b. The Mountain and the Burroughs
For those of you continuing from Part 1, I’m glad to have you continuing with me. For those of you who are new to this guide, welcome- I hope this can provide answers to all of the questions that you have about the game and how to progress as a journeyman or master.
Quick Recap
Very quickly for those who did not read the prior, here’s where we are at right now:
- You should hopefully have the Swiss Army Mouse Trap.
- You should be using the explosive base. If you don’t have it yet, that’s fine- make it a point to get one, though.
- You should be using Swiss cheese. If you are using something different, make the switch now.
- You can either come here, to the Mountain, or you can go to the other journeyman area, the Calm Clearing. To get there, you need the map dropped by a Granite mouse. Check the Whisker Woods section for more info.
Got it? Great! Let’s begin.
JOURNEYMAN
Well, another rank, another area. Hopefully the Harbour has been good to you and you’ve got quite a few interesting mice in your collection along with a decently powerful trap and some gold to spend. Things don’t change much in the mountains, so you are more or less prepared for what is ahead. Stock up on Swiss cheese (a couple hundred, maybe) and get going! If you were trying one of the other strategies that involved using marble or white cheddar, it’s time to drop it. Swiss cheese all the way now.
The Mountain
(If you don’t have the explosive base, don’t worry- just get one ASAP)
Not much to say about the mountains, really. As you have probably noticed, there are few white, grey or brown mice anymore, which means you get to catch a LOT more dwarf, steel & granite mice. This is good- lots of gold, lots of more interesting mice.
The mouse that you are looking for: the ninja mouse.
The ninja mouse drops another map piece; in this case, it drops a map to the first part of the next area, the Burroughs! Of course, there’s not much you can do to make it happen faster, you really just have to keep hunting and keep praying! The ninja isn’t too hard- you should get one just fine. One thing to remember is that if the ninja does NOT drop the map the first time, don’t panic- they don’t always drop it, and I’m sure you’ll find another fairly quickly.
Now, there are a couple of other things that you will probably run into while you’re in the mountains. These things are “loot”, or items that the mice drop.
One of these things is Splintered Wood, dropped by dwarf mice. You won’t get many of these, but you’ll probably get one or two. Splintered Wood is used in crafting, and for your purposes it is used to craft the Dehydration Base. If you can get 4 pieces before you leave, then great! Once you reach master, I’ll remind you to craft it.
The other item is the Brie Alchemy Potion. You may have seen this in the harbour as well, but you’re much more likely find a couple in the mountains from Bionic mice. What are these for? Well, by using the potion, you can transform other cheeses (cheddar, marble and Swiss) into Brie cheese. If you get them, use them on Swiss cheese. You’ll basically end up with 20 pieces of Brie that only cost you 150 gold apiece instead of 200 gold apiece. Sweet, huh.
The Next Trap: Forcefield, Deathbot? Or none at all?
The next (and really only) big thing for you at this point is to consider the ultimate traps sold in the Gnawnia Trapsmith- the NVMRC Force Field Trap and the Mouse Deathbot. Now, as you may be thinking right now, “HOLY MOLY! That’s a lot of money!”, and you’re absolutely right- it’s a near obscene amount, particularly at this point in the game. So the question, more than which of those traps to get, is this: Do you need it at all?
First, ask yourself a question: why do you want it? You want it to catch stronger, better mice, right? Of course! Naturally, to do that you DO need a better mousetrap. However, there’s only one problem- starting VERY soon (it will be explained when it occurs), you’re going to stop encountering more powerful mice that are catchable with any of your normal traps anyway. The more difficult mice are not incredibly powerful, but instead are of a different “type”, so that only special traps can catch them.
Now, as a result of this, both the NVMRC and the Deathbot become a whole lot less useful, because you can’t really use them past the next area, the Laboratory. So the real question is, is it worth ALL that money just to be able to catch almost every mouse in the mountains and in the lab, which are the only places you will use it?
The short answer? No
The longer answer? Probably Not. However, there’s never a right answer to this question, more of a general piece of advice. Here’s the rundown of your soon-to-be costs as a result of hunting in some forthcoming areas: you’re going to need 140,000 for a new trap fairly soon, and you’ll also need at least 150,000 gold to buy Radioactive blue, a very expensive type of cheese. So that’s 290,000 gold that you have to get in a rather small amount of time from now.
