Last Updated: 24.08.2012

1. Craft the Ice Maiden trap [Formula]. 
2. Craft the Inferno Pepper plant [Formula].
3. Pick the Peppers and then craft Inferno Harvarti cheese [Formula].
4. Travel to Dracano and hunt using the Ice Maiden Trap and Inferno Harvarti cheese as bait.
5. Keep hunting in Dracano until you have collected 3 Dragon Embers.
6. While hunting in Dracano you also want to get one (or several) Dragon’s Chests that are dropped by the Dragon Mouse. The Dragon’s Chest will appear under the Special tab under Inventory. Keep hunting the Dragon Mouse until you have the following loot: Zugzwang’s Scarf (which will grant you access to the Seasonal Garden); Magic Feather (a component in the Zugzwang’s First Move trap); and the Heatbath Blueprints (needed for the Heatbath Trap).
7. Purchase the Antique Lantern from the Cape Clawed General Stores and craft Balack’s Latern [Formula].
8. Before travelling to Balack's Cove you will need to craft Vanilla Stilton cheese [Formula] so travel to the Jungle of Dread and use the Clockapult of Time trap with Gouda cheese or SUPERBrie+ cheese as bait in order to catch Vanilla Beans. [Tip: Option 2 appears to be the best in the long run otherwise you spend far longer collecting Vanilla Beans].
9. Travel to Balack's Cove and use the ACRoNYM trap or the Ancient Box trap with Vanilla Stilton cheese as bait to collect the drops from the; Derr Lich mouse, Elub Lich mouse and the Nerg Lich mice. Once you have collected one of each item then you can craft Vengeful Vanilla Stilton cheese [Formula]. [Tip: Ancient Box Trap appears to be the best for catching the three Lich mice]. [Tip: Before going after Balack the Banished mouse make sure that you have a good supply of Vengeful Vanilla Stilton because you will miss most of the Balack the Banished mice].
10. Hunt for Balack the Banished mouse with the Ancient Box trap and Vengeful Vanilla Stilton cheese as bait.
