of the steps necessary to reach the Mines are also impossible and involve non-existent aspects of the game:

• The player must catch the extremely rare Kamikaze Mouse in the Training Grounds. To accomplish this, hunters employ the use of Green Tea Cheese, as it has a better chance of attracting the Kamikaze Mouse than any other variety of cheese. The Green Tea Cheese is purchased at the Pagoda, which is in the Training Grounds.
• Sometimes, the Kamikaze Mouse will drop the Salt Mines Work Permit, similar in spirit and purpose to the map pieces, cloths and keys that are necessary to enter various locations in the Burroughs and Training Grounds.