Not only that, but as you may know from reading the Whisker Woods section, you’ll also be purchasing another trap over there for almost 300,000 gold.
Can you really afford 256,000 on top of all of those costs?
Most people can’t, and so the general recommendation is this- if you don’t have the trap already, don’t buy it. If you were able to pick up one as an apprentice because you somehow made a LOT of money, then great! If you don’t have it now and you’re not close, don’t plan on buying it.
Here’s the thing: almost all of the mice in the lab are the same as the mice in the mountains, and you’re doing just fine with the Swiss Army in the mountains, are you not? So it stands to reason that you will do equally well in the lab.
HOWEVER, what if you really DO want one of these traps? Which one are you going to use? Decisions, decisions. Let’s fall back on our old reliable table comparison again! If we assume you’re using the explosive base, we get this:
There’s a few things to look at. First, the Deathbot gives about a 5% increase in damage over the Force Field. Second, the NVMRC has 10 more luck. Third, the Deathbot has a degree of cheese staleness that is one level higher (or lower, if you prefer) than the NVMRC. So, of those stats, what matters?
Well, the power is almost pointless to compare when it’s this high; who really cares. And since stale cheese isn’t a bad thing, but at the same time is not some crucial “You need as much as possible” thing, we don’t care much about cheese effect either. So ultimately, the NVMRC wins by a landslide from a lack of things to care about; 10 luck is a HUGE improvement that you will notice if you use the two traps side-by-side.
Making Money
While we’re on the subject of buying (or not buying) the NVMRC trap, let’s talk about how one makes money, in general. I mean, besides hunting for as many mice as possible. Because from here on out, you’ll want (and even NEED) a new trap before you can afford to buy it, and so knowing how to speed up the process is very important.
- Competitions. As I said in the last part of the guide, the Events and Competitions forum is a GREAT place to get some extra cash if you are looking to pad your bank account. You usually win pretty modest amounts- 5-20 thousand. However, some pots are huge- 100 thousand, even up to a million gold! It is ALWAYS worth the time to look around the competitions forum for some prizes to win.
- Funding programs. As I said, you will ALWAYS be looking (somewhat desperately at times) for money to buy traps from here on out. However, the wealthier members of MH recognize this and will look kindly upon you and your efforts. They will gladly help you in your hunting by providing you with funding towards a new trap.
There are many programs around, but I’m not going to start pointing them out to you so that you can just join groups for the handouts- that’s not very cool. Instead, check the wiki to learn about all of the different communities you can get involved in. At least one will have what you are looking for, I’m sure. Who knows- you might even make some friends. - Donate. Yeah, I know this is the one thing that people want to avoid more than ANYTHING else, but really- there is nothing more effective. For 10 dollars you get over 500 pieces of SB+, each of which you can sell on the forums for thousands of gold apiece. It will solve almost any problem instantly and painlessly. Plus it helps the developers continue to work on the game instead of having to get real jobs and quit mousehunt. Bite the bullet, if you can- it’s worth it.
AAAAND that is about it. Once you get your lab map piece from the ninja mouse, you get to wait until you level up to master. While you’re waiting, you can head to the Calm Clearing and find a Cyclops Mouse to get the map piece to the Great Gnarled Tree as well if you haven’t already; it will give you a nice change of scenery, at least! Other than that- I hope you enjoyed Gnawnia, because we’re finally moving on. Time to go to the Burroughs!
MASTER AND THE BURROUGHS
Well, now you’re a master, and hopefully you have the Laboratory Map Piece that one gets from the Ninja Mouse . If you do not, then you need to get one, because you can NOT continue in the game without it.
Now, these areas are much further away than the other ones have been. That means that travel costs are MUCH more expensive than they have been in the past. As a result, we want to do our best to not travel any more than we absolutely have to. SO, let’s get all of our affairs straightened out right now.
First of all, you want to buy a lot of cheese so that you don’t have to come back later. Buy about 300 pieces of cheese. Yet again, we have to ask ourselves which cheese do we want to use? You can use two types: either Swiss cheese or Brie cheese. Some people go Swiss all the way and others absolutely swear by Brie. Here’s my take on it:
- Using Swiss cheese is more profitable than using Brie. You attract plenty of mice using Swiss cheese, and at 100 gold per piece, you’ll make a healthy profit from each mouse.
- Using Brie cheese will attract more mice to the trap, which means you’ll catch more mice overall. However, since it costs twice as much as Swiss cheese, it is not as profitable.
