Tier 2 (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.

Goals

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

Collecting Gauntlet Potions Tier 3

Teir 2 of the King’s Gauntlet is also known as the “thief floor” and is home to the mice who drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 3 required to progress through this location.
The mice found on Teir 2 are still quite weak and susceptible to physical traps, which makes catching them relatively easy. However, they appear to be a lot more reluctant to drop potions than their cousins on Tier 1.
Arming a high luck trap will help to increase your drop rates slightly.
