Tier 1 (King’s Gauntlet)

This many-storied tower is the King’s personal challenge to MouseHunters everywhere: anyone who can reach the top is among the kingdom’s elite. The King’s Gauntlet works on a tier system, with Hunters advancing to the next floor by hunting with cheese that they collect on the current floor. The Gauntlet is meant as a challenge for hunters of all skill levels, but in order to ascend to the very top, a Hero’s rank will come in handy.

Overview

The first tier of the King’s Gauntlet is also the easiest. With six mice that are all quite weak even Initiate hunters should have no trouble here.

Most traps you possess at this stage will work well, and most cheese can be used.

Unfortunately, in reflection of the ease of this tier of the Gauntlet, the rewards to be found here are quite small.

Hunters are advised to arm their luckiest trap in order to collect potions quickly and move on to the second tier.

 

Requirements

To hunt in the King’s Gauntlet – Tier 1 a Hunter must have:
    A Hunter’s Title of at least Initiate.
    Have purchased the King’s Gauntlet Floorplan from the Cartographer in the Harbour.
And it is recommended that a Hunter should have:
    Any Weapon.
    Any cheese.

 

New Mice

There are 6 new mice to be found in this location, all of which are very weak and can be attracted by most cheese.

> Hapless Marionette

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 King’s Gauntlet – Tier 1

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

Mouse (Known Cheese Preferences)		Group (Weaknesses)	Potential Loot		Drop Rate
	Clockwork Samurai	Gauntlet Gladiators (Tier One: Puppet Mice)		Gauntlet Potion Tier 2	Unknown
	Hapless Marionette	Gauntlet Gladiators (Tier One: Puppet Mice)		Gauntlet Potion Tier 2	Unknown
	Puppet Master	Gauntlet Gladiators (Tier One: Puppet Mice)		Gauntlet Potion Tier 2	Unknown
	Sock Puppet Ghost	Gauntlet Gladiators (Tier One: Puppet Mice)		Gauntlet Potion Tier 2	Unknown
	Toy Sylvan	Gauntlet Gladiators (Tier One: Puppet Mice)		Gauntlet Potion Tier 2	Unknown
	Wound Up White	Gauntlet Gladiators (Tier One: Puppet Mice)		Gauntlet Potion Tier 2	Unknown

 

Mice Populations

We currently do not have enough results for Mice Populations.

 

When hunting on Tier 1, most cheese will suffice.

Marble is probably the most economical to use.

Swiss will result in higher attraction rates and you should be able to catch most mice that you attract.

Brie will attract more mice, but you are likely to lose gold hunting with it.

Goals

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

Collecting Gauntlet Potions Tier 2

To progress to the next tier of the King’s Gauntlet a hunter will need to collect Gauntlet Potions Tier 2.

Fortunately, they are dropped by the most commonly encountered mice, and relatively frequently too.

The mice on Tier 1 are relatively weak and susceptible to physical traps. They shouldn’t pose a challenge to most hunters.

Arming a high luck trap will help to increase your drop rates slightly.