So if you want gold, use Swiss cheese. If you want more points, use Brie cheese. Also worth pointing out is that if you want to catch the rare Burglar Mouse and have not yet done so, buying a bit of Brie cheese might be in your interest anyway, because the Burglar is found in the lab.
If you want my advice, I suggest using Swiss cheese, because you’re going to need a lot of gold in order to buy the necessary materials to hunt in the final area of the Burroughs: the Mousoleum.
Let’s go to The Laboratory!
(For those of you who have not seen this yet, here is the Travel Planner. Using it allows you to find the cheapest route from point A to B; you can save a bundle on travel this way)
The Laboratory
The lab sure looks cool, doesn’t it. I’ll be honest, though- the lab is my absolute least favorite location in the entirety of MouseHunt. Sorry, I don’t mean to ruin your expectations, but here’s the thing- there are a total of three new mice in the lab, only two of which that you are likely to catch. The third mouse, the Monster Mouse, is incredibly rare and is one of the strongest mice in the game, so catching it is quite a challenge. And so basically it’s like the mountain, take two. Same mice, same challenges… things get boring here. Worse yet is that you will probably be here for a while.
Again, I hope that doesn’t sour you too much. However, at least now you know that if you get bored here, it’s not just you. And I can also guarantee that things get MUCH better as soon as you can get out of here.
So what are we trying to do here in the lab? Well, there are three main purposes to being here:
- To collect the next map. It’s called the Key to Digby (not really a map, but it works the same way) and it’s dropped by the Dwarf Mouse.
- To collect Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potions. These are used to make Radioactive Blue Cheese, a special kind of cheese that is particularly effective in the mousoleum.
- To make some money. As I will explain further down, you need QUITE a bit to progress further. Again, I hope you didn’t just blow all your money on a force field trap!
As locations go, the lab is pretty low-key. The Mutated Grey and Mutated White mice are the new mice that you’re going to see a lot of. They’re actually weaker than almost every other mouse in the lab, so you won’t have any trouble catching them. But again, that’s where the boredom comes from. Basically, you get to just sit here and hunt for a while. Our first target is the dwarf:
(Surely you know what he looks like by now- no need for a silhouette)
The dwarf is the weakest mouse in the lab, yet he’s also one of the hardest ones to snag. The reason for this is that they’re just plain scarce- took me a solid week before I saw mine! Patience is key, here- you can equip the target base to give your Swiss some extra attraction, but even then there are no guarantees.
When you’ve gotten the key to Digby from the dwarf, feel free to head to The Town of Digby.
The Town of Digby
There’s not much to the town of Digby. Yet again there’s really not much going on that’s anything special compared with the other areas. However, there are some surprises. One, the Mole Mouse makes an appearance here, and then there’s also the reclusive Bat Mouse, which is worth a healthy 3,000 gold and points per mouse. Don’t expect to see many of these guys, though- mostly it’s just the same old mice as you always see. There’s an abundance of Gold and Diamond mice, which is nice; you don’t see those in the Lab.
You’re looking for the Zombie Mouse. If you’ve been to the calm clearing and caught the Cyclops, you’re in for a treat- the zombie is identical in power to the Cyclops, so you won’t have any more trouble with the zombie than you did with the cyclops. As you might guess after your time with the ninja, not every one of them carries the map, so it can still take a bit of time. Once again, just be patient.
If you look at the general store, you can see that there is a new item for sale: the Living Shard. This can be used to make a special kind of cheese known as Limelight cheese. However, this cheese isn’t of much use to you right now- if you’re interested in its use, check out the Side Quests.
Other than that, you’re here to buy a trap… well, I THINK you’re here to buy a trap. You actually could skip an entire section of Mousehunt if you want (that being the mousoleum) and just go straight to the area after it.
See, the Mole Mouse in Digby has a special piece of loot: it carries the Shredded Furoma Map Piece. Once you have this map piece, you can go to the next area of the game, Furoma (Once you reach the rank of Grandmaster, anyway). Now, most hunters get this map piece in a different way; they get it from the Lycan Mouse found in the Mousoleum. However, in order to do that you have to gear yourself up for the hunt in the mousoleum… and honestly, many hunters are just too lazy to want to bother with such things.
