The Zugzwang Tower: Success!

Hi Readers!

Yes! After my second trip to the Zugzwang's Tower, I finally managed to successfully capture the Technic King Mouse! It is a good reward for me as I almost wanted to give up on the whole thing. Thankfully, when I was left with 8% amplifier, I managed to catch the King. There was once when I had 17 consequently red-boxes, white-boxes and FTAs. I wanted to surrender then, but my friend kept me going. Without him, it may still take me a long while before I can acquire the King.

Now, all I am left to catch is the Mystic King, and after which would be the Chess Master. Now, the heart of the Rabbit - a valentines and CNY celebration event - has come to town, so I would resume my hunt when it is over.

MouseHunt Mini Snack 1!

Hi everyone!

It is time for a MouseHunt Mini Snack! Here are some simple facts of MouseHunt.

1. The description of Scrap Metal is: These jagged shards of scrap metal resemble the result of a Steel Mouse versus a Digby DrillBot. During the early stages of MouseHunt, if one attempts to use a Digby DrillBot to catch a Steel Mouse, no matter how man times they try, they would not get Scrap Metal. In the forums, Hunters suggested that the developers should change the description or make the description come to reality. After much consideration, the developers decided to please the Hunters, and therefore, after MouseHunt's birthday celebration in 2010, there was a 10% chance of getting a Scrap Metal if you use a Digby DrillBot/Chrome DrillBot against a steel mouse.

2. When a Hunter catches a Dragon Mouse, he/she would get a confirm chance of obtaining a Dragon Chest, containing items for collection, trap components, cheese, crafting items, and so on. The rarest item tat could be found in a Dragon's Chest would be the Heat Bath Blueprints. The Heat Bath is a very powerful Aquatic trap. Its Blueprints could only be found in the Dragon's Chest. Yet, it would only appear an average of once in every 7-8 Dragon's Chest. Looking at the difficulty level to catch the Dragon Mouse, it would obviously not be Chicken Feet to get one Blueprints. In the forums, Hunters have expressed their dislikes over this fact time and time again, but what are the developer's response?
"If you want the trap, you would have to go through the challenges to get it. If not, you can choose not to have it. After all, it is not a Limited Edition trap, and Hunters can attempt to have the Blueprints when they have advanced in ranks.

That is for now. Remember to Stay Tuned for the next MouseHunt Mini Snack!

Second Attempt: The Zugzwang's Tower

Hello All!

Today, I am going to tell you about my second attempt in conquering the Zugzwang's Tower. Like I said in my previous post, the Zugzwang's Tower it one of the hardest ever place a hunter has to conquer. During the stay in the tower, hunter will lose their Tower Amplifier upon catching a mouse of failing to attract a mouse. Failing to catch a mouse won't result in the drop of one's tower amplifier. The hard part is that as the harder mice are released, your amplifier drops, thus harder and harder to catch each mouse.

During the last hunt, I wasn't prepared due to the fact that I did not craft my Zugzwang's First Move, which has a vital role to play in conquering the tower. Now, however, I spent a whole 1.03 million gold on crafting what seems to be the strongest tactical trap in the game. Lets put this trap to the ultimate test.

Wish me luck as I advance in the Zugzwang's Tower. You can even share a Luck Charm with me! It would be after my success or failure (2 days) that I will blog again.

Zugzwang Tower Failed Attempt

Hi all!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!

It has been a while since I have updated this blog. Anyhow, I would like to share with you on my attempt to conquer the Zugzwang Tower. When I had finally decided to travel to the Zugzuang Tower, I realised something: I had not crafted my Zugzuang's First Move! The ZFM plays a very important part in conquering the tower, and if you do not have it, chances that you would conquer it would be slim. However, during my first few hunts, since I used the pawn pinchers and the new limited edition trap Rewers Riposte, the journey was smooth. However, when I reached the technic and Mystic Rooks, the tables were turned. I could not even catch one of the Rooks! That made me mad, but there was nothing I could do, but to keep trying till my amplifier becomes weak. I tried my luck every time, but to no avail. In the end, I left the tower with an amplifier of 40% without catching any Rooks. What I have gone wrong during this trip to the tower is that I wasn't well prepared. Instead of knowing that I would have a confirmed chance pf catching a mouse, I kept pushing my luck. Next time, I would make a trip to the tower again, but this time, well prepared.
