08 - Guide for Legendary Hunters

1. Craft the Ambush trap [Formula].
2. Travel to the Dojo (Furoma Region) and catch the 3 types of Student mice until you have enough Tokens to make Sucheese cheese, Combat cheese and Glutter cheese.
3. Travel to the Meditation Room and hunt for the 3 types of Master mice using the crafted cheeses.
4. Travel to the Pinnacle Chamber and hunt for the Master of the Dojo mouse using Rumble cheese [Formula] until you collect the Onyx stone.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4.
6. Once you have gathered enough 160,000 gold (plus travel costs) travel to the Bazaar (Burroughs Region) and get the Tattered Mousoleum Map fixed at the Cartographer. This takes one week to fix so it is worth travelling back to the Dojo and repeating steps 2 to 4 in the meantime (or you can take a run through the King's Gauntlet).
7. Try to accumulate at least 320,000 gold which you will need when you get to the Catacombs.
8. Travel to the Bazaar and collect the Fixed Map piece.
9. Travel to the Catacombs (Bristle Woods Region) and buy the Obelisk of Slumber trap or the Obelisk of Incineration trap (cost 316,350 gold). Use the new trap and hunt with Radioactive Blue cheese or Ancient cheese as bait. [Note: With the crafting of your first Arcane trap you can now access Tiers 6 of the King’s Gauntlet. However I would wait until you have crafted the ACRoNYM trap [See King’s Gauntlet posting]].
10. There are two ways of obtaining Ancient Cheese [Formula]; crafting it and using Ancient Cheese Curd potions that are dropped by the Scavenger mouse or Keeper mouse in the Catacombs.
11. Continue hunting in the Catacombs using Ancient cheese and gather 12 Scrap Metal pieces dropped by the Scavenger mouse. [Tip: If you want, you can go after the Torn Pages of Plankrun’s Journal (Front cover) that is dropped by a Keeper mouse in the Catacombs].
12. Once you have gathered the 12 Scrap Metal pieces, Craft the ACRoNYM trap [Formula].
13. Purchase the Mysterious blueprints (623,700 gold) from the Catacombs General Store.
14. Keep hunting until you get a Keeper's Candle that is dropped by a Keeper mouse.
15. Travel to the Forbidden Grove if it is open. If it is not then you have to wait until it is. [Tip: It is worth using one of the several Forbidden Grove that are available.  I use this one as it brings all the timers you need into one place [Timers]].
16. Hunt in the Forbidden Grove using Ancient cheese as bait and collect the Runes dropped by various mice.
17. Use the Runes to craft Runic cheese [Formula].
18. Use Runic cheese as bait in the Acolyte Realm to hunt for the Wight mouse, Lich mouse and Acolyte mouse. [Tip: Unless you are very lucky, you are unlikely to catch an Acolyte mouse with you current trap. Don’t waste too much time on this and instead collect and save plenty of Runes (ideally 60) and return once you have crafted the Ancient Box trap]. [Note: You can not travel to the Acolyte Realm by choice; you are transported there automatically when the Forbidden Grove closes. You can travel out of the Acolyte realm at any time]. [Tip: If you are running low on Stale cheese then you can exchange it with your friends (Click 'Friends' then 'Send Free Gifts') or travel to any location in the Bristle Woods region and use the ACRoNYM trap, Explosive base and Cheddar cheese or White cheese].
19. You now need to accumulate at least 2,000,000 gold and 18 Scrap Metal pieces before moving on. This is needed so that you can craft the Ship. Travel to the Catacombs to do this as it is the best place to accumulate gold.
20. After you have collected enough Scrap Metal pieces then you can craft the Ship. This is done in two stages; Build the ship and then Name the ship [Formula].
21. Travel to the SS Huntington II (Rodentia Region) and buy either the Net Gun trap or the Harpoon trap and then hunt with the Hydro trap and Brie cheese as bait until you have collected: the Compass that is dropped by a Bottled mouse; the Telescope that is dropped by a Captain mouse; and the Sextant that is dropped by a Shipwrecked mouse.
22. Once you have collected the 3 items you should craft the Ocean Navigation Kit.
23. Travel to Cape Clawed (Tribal Isles Region) and purchase several hundred pieces of Gouda cheese from the Cheese shop.
24. Travel to Elub Shores and hunt using your Net Gun trap or Harpoon trap and Gouda cheese as bait.
25. Collect 30 Shells from various mice that drop them and then return to Cape Clawed.
26. Craft Shell cheese [Formula].
27. Hunt at Cape Clawed with Shell cheese as bait and catch the Elder mouse that drops the Ancient Spear.
28. Repeat 23 to 27 until you have the Ancient Spear.
29. If you have over 12,000,000 points then craft the Ancient Spear Gun trap [Formula]. If not then go to the next step and craft it when you have enough.
30. If you are not already there then travel to Cape Clawed and replenish your Gouda cheese stock.
31. Travel to Nerg Plains and hunt your strongest Tactical trap with Gouda cheese as bait.
32. Collect 30 Savoury Vegetables from various mice that drop them and then return to Cape Clawed.
33. Craft Gumbo Cheese [Formula].
34. Hunt at Cape Clawed with Gumbo Cheese as bait and catch the Grandfather mouse that drops the Thorned Vine.
35. Repeat steps 31 to 34 until you have the Thorned Vine.
36. Craft the Thorned Venus Mouse trap [Formula].
37. Craft the Horrific Venus Mouse trap [Formula].
38. Travel to the Pinnacle Chamber and collect more Onyx stones dropped by the Master of the Dojo mouse and then craft Onyx Gorgonzola cheese.  There are two choices:[Formula1] or [Formula2]. [Tip: If you save your Onyx stones and use them to make Unstable Curds then in the long run it seems that you get more Onyx Gorgonzola by taking the gamble. The consolation is that even when you lose you get other cheeses].
39. Once you crafted Onyx Gorgonzola cheese then hunt in the Pinnacle Chamber using the Horrific Venus Mouse trap and Onyx Gorgonzola cheese as bait to catch the Dojo Sensei mouse.
40. Once you have 404,340 gold (plus travel money and enough money to replenish you stock of Gouda cheese if required) and 409,500 points then travel to the Town of Digby and purchase the Digby Drillbot trap.
41. Travel to Cape Clawed and replenish your Gouda cheese stock if necessary.
42. Travel to Derr Dunes and hunt using the Digby Drillbot trap and Gouda cheese as bait.
43. Collect 30 Delicious Stones from various mice that drop them.
44. Travel to Cape Clawed and craft Crunchy cheese [Formula].
45. Hunt at Cape Clawed with Crunchy cheese as bait and catch the Aged mouse that drops the Rhino Horn.
46. Repeat steps 41 to 45 until you have the Rhino Horn.
47. Craft the RhinoBot trap [Formula]. 
48. Travel to the Town of Digby.
49. Craft Limelight cheese [Formula].
50. Hunt in the Town of Digby using the RhinoBot trap and Limelight cheese as bait and catch the various additional mice attracted by the bait.
51. If you have not yet achieved the title of Hero then travel back to the Tribal Islands Region and collect Delicious Stones, Savoury Vegetables and Shells.
52. If you have reached the Hero level then check that you have completed everything so far.
53. Got to Part 09 - Hero