SO, IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THE MOUSOLEUM ALTOGETHER:
Simple, really. Just hunt in Digby until you catch a Mole Mouse with the map. Once you get it, feel free to do whatever you want until you reach Grandmaster. Fair warning, though- this method takes forever, for two reasons. First, it takes a long time to get the mole mouse with the map for most people, and Second, you won’t level up very fast at ALL. Most leveling as a Master comes from hunting in the Mousoleum, and so you’re going to just inch along ever so slowly towards Grandmaster, to the point that you very well might quit from boredom.
You can head back to Whisker Woods to speed things along, but nothing competes with the mousoleum when you’re a master.
So yeah, I don’t really recommend you try this strategy. Instead, I highly recommend you plan to go to the mousoleum and brave its trials. Are you ready, perhaps? Then let us begin the preparation!
Mousoleum: Preparations
OK, here comes the fun part! Time to have some real adventure. I warn you- the Mousoleum is not for the faint of heart, and a LOT of preparation goes into it, so you better be prepared to prepare!
All right, I admit- it’s just a game, and a passive one at that. Still, this area can break some hunters. They’ll give up because they just can’t figure things out. But as was true in the Harbour, that’s not going to be you, OK? OK!
Now, if you have the mousoleum map (and I’m assuming you do since you’re reading about the best way to use said map) then you’ve probably noticed how these mice are different from all of the mice you’ve read about before. When you go to the “Burroughs Mice” page, you see that they are all of the “Shadow” type. This shadow type renders your trap obsolete- you can see this when you look at the difficulty of all of the shadow mice- it’s ridiculously high. Rather than try to outmuscle these mice, we’re going to try another technique: we’re going to hit them where it hurts. Strike their weakness, and such. They’re shadow mice, and so we need… a shadow trap!
Furthermore, if you read the map description, it mentions that the mice like Radioactive Blue cheese. Hm… the same Radioactive Blue that is made from potions found in the lab!
SO, there are two aspects to hunting in the Mousoleum. First, you need a trap and then secondly you need some cheese to use with it.
The Trap
For the trap, we head to Digby! If you look at the Trapsmith, he’s got quite a few different traps available that you’ve never seen before. Immediately you’ll be presented with two traps: the Sinister Portal and the Ambrosial Portal. If you notice… a-ha! They’re shadow traps!
Once again we are at a crossroads: which portal do we want? First, we DON’T want the Bottomless Grave- it’s way out of our price range. Later on you may buy it, but I’m talking WAY later (hero rank and up) So we’ve got the portals:
You’ll use the explosive base. You may be tempted to use the Dehydration base if you got it, but you don’t want to- the explosive base has more than a 10% power bonus over the dehydration base and all you get to show for it is 4 luck. Luck IS good- goodness knows that I’d be lying if I said otherwise since I picked the trebuchet over the rocketine. However, in this case raw power is pretty important- stats have shown that the high power of the explosive base makes a noticeable difference.
Now, which portal do we choose?
The sinister portal has more power- hard to miss that. The Ambrosial has more attraction and has fresher cheese- again, can’t miss that. Which is more important, though? The simple answer is that either one will work just fine. Really. The difference isn’t big enough to really matter.
However, if you want my opinion, go with the Sinister Portal. See, the cheese you use has a REALLY high rate of attraction, and so you really don’t need the attraction bonus, and cheese effect only matters when you don’t attract, and again, you’re always attracting, so almost nothing goes stale anyway. But power is important in the mousoleum. As you will soon learn, it’s tough. So the more power you can get, the better. Not to mention that once you reach the rank of Grandmaster, you actually need Radioactive Sludge (you get this from stale Radioactive Blue rather than stale cheese)- that being said, all the more reason to use your sinister portal.
It’s worth noting that those who have the Chrome Nannybot can skip the portals forever, as it’s a much better shadow trap. Same goes for the Pumpkin Pummeler.
You should also plan to use the magma base, if you have it. Great base in the mousoleum!
The Cheese
Now, as I’ve already mentioned, reading the description on the mousoleum reveals that we need a special cheese in the mousoleum, and that cheese is Radioactive Blue (no, not Bleu). So, how do we get this cheese? Well, you’ve probably already figured it out; you have to use those Radioactive Blue Curd Potions that you got in the lab. I sure hope you weren’t using those things, because I never said you should, and you kind of need them!
So you’ve probably got a few. I can’t really say how many you need, though- it depends on what you are willing to do. As you can clearly see, you can use it in two VERY different ways: you can use it for Brie, or you can use it for SuperBrie+. So, which one are you going to use?
