11a - Seasonal Garden Guide

For Hunters with the Title of Lord/Lady or above...
Last Updated: 19.03.2012

1. Travel to the Seasonal Garden (Rodentia region) and purchase Zugzwang's Last Move trap from the Seasonal Garden General Store.
2. Smash the trap using the Hunter’s Hammer.
3. Purchase Zugzwang’s First Move blueprints at the Seasonal Garden General Store for 615,000 gold and then craft the Zugzwang's First Move trap [Formula].
4. Use a trap set-up for the current season [Hydro in the Winter; Physical in the Spring; Tactical in the Summer; and Shadow in the Autumn (Fall)] to hunt in the Seasonal Garden with Gouda cheese, Brie cheese or SUPERbrie+ cheese as bait. [Note: For the casual or passive hunter a Tactical trap set-up will be ok].
5. Keep hunting until you have all 4 Key Shards which should then be crafted to make Zugzwang’s Tower key [Formula].
6. Once you have crafted Zugzwang’s Tower key you can access Zugzwang's Tower (Rodentia region). Before going into Zugzwang’s Tower make sure that the Tower Amplifier is fully charged (See note). [Note: As you catch mice in the Seasonal Garden, the Tower Amplifier will increase. Failing to attract mice in the garden will cause the Tower Amplifier to decrease.  When the amplifier is charged, it provides a power bonus to the Trap when hunting in Zugzwang’s Tower. When hunting in the tower the Tower Amplifier’s charge will decrease until it runs out or you leave the tower. Make sure to that the Tower Amplifier is fully charged before going into Zugzwang’s Tower, because it will reset to zero when you leave].
7. Purchase the Technic Pawn Pincher trap and the Mystic Pawn Pincher trap that will cost 1,287,500 gold for both traps from the Seasonal Garden General Store.
8. Keep hunting until your Tower Amplifier is charged [Tip for newbies to Zugzwang's Tower: at 50% you have to be very lucky to make it through; at 100% you should be OK; above 100% then you should be comfortable]. 
9. See the checklist below before going onto the next phase.  If you can answer Yes to all of these then you are ready to go to the Zugzwang's Tower.
10. Travel to Zugzwang's Tower.
11. Go to Part 11b - Lords and Ladies: Zugzwang's Tower.
