Master - The game becomes interesting

Congratulations on your ranking to become a Master. Now a purple shield struck your profile page. So firstly, you should have...

1)Reached the Master rank (Obviously =.=)
2)Have Laboratory Map Piece dropped by Ninja Mouse from Mountain
3)Have Great Gnarled Tree Map Piece dropped by Cyclops Mouse from Calm Clearing
4)Swiss Army Mouse Trap with Dehydration Base
5)Stocked on 300 Swiss Cheese and 350 Brie Cheese
6)Mentally prepared for the upcoming obstacles

Now, you move to the inevitable Laboratory. It is a cool place, you get to play around with Radioactive things, thinking about it gives me goosebumps. Firstly, head on to Laboratory, arm your Swiss Army Mouse Trap and Dehydration Base and use Swiss Cheese. DO NOT USE BRIE! The reason you should not use brie is because... Read on to find out.

Firstly, hunt for a Dwarf Mouse, it drops a Key to Town of Digby, while hunting, you may try to collect some Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion. Collecting about 35 will do.

Looks cool eh? If you read effects, you get to create a NEW CHEESE, aren't you glad, using the same old Swiss Cheese bores everyone out. Also, check out the cool new mice, mutated and all the things, looks disgusting but COOL! Once you get your Key to Town of Digby, prepare around 140600 gold and 182000 points. You are getting a new trap.

Trapsmith (The PORTALS)
You can find 2 portal traps there, the Ambrosial Portal and the Sinister Portal. Lets look at their stats.

Power:1025
Power Bonus:0%
Attraction Bonus:5%
Luck:0
Cheese Effect:Fresh

Power:1025
Power Bonus:5%
Attraction Bonus:0%
Luck:0
Cheese Effect:Stale

Both traps look kind of pathetic isn't it, weaker than the Swiss Army Mouse Trap. But Wait, I forgot to add something, the Power Type, its Power Type is Shadow, something new to you.

Power type
Traps can only work against their type of mice, like Shadow works on shadow, physical works on physical. So your Swiss Army Mouse Trap would be rendered useless here, against the fearsome Shadow Mice. This is kind of simple, but there are many Power Types, Physical, Shadow, Tactical, Hydro, Draconic, Forgotten, Arcane and Parental. Parental is only useful against the Terrible Twos, an event mice.

So, which trap do we use? The Ambrosial or the Sinister. Judging from the stats, the Ambrosial clearly loses out. Let me explain why, Mousoleum is a place you can earn quite an amount of money, but the mice there are tougher than many mice you have ever faced. Since they are all attracted to Radioactive Blue Cheese, the attraction rate is not needed here, but the extra power helps out. Also, I mentioned that if you attract, you will not get stale cheese, but now is the time to get stale cheese, about 20 will do, but not just stale cheese. It must be staled Radioactive Blue Cheese. It will become Radioactive Sludge, needed to craft a even MORE powerful trap.

Since you got your trap, lets get the new map piece, the Tattered Mousoleum Map. This map is dropped by Zombie Mouse in Town of Digby, once you got the mouse, get at least 10000 gold. The cheese is quite expensive. Travel to Mousoleum and go to the Potions in your inventory tab. Convert as many cheese as you can, then arm your Sinister Portal and Explosive Base and start hunting. DO NOT USE OTHER CHEESE INCLUDING SUPER BRIE+, THEY WILL NOT ATTRACT ANYTHING TO YOUR TRAP! Try to get at least 299650 gold and 827500 points. Its best if you get another 90000 gold because there will be a new powerful base, better than the Explosive base. You will earn money quite quickly here, if you get enough money and still have Radioactive Blue Cheese, save it, you will be using them later. This is the most awesome time of your whole MouseHunt life, it is thrilling with every mice. Each catch may get you up to 9000 gold and 9000 points! THATS ALOT! Also, try to get the Lycan Mouse, it drops the Shredded Furoma Map Piece. It is a tough mouse to crack, quite hard to attract soon, but it will come. If you still cannot attract, you may go for the Moon Cheese.

1 Meteorite Piece + 2 Magic Essence + 3 Curds and Whey
= Moon Cheese



Meteorite Piece can be gotten from Granite mouse in Town of Digby while Magic Essence can be gotten from Smashing Super Brie+ (Read about it in the information bar). After you catch your Lycan Mouse, you are done with Mousoleum.

Great Gnarled Tree
Firstly, you should notice have some items ready.

1)You should have gone through the Mousoleum
2)You should have at least 299650 gold and 827500 points
3)You should have 20 Radioactive Sludge
4)You should have at least 100~200 Swiss Cheese

Ok, so you are ready to begin? Firstly, we must go SHOPPING! :D Visit the Trapsmith and there you can find a Venus Mouse Trap, buy it
down, you are going to need it now. We do not need to know the stats because, we are going to upgrade it IMMEDIATELY. Smash your Venus Mouse Trap and get a Venus Mouse Trap Husk. Craft it together with the 20 Radioactive Sludge and you will get the Mutated Venus Mouse Trap aka MVMT. Lets look at its stat.

Power:2300
Power Type:Tactical
Power Bonus:15%
Attraction Bonus:0%
Luck:8
Cheese Effect:Insanely Stale

You have gotten a new trap type, TACTICAL. This trap will work VERY well in Great Gnarled Tree, did I mention that there are still upgrades available for this trap!? This is going to be one of your most powerful trap. The total Power will be insane, but the problem is the attraction, so I suggest you use Dehydration Base again, let the cheese effect's Insanely stats cancel out each other to become No Effect. Also, the great gnarled tree will be the last place you will spend as a Master, so while hunting to 100% Master, try to catch the Fairy Mouse, it drops the Lagoon Map Piece, also hunt for Gnarled Potions. Many mice drops it in Great Gnarled Tree, it will be a useful bait in the Lagoon. Also, like the Mousoleum, only Gnarled Cheese will attract mice. Hunt here till you are a Master or if you wish, you can hunt in the Calm Clearing too, to get more Splintered Woods, since you now have a total of 12 Luck.

Good Luck in Ranking :D
