Jungle of Dread

Jungle of Dread

Named by the tribes, this dangerous jungle is home to some of the most terrifying mice ever discovered. Long ago the leaders of the tribes discovered a spicy cheese made with peppers capable of distracting the mighty beasts of the jungle. This peppered bait may be the key to luring these mice to a trap…

Overview

The Jungle of Dread is home to six very powerful mice, all of whom are only attracted to one specific Havarti cheese.

These mice each drop a different item of loot that is used to craft a special trap that is used to hunt for the Acolyte Mouse.

The Jungle is also home to one weaker mouse, that drops the Vanilla Bean used to craft Vanilla Stilton cheese for use in Balack’s Cove.

    A Hunter’s Title of at least .
    Have crafted the Ocean Navigation Kit.
    A Shadow Weapon.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:

Hunting Tips by Larry

My knowledge of this area is woefully inadequate, due to my total knee-knocking fear of entering here. Maybe when you learn some things about this area, you can give me some tips. How does that sound?

 

New Mice

Mice Populations

We currently do not have enough results for Mice Populations.

 

Each of the 6 power mice here has their own preference of a specific brand of havarti cheese.

The only choice of cheese you have is when hunting for the Swarm of Pygmy Mice. Gouda is the cheaper option, but other cheese will work as well.

Goals

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

Collect the Loot for the Ancient Box Trap

Each of the six powerful mice in the Jungle drop one loot item required for crafting the Ancient Box Trap, therefore you will need to catch at least one of all the mice.

We have very limited information on the likelyhood of each mouse dropping, but it’s probably worth planning to catch four of them to give yourself a good chance of obtaining the loot.

 

Collect Fire Salt

After collecting the 6 pieces of loot the main reason to hunt in the Jungle of Dread is to collect Fire Salt for use in Inferno Havarti.

Generally hunting for the Primal mouse is the best way to collect Fire Salt, Yellow Pepper Seeds are also the easiest to collect.

 

Collect Runic Potions

Runic Potions are dropped by the following mice: Chitinous (up to 2), Fetid Swamp (up to 1), Jurassic (up to 2), Magma Carrier (up to 3), Primal (up to 1) and Stonework Warrior (up to 1).

If you’re trying to collect these potions, the obvious choice is the hunt for the Magma Carrier, as they have the greatest potential drop, even though they are the hardest of the mice to catch.

Collecting Runic Potions offers further potential returns when used against the Acolyte, sometimes the Mysterious Box dropped by Acolytes contains additional Fire Salt.

 

Collect Vanilla Beans

Vanilla Beans are dropped quite regularly by the Swarm of Pygmy Mice.

A powerful Shadow trap will obviously help in catching this mouse, and high luck will encourage the Swarm of Pygmy Mice to drop slightly more often.

While it is possible to use Vanilla Stilton to get more Vanilla Beans, it is not recommended.

Due to a higher attraction rate and a lower encounter rate of Sylvans. you will get more Swarm of Pygmy mice with Vanilla Stilton than you would with Gouda.

If your trap is strong enough to catch most of these mice, you will obviously get more Vanilla Beans dropping.

Thank you to all who have contributed so far and will do so in the future.

 

This article contains information relevant to MouseHunt v3.

  1. please use magma less often cos alot people missed magma… including me. n i really need help on jod

  2. Sam Siebert says:

    Initial results for v3 suggest that the blends of Havarti now have a very high attraction rate, and encounter very few, if any, Sylvans.

  3. what happened to the crunchy stats? theres only the other 5 listed there

  4. Well… the problem now with fire salt is to decide which is better… the clockapult of time or the cackle lantern… both with MSB would be good choices… and maybe the cloka gives more catches buut… do the random 2 fire salt drops make a difference even though you maybe catch less mice on the big run???

    that’s a gooood question xD hopefully you guys can tell us :)

  5. drew2k14 says:

    Is Sinister portal effective in catching the six mice here? or i really need to farm for clockaput?

    • It’s possible to catch these mice with the Sinister Portal, but it’ll be very tough and you might need to collect quite a bit of havarti cheese in preparation.

      If you don’t have the pumpkin pummeler you’ll want to pick up the clockapult eventually.

    • MonkeyMouse says:

      I am in a similar situation and will be aiming to collect the ABT parts soon. I have the PP, but it is not that much more powerful than the portal traps (mainly just 5 luck). So I’m going with option 3 – Gorogon trap. At 1.8 mil gold less than the CoT I think it is a decent option until I have the points to craft the Cackle Lantern.

      • Gorgon is a good choice when you have no gold :P …i crafted only 6 of each harvati, and only with those I get the 6 pieces for the ABT :D

        1,8 mil is realy a LOT of gold.. and i really think COT doesn’t worth it

  6. Hi Paul, which one would you advise me to buy? Tha Clockapult of Time or Gorgon Trap? And can you please state the reasons? Thanks a lot! xD

    • Depends on how much gold you have.

      If you can save up for the Clockapult do so, if that seems like a long way away and you want to get the Ancient Box Trap sooner then go for the Gorgon.

  7. Tienie Beukes says:

    I am a Knight and have a problem with Fire Salt. Although I have “caught” several in the loot, I have none in my inventory. Why would that be???

  8. Tienie Beukes says:

    Please help. I am a “Knight” and have looted several Fire Salts, but it shows no-where in my inventory…

  9. I think 4cheese is pretty sufficient to catch at least one of each. Used soul catcher, tiki base and dreaded charm. Dreaded charm helped alot in the catching of mouse i think.