This is a problem for many hunters. There are pros and cons to both options, and it’s up to you to decide which way you want to go about things. You’ve got 3 options, really. One, you can use brie. Two, you can purchase SuperBrie+ from other players and use it, and Three, you can donate to get SuperBrie+
- If you use Brie, you get the cheap option. At 500 gold per piece (200 to buy the brie, 300 to convert), it’s cheap Radioactive Blue. I know, doesn’t make sense, but I’ll explain in a minute. Anyway, this is the cheapest route, but the tradeoff is that you can only convert 10 pieces with each potion. The rule of thumb for preparing to hunt in the mousoleum is that you should have 300 pieces. That’s 30 potions. So, do you have the patience to collect 30 potions from the lab? If yes, then use brie.
- If patience isn’t your style, then you can buy SuperBrie+ on the trading forums. Only need 10 potions that way, which saves time. However, the catch is that there’s a MUCH higher cost. Despite the conversion being free, you have to pay other people for their SB+, and it doesn’t come cheap. SB+ costs thousands of gold, and that makes profit absolutely impossible.
So this isn’t an option for profits- what IS it for? Simple: you do this because you want to get there as fast as you can and finish as fast as you can. The less time spent looking for Radioactive Blue Curd Potions, the better. Hey, if that’s your outlook, SB+ cannot be beat. Just be prepared to pay through the nose. - Now, if you’re willing to donate to get SB+, disregard both prior statements. The SB+ allows you to maximize potion use and it is free and so you make pure profit off of every piece you use. The catch is that you have to spend real money. If you’re willing to donate, DO IT. Look at it this way- donations are what keep Mousehunt going and so in a way, everyone wins.
Of the options, I tend to recommend the first one. It’s what I did and it’s what most people do. If you don’t like gathering potions, then I have only this to say: stop complaining, we used to only make 5 pieces of RB per potion.
OH, and one more thing while I’m thinking about it- if you are having problems finding potions, it’s not just you. EVERYONE goes through dry spells in the lab and can’t seem to ever find the radioactive blue curd potions. The developers have not changed the drop rate of potions and nothing is suddenly undergoing some massive change in an attempt to make things harder for you. Suck it up and tough it out- you’ll be fine.
OK, I think that about does it for preparations.
So, Preparations in Brief:
Go to Digby and purchase a shadow trap- I recommend the sinister portal. Use the explosive base. Next, collect Radioactive Blue Potions. 30 if you want to use brie, 10 if you want to use SB+. Convert as many of them as you can afford to convert into Radioactive Blue and equip your trap- it’s GO TIME.
The Mousoleum
Well, this is it! You’re finally here- are you excited yet? You should be, because if you’re not, this place is going to grind you up and spit you out into more pieces than I can count. No, I’m not kidding- Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the most infamously difficult part of MouseHunt. The mice here are tough, they’re mean, and your trap sucks.
However, there is a plus side- every single shadow mouse is worth a truckload of points and gold. OK, not the vampire- the vampire is only worth 900 gold. However, they are rare and you’re not supposed to like the vampire anyway. The REST of the mice are awesome, though.
I’ve compiled some lessons that you need to learn to hunt successfully in the Mousoleum, so follow along with me, please.
Lesson one is very simple- You must use the prescribed traps and the prescribed cheese
The mousoleum is unlike any area you have been to before. You cannot just try something and hope it works- you have to do it the way the game intended for you to do it or it will send you packing. This means that you must use a portal (or the partybot) and you must use Radioactive blue.
If you don’t use the right trap, the shadow mice will decimate you- you basically can not catch them.
And as for Radioactive Blue: If you use any cheese but radioactive blue, no mouse will come to your trap. You will receive the message “My cheese failed to attract a mouse” more times than even when you were a novice using cheddar cheese. This includes even SB+! The mousoleum mice will not come to your trap without radioactive blue. Don’t try it- it’s a waste of time and energy.
Next we come to lesson number two about the mousoleum- The mousoleum is tough, but you are tougher.
You will miss a lot of mice here. They will eat your cheese, they will steal your gold and they will steal your points. It will happen a lot, and you will get frustrated, guaranteed. However, you will not give up. The reason you will not give up is because I told you not to, but if you need a better reason, it’s because with every ghost you catch, you undo probably 4 red boxes that you got. As a matter of fact, the average hunter doubles their investment if they hunt in the mousoleum using 500-gold-per-piece Radioactive Blue. That’s right: you can expect to earn an average of 1000 gold for each piece of cheese that you use. It’s an incredible number and blows all other places out of the water. The important thing is to REMEMBER this as you are hunting. When you miss 6 mice in a row, don’t panic. Just remember that it will get better. It may not get better right away- some people have streaks that last a few hours where they catch nothing.
