That's You!
Yup! You need to be at the Hero rank before bothering to make your first Havarti Cheese. That's because it's the rank needed to step into the Jungle of Dredd.

But it's highly likely that you are well into this rank by the time you reach here. The Pepper Trail will see to it that you go round and round, gathering enough seeds and peppers to be able to gain enough to craft your Havarti Cheeses.

So, Havarti Hero, read on for the recipes...

ANCIENT BOX TRAP
There's more than one reason why the Jungle of Dread earns it's name.

The obvious reasons are that it's hard and you'd need a strong Shadow Trap.

Then there's all the different Havarti cheese you'd need to make and bring there.

And of course, the choosy mice won't necessarily drop the piece of the Ancient Box Trap just because you caught them.

So here's the trap recipe with a cheat sheet mapping to the Dread Mouse and the relevant Havarti Cheese.

1 x Ancient Box Trap Blueprints - See The ABT Blueprints Pieces
1 x Ancient Relic Staff - Jurassic mouse / Creamy Havarti
1 x Encrusted Metal of Time - Magma Carrier mouse / Spicy Havarti
1 x Engraved Solid Stone Slab - Stonework Warrior / Magical Havarti
1 x Ethereal Rope - Primal mouse / Sweet Havarti
1 x Hinge of Eternity - Fetid Swamp mouse / Crunchy Havarti
1 x Timeless Mystic Gem - Chitinous mouse / Pungent Havarti

A trap design that has long withstood the test of time. The parts of this trap emit a powerful glow capable of mesmerizing power-hungry, greedy mice. The heavy stone box teeters precariously upon the Ancient Relic Staff awaiting a mouse to pull the Ethereal Rope and cause the box to slam shut and magically fuse with the base. It is only this simple, long-forgotten trap that is capable of defeating the powerful Acolyte mouse.

So Ronza's gone.

Mouse hunters are still scouring the land trying to stomp out the last of the Rocker mice.

And a perhaps even a few more Hollowheads before they finally return to their dark corners.

What else is there to do?
Well, eagle-eyed hunters hanging on to Ronza's mooring lines had spotted a site construction yonder in the South of Gnawnia. Go to your Travel Map, see the large version of it and you'd spot these at the south (bottom) border of the Town of Gnawnia.

Or you could try clicking here: Full Map

I hear that it's opening soon.. :)
A Christmas Carnival place maybe?

Can't keep the ole pumpkin head down! The Hollowhead Mouse returns again this year.

This time, it drops Super Brie!

The forums list confirm catches at Training Grounds, Huntington and the Great Gnarled Tree. Add your findings here!

I wonder if we would see the other mice dress up..
See the Halloween Label..

A quick walkthrough / cheatsheet about Ronza's Rockin' Return.

Where she's moored..
Gnawnia, just outside of town, south of the Harbour.

How to get there..
Cheapest way from wherever you are? Stopover at the Town of Gnawnia FIRST. Then travel to Ronza's Travelling Shoppe. (895 gold)
Well, OK, if you're already at the Harbour, just hop directly over. (675 gold)

When does she leave?
About two weeks from 20th Oct 2009.

• Magma Base (Must buy!) 
• Giant Speaker (tactical) 
• Kraken Chaos (hydro) 

Things to Do There..

• Get Teddy Bear (hunt White mice) 

Things to Do From There..
Hunt down the Rockstar Mouse.

We now return you to your regular programming...

Rockstar Mouse

With a guitar in one paw and a mic in the other, catching this mouse will earn you one of the most face-melting rock experiences ever!! Lore warns that listening to this mouse play guitar could cause your ears to melt off and your head to explode in an awesome frenzy of excitement! "But I like R&B" you say? No! You have to listen to ROCK MUSIC. Haha, just kidding, you can listen to anything you want! ROCK ON! *wailing guitars*

Accidently brought in by Ronza, this Prize Mouse (and perhaps, seasonal mouse) is now plaguing the lands. Initially spotted at the Town of Gnawnia, the Town of Digby and the SS Huntington II ship, they have now spread to the Mountains, the Great Gnarled Tree and the Training Grounds.

