Acolyte Realm

Years ago in Bristle Woods, a MouseHunter by the name of Plankrun opened a passageway to another realm. The passage was intended to act as an elaborate one-way trap for Acolyte mice. However, recently, the Acolyte mice have had success in reversing the portal’s direction and are attempting to re-enter the Gnawnia Kingdom.

 

This article is currently out of date with the release of Longtail, we are adding the latest information as we find it.

Overview

The Acolyte Realm is in a far-off land that can’t be traveled to using normal methods. Instead, a hunter must travel to the Forbidden Grove and wait until that location “closes” to be transported here.
Once in the Acolyte Realm, the hunter is advised to use Runic Cheese and either a powerful Arcane trap (for good points and gold returns) or the Ancient Box Trap (for catching the Acolyte Mouse).

Requirements

To hunt in the Acolyte Realm a Hunter must have:
    A Hunter’s Title of at least Legendary.
    The Keeper’s Candle from a Keeper Mouse in the Catacombs.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:
    An Arcane or Forgotten Weapon.
    Runic Cheese.

Hunting Tips by Larry

We aren’t in Gnawnia anymore!

Look sharp, brave MouseHunter, for in this tower dwells an evil mouse known as the Acolyte. If you plan on attracting one to your trap you will need Runic cheese made from runes collected in the Forbidden Grove. Although, be warned: few traps are capable of doing any significant damage against an Acolyte.

Fear not, MouseHunter, for there is hope. Word has spread of an island located far off the eastern coast of Gnawnia where a trap was once constructed capable of defeating an Acolyte. Visit the General Store in the Catacombs where there are blueprints that show how to build a ship capable of sailing the open ocean.

New Mice

There are 3 new mice to be found in the Acolyte Realm.

Cheese and Mice

Here we give an overview of the mice that can be encountered in this location, and how often you can expect to see them using various cheese.

The Mice of the Acolyte Realm

Here is a breakdown of the various mice that can be found in the location, and what loot they might drop:

	Mouse	Power Type	Loot
	Acolyte	Arcane	Frozen Scroll Mysterious Box
	Black Widow	Physical	Super Brie cheese Radioactive Blue cheese
	Gate Guardian	Forgotten	None
	Golem	Forgotten	None
	Gorgon	Forgotten	None
	Lich	Forgotten	None
	Lich	Forgotten	None
	Mutated Grey	Indigenous Mice Unknown	Unknown
	Mutated White	Indigenous Mice Unknown	Unknown
	Sorcerer	Forgotten	Rune
	Spectre	Forgotten	None
	Wight	Forgotten	None

Mice Populations

Here is a breakdown of the populations of mice in the location based upon cheese used (these results come from our survey); the values given are a percentage of all attractions, and how many of these mice you are likely to attract in 100 hunts using base attraction:

	Mouse	Runic
	Acolyte	6.15% (6.00)
	Black Widow
	Gate Guardian
	Golem	26.23% (25.57)
	Gorgon	21.75% (21.20)
	Lich	6.44% (6.27)
	Sorcerer	9.15% (8.92)
	Spectre	23.93% (23.33)
	Wight	6.34% (6.18)
Hunts Submitted		33,089
Base Attraction Rate		97.48%

There isn’t really much of a choice in the Acolyte Realm, Runic cheese is required to attract the three new mice for this location.
Some hunters will want to try other cheese for the purposes of staling it in the Acolyte Realm.
Ancient cheese can be used in the Acolyte Realm. Over half of the mice attracted will be Gate Guardian mice.
Radioactive Blue cheese only attracts the Black Widow, Golem and Sorcerer mice in the Acolyte Realm, allowing hunters to collect some points, gold and runes while staling.

Setup Options

Here we present you with a selection of results from our survey to give you an idea of how well the various setups work, and what sort of results you may expect to see when using them. Please remember, if you do not see the setup you are interested in here, it is because we do not currently have enough hunts submitted with that setup. Please submit your hunts to our survey, and encourage others to do so too.

Here’s a quick overview of how the different power types perform overall:

Power Type		Performance	Comments
	Arcane		Very Effective against Gate Guardian, Golem, Gorgon, Lich, Sorcerer, Spectre and Wight mice, normal against Black Widow mice, Less Effective against Acolyte mice
	Draconic		Useless against all mice
	Forgotten		Normal against most mice, useless against Black Widow mice

Goals

Here is a selection of Goals that a hunter may like to achieve:

Catch an Acolyte Mouse

The Acolyte Mouse is one of the most powerful mice in the game.
The Acolyte Mouse can only be attracted using Runic cheese and is best caught using a Forgotten trap such as the Ancient Box Trap.
Hunters are advised to be patient with this mouse; collecting a large amount of Runic before hunting for it should help to avoid frustration.
