Revision as of 15:22, 29 January 2013

While there's no Grubling Mice in the area, slime trails indicate they've been through here. Perhaps they've been bringing food or something else to the immense and powerful King Grub Mouse that lives in the area?

Description and Requirements

The Sand Crypts is a location in the Sandtail Desert region requiring a minimum rank of Baron/Baroness and the Living Garden Key to enter. It is the alternate version of the Sand Dunes, and can only be accessed after catching a Carmine the Apothecary in the Living Garden and being transported to the Twisted Garden.

Using the wrong cheese will transport the hunter back to the Sand Dunes.

Shops

These are the shops that can be found in the Living Garden:

Hunting Strategy

King Grub Minigame

This minigame is not 'activated' in the usual sense. To play, a hunter needs to arm Grub Salt Charms and hunt normally. As the player catches mice, the salt meter will increase (i.e. the King Grub Mouse will be weakened), although the meter is capped at a maximum of 50 salt. The hunter can use Grub Scent Charms whenever he/she wants to to attract the King Grub Mouse; hunting before completely filling the meter is more difficult, but may result in fewer net essences spent over the course of the minigame. The meter will reset after successfully catching the King Grub, with the following message in the Hunter's Journal:

Whoa, the King Grub mouse nearly wrecked my trap! He definitely dislodged all the salt and left his ah... distinct smell about the place! I'll need to re-salt and scent my trap before attracting another one.
I should unequip my Grub Scent Charms and save them for later.

A hunter can choose to arm a Shattering Charm instead of a Grub Scent Charm to attract a King Scarab mouse.

Hunting tips by Larry

You're going to need a lot of Graveblossom Camembert here. The mice in these crypts don't seem to like anything else! Plus, any other cheese just doesn't feel... appropriate here in this world.

There don't seem to be any grublings in these crypts, but there's definite evidence they've been here, with slime trails littering the ground. At any rate, Grubling Chow Charms won't help here.

Instead, listen close and you'll hear the roar of the King Grub Mouse. He's huge, and powerful, and up to no good! Now, while catching him is definitely in your best interests, he's not going to be an easy fight!

First, you'll need to liberally apply coatings of salt to your trap by purchasing and using Grub Salt Charms, then when you feel you've salted your trap enough, purchase and use some Grub Scent Charms to draw him to your trap and steal his Garden Essences.

The King Grub Mouse is hoarding Garden Essences, but why?