And they're fussy eaters too - preferring only the Rockforth Cheese. The Rockin' Horse and the Dehydration Base is the minimum configuration that I've seen work thus far. But of course, set your best physical traps on it.

Interestingly, each caught Rockstar surrenders one of three colored satchels.


When opened, each satchel offers some goodies. The full list of goodies is not yet finalised, but except for the Ronzaburger, all other items are available via regular Mousehunt gameplay.

Rockforth Cheese

This electric mellow classic will make any mouse want to gorge themselves on its roque (fort) 'n roll goodness. Since it's crafted with all the hard-core awesomeness of a ten-minute drum solo, the flavor beats of up to eleven different kinds of cheese will strum a power chord on the taste buds of even the most reserved mice.

The Limited Edition cheese which attracts the Rockstar Mouse and other regular mice.

You have to hunt at Ronza's Shoppe. The Rockforth are only dropped by the Gold Mouse, the Diamond Mouse and the Nibbler Mouse. For best harvesting results, use Super Brie - Nibblers drop the most Rockforth. For those on a tight budget, the white cheddar works as decently as the Swiss Cheese and slightly worse than Brie.

Kraken Chaos ( 3,400 Hydro Power )

The final trap that Ronza has brought around in this trip. Great for calamari fans who love playing with their food and making them work too.

It's a decent trap for those that just reached the Huntington II ship and just about saved up for the Hydro Trap. Otherwise we all do have a lot of gold sitting around, don't we?

Remember that you will still need to buy the starter hydro traps to form the Ancient Spear Gun. And if you already own the ASG, there is no advantage gained with this trap.

Ok, you have 2 weeks to earn this Limited Value Edition trap.

Power Type: Hydro
Power Bonus: n/a
Attraction Bonus: n/a
Luck: 18
Cheese Effect: Very Stale

Cost: 860,000 gold
Points Required: 843,500
Refund for 154,800 gold

This trap offers mice the thrill of the open ocean, with a great piece of cheese and the wind blowing through their fur... of course, they'll also have a giant, grabby squid to keep them company. With eight arms and two tentacles contending for the catch, this trap just has to get the mouse one way or the other. It's also a favorite of humane hunters, as the squid much prefers to eat fish.

Now I'm hungry...
By the way, has anyone yet dared to spend money on this trap, to hunt Hydras at the Lagoon to "save money" on the Ship Blueprints? If it works well, this trap could well be the game-breaker for Hydro Traps, much like the PartyBot is for Physical Traps.. Let me know here!

Giant Speaker ( 2,850 Tactical Power )

Interesting trap that Ronza brought about. And with this shipment, a whole lot of RockStar mice also came along and infested many locations in Gnawnia.

Apart from the Limited Edition status, discussion board opinions are mixed about the worth of getting this trap.

Power Type: Tactical
Power Bonus: 5%
Attraction Bonus: 5%
Luck: 22
Cheese Effect: No Effect

Cost: 612,800 gold
Points Required: 91,000
Refund for 110,304 gold

This trap is guaranteed to harsh any rocker's mellow. The minute a mouse comes into the range of the ring of microphones, the slightest noise is amplified a billion times, rocketing them across the room on a wave of sound. Collecting mice is a cinch when they're disoriented and temporarily hard of hearing.

Has anyone caught Rockstars with this trap?

Magma Base ( 300 Power )

The strongest base (power+attraction+luck boosts considered) currently available in MouseHunt for now and the most stale-cheese making.

This is decidedly the BEST BUY of Ronza's visit. Every hunter should strive to get this base first and foremost, before working/begging for the rest of the traps.

Power Bonus: 8%
Attraction Bonus: 5%
Luck: 10
Cheese Effect: Insanely Stale

Cost: 374,700 gold
Points Required: 238,200
Refund for 67,446 gold

Carved from the turbulent molten rock at the base of Mt. Dracano, the Magma Base reflects the more dangerous side of the tropics. Scientists haven't quite identified the gas that vents out of this rock yet, but they're sure of one thing: mice love it.

Ronza has a hard time carrying a lot of these, because they burn right through boxes and bags.

I wonder how one refunds this when Ronza leaves. Well, if one does decide to refund it, duh..
