Zugzwang's seasonal garden is the perfect destination for those who can't make up their mind about the weather. Every few days, the seasons shift, bringing with them a new crop of mice with different powers. Keep an eye out for the shards of an old key- they might provide the way into that mysterious locked tower.

Description and Requirements

Seasonal Garden is a location in the Rodentia region requiring a minimum rank of Lord or Lady and the Zugzwang's Scarf to enter.

The Seasonal Garden changes seasons every 80 hours. The current season is reflected on the travel map, allowing it to be monitored from outside the area. The Umbrella collectible is also affected by the current season.

Traveling out of the Seasonal Garden will not affect the Tower Amplifier's percentage.

Shops

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

Seasonal Garden Mice

Most mice in the Seasonal Garden are in the Seasonal Soldiers group. They have a weakness to Tactical weapons, as well as another power type depending on their season. The average points and gold rewards for the mice increase from the lowest in spring to the highest in winter. On days when the Relic Hunter can be found in the garden, catching one will increase the Tower Amplifier by 1%. However, M400, Glitchpaw, and Prize mice do not affect the amplifier.

Hunting Strategy

Cheese Usage

Standard cheese works in this area, but each time bait fails to attract a mouse, the Tower Amplifier is reduced by 3%, so many hunters prefer to use SUPER|brie+ due to the low attraction rate of Brie or Gouda. Hunters looking for Spring Familiar or Fall Familiar should equip SUPER|brie+ to increase the chance of encountering these two mice.

Use of Amplifier Charms, or the Limited Edition Chesla's Revenge weapon, increase the rate at which the tower amplifier is increased.

Hunting Tips by Larry

Welcome to the Seasonal Garden, MouseHunter!

I hope you brought a change of clothes with you, because the seasons around here shift every few days, bringing new weather, and new mice to trap.

If you're looking for a good general strategy, a tactical trap will perform well in any season. Most seasons also have another, secret weakness for Hunters to discover on their own, so experiment with different trap setups, and see what works. Be sure to keep an eye out for shards of the key to Zugzwang's Tower, as well- there's one shard hidden in every season.

As you catch mice in the garden, your Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause your Tower Amplifier to decrease.

When your amplifier is charged, it gives a power bonus to your trap when hunting in Zugzwang's Tower. When hunting in the tower your Tower Amplifier's charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to get a full charge before going in, because if you leave the tower, your amplifier will reset to zero.

The Season and the types of mice you can catch in the garden change every few days, so be sure to check back often!

Your Tower Amplifier boosts your trap's power inside Zugzwang's Tower. Catching a mouse in the Garden raises the Amplifier's charge, while failing to attract lowers it.