However, this is why you brought 300 pieces of Radioactive Blue cheese along. The sheer volume of cheese allows you to ride the bad waves and to get some good ones, too.
(By the way, if you caught this earlier, you don’t have to convert all 300 pieces at once. Just buy all 300 pieces of Brie or SB+ and then you can convert 1 potion at a time. That way you don’t have to have 150,000 or 300,000 gold saved up just to buy cheese!)
Lesson number three about the mousoleum- You are not meant to catch the Vampire, Lycan or Monster Mouse
These three mice are obscenely difficult for your piddly sinister portal to catch. The vampire is a particularly nasty customer who has a habit of stealing your cheese as well as stealing 3000 gold. It hurts, I know. Take consolation in knowing that the developers have explicitly stated that you’re SUPPOSED to hate the Vampire; it has no redeeming qualities.
As for the Monster and the Lycan: the Monster Mouse is a physical mouse, so your trap will not be very effective against it. That’s OK- the Monster Mouse is a very tough mouse to catch, and many people can go the way that they did with the Mole Mouse and just skip it for a very long time.
And the Lycan… well, the Lycan’s just a brutally tough mouse. Not much else you can say about that.
Lesson four- Despite Lesson three, you have to catch a Lycan Mouse
Wha…? Yeah, that’s right- you have to catch a Lycan mouse. See, you didn’t just come to the mousoleum to make some gold. You’ll do that too, but you have a specific intention in mind: your goal is to catch the Lycan Mouse to get a Shredded Furoma Map Piece. This map piece is what allows you to access the next portion of the game, reserved for grandmasters.
So, how does one catch this Lycan mouse? The simple answer is that you pray to the Gods of mousehunt (or just pray to the Real God) for a really weak/stupid/drunk/whatever Lycan mouse to come across your trap and get caught.
Or, more realistically, this is the second reason I said bring 300 pieces of Radioactive Blue cheese. This way you can play the waiting game. You simply have to wait until you catch it, and there’s nothing else you can do.
Now, there IS a way to sort of speed the process along; that’s through the use of Moon Cheese. If you hunted for any great length of time in Digby, you may have come across a peculiar item from one of the granite mice: a Meteorite Piece. This meteorite piece is only dropped by Granite Mice in Digby and is designed to be used in the creation of Moon Cheese. So, how does one make this cheese? It’s a simple recipe, really:
3 Curds & Whey + 2 Magic Essence + 1 Meteorite Piece = 1 Moon Cheese
So we know how to get Curds & Whey and we know where the meteorite piece comes from, but what about Magic Essence? Well, if you read up on crafting stuff earlier, you know that you have to go into your crafting page and use your hunter’s hammer to smash some SB+. Smashed SB+ becomes magic essence, and we need 2 magic essence to make moon cheese.
So some quick math, here… yep, that’s 6000 gold for a single piece of moon cheese. Eep! Not a good investment at ALL. However, if you cannot seem to get the Lycan mouse, use moon cheese. It doesn’t guarantee that you will catch the mouse, but a WHOLE LOT more lycan mice will come to your trap if you’re using moon cheese.
Of course, there’s a final option- go back to hunting mole mice for the map. I know, not glamorous, but if you simply can’t catch a Lycan, what else can you do, really.
Finishing up the Burroughs
That about sums up the method of hunting in the mousoleum. Basically you hunt until you run out of cheese. When you do, you go back to the lab and collect more potions to start the process over again. You have two goals, really.
- Get to grandmaster- nothing will level you up faster than catching mice in the mousoleum
- Get 384,000 gold. The next trap costs 299,000 gold, and the following bit will cost an additional 95,000. Once again, suck it up- the mousoleum gives GREAT money, and so you just need to tighten your belt and forge ahead. I point you to the forums for competitions and to the programs available to help you buy the trap, just like I always do.
And then, the smoke clears and the dust settles. You walk out of the Mousoleum a richer and wiser mousehunter, clenching the shredded furoma map piece in hand. You’re a grandmaster, and it’s time to go to Furoma.
