The Seasonal Garden

Before you enter this new location you must:-
  • Reach the rank of Lord.
  • Get a Dragon's Chest.
If you'd open the chest, you'll find a Zugzwang's Scarf and a Magic Feather, which will be needed later.

If you've got the scarf, then you'll be able to access the Seasonal Garden.

The Seasonal Garden

In the Seasonal Garden, there are four seasons which changes every 80 hours. The seasons all follow a cycle (Spring -> Summer -> Fall -> Winter -> Spring and repeating the cycle). Along with the season changes, the mice here also change according to their seasons.

The mice here also have their specific weakness according to their seasons, but they all share a normal effectiveness to Tactical traps. If you already have 38,000,000 points, you can craft this new Tactical weapon.

Recipe:-
1x Zugzwang's First Move Blueprints + 1x Magic Feather + 1x Chess Pieces
= Zugzwang's First Move

Remember that Zugzwang's Last Move you saw at the Training Grounds? If you didn't buy it in Furoma. You're gonna need to buy it now. Fortunately, it is for sale in the Seasonal Garden Trapsmith. Smash it to get your Chess Pieces.


The blueprints are for sale in the General Store for 615,000 gold. 


Hope you haven't forgotten that Magic Feather from your Dragon's Chest. Just add them with the chess pieces and the blueprints and you'll get the....



Power: 3,660, Power Bonus: 15%, Attraction Bonus:-, Luck: 17, Cheese Effect: Very Fresh
The stats of this trap seems comparable to the Horrific Venus, but the mice here are tougher than those you've met at Nerg. Other than that, it's higher power and luck will be important in the next location...

Now that you've got a new weapon, you should arm it with your strongest base, which will be the Molten Shrapnel base. Now then, let's have a quick analysis on the four seasons.


The Four Seasons

Spring
The mice in Spring have a weakness to Physical traps, so start arming your Enraged Rhinobot. Don't worry though, the Enraged is more than enough for the mice of Spring to handle. In spring, you must capture a Vinetail which will drop the Spring Key Shard.

Summer
In Summer, the mice are only vulnerable to Tactical traps, which means you'll be using your First Move or any stronger LE trap here. The targeted mouse here is the Summer Mage which will drop a Summer Key Shard.

Fall
 During this season, the mice can be captured using a Shadow weapon. If you bought the Gorgon for the Jungle of Dread, use it. The catch rate isn't as good, but you'll be getting a stronger Shadow trap later. If you've bought the Clockapult, just use it. The targeted mouse here is the Harvester which will drop the Fall Key Shard.

Winter
The mice of winter have adapted to the snow and ice, which means we'll be using a Hydro type weapon here. The Ancient Spear Gun does just fine here, but we'll be needing something better than that. You can try the Heat Bath or get something stronger from the Slushy Shoreline and Iceberg. Like the other three seasons, you must catch the Winter Mage to get a Winter Key Shard.


Once you finally obtained all four key shards, craft them together to create a Zugzwang's Tower Key. With this key, you'll be able to enter Zugzwang's Tower. However, before you enter there is one more important thing you should do here.

The Tower Amplifier
An important thing in the garden is the Tower Amplifier. By now, you should have noticed a bar that appears when you enter the Seasonal Garden that looks something like this:-


The tower amplifier is a very important for your next location, which is the Zugzwang's Tower. The bar on the Tower Amplifier increases upon every successful catch in the Seasonal Garden and decreases each time a failure to attract occurs, failing to catch won't affect your amplifier though. The Amplifier is also unaffected when you leave the Seasonal Garden.

For Lords, the amplifier only charges up to 150%. Barons can reach to 160% while Counts up to 175%. So, if you're a Lord, keep on hunting till the amplifier reaches 150%.

With the amplifier fully charged, continue to the next section.
