The Jungle of Dread

So, you've finally managed to successfully conquer all the three tribes and you've got yourselves some new and awesome traps eh?


Before you go hunting in the Jungle of Dread, you'll need these:-

• Caught yourself the three chieftains of each tribe, along with the blueprint pieces they dropped.
• Have at least 45 of yellow, green and red pepper seeds.
• You've ranked up to a Hero. The Jungle of Dread is only accessible to Heroes and above.

Potted Plants

(Before you start off hunting, it's best if you read this section first!)

Now that you've obtained three different seeds, red, blue and yellow. To get a plant, you'll have to add two seeds to a plant pot which can be bought at Cape Clawed.

However, there'll be six breeds to capture in the Jungle. In other words, we'll need to make "hybrid plants". These different kind of plants can be made by mixing each seed together, such as Red + Yellow = Orange, Blue + Yellow = Green, etc. Just have fun mixing it up. 

(If you mix all three seeds together, you'll end up with a white pepper plant. Sweet isn't it? Ignore it for now)

If you've crafted the plants, you can view them in the Special Inventory, in here you can click to "pick" your plants to get peppers. The quantity of peppers are between 1-5 and leaving the plants in your Inventory won't make the quantity of peppers increase!

The average for the peppers seems to be about 2-3. 

(Read this before you turn your seeds into Pepper Plants!) 

As you read the above section, go ahead and make at least 2 of each plant (except for white!).  If you've managed to get at least 6 peppers from 2 plants, good for you. For those who didn't get 6, pick more till you have at least 6 peppers.

The problem in the Jungle of Dread is that the mice here are super-tough, so it's good to save some seeds instead of using all the seeds to make the same plant. This is so that you avoid wasting too much pepper plants on one bait.

In conclusion, just craft one batch of each bait. If you run out, only then you craft another batch.

Preparations

Bait

In the Jungle of Dread, in order to attract the mice, you'll have to use their favourite bait. Don't worry though, the recipes are all same except for their quantities. To make things simple, here's the recipe:-


Recipe:-
1. 6x Creamy Orange Pepper + 6x Salt + 10x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds & Whey 
    = 6 pieces of Creamy Harvati


2. 6x Crunchy Green Pepper + 6x Salt + 4x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds & Whey 
    = 6 pieces of Crunchy Harvati


3. 6x Magical Blue Pepper + 6x Salt + 2x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds & Whey 
    = 6 pieces of Magical Harvati


4. 6x Pungent Purple Pepper + 6x Salt + 8x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds & Whey 
    = 6 pieces of Creamy Harvati


5. 6x Spicy Red Pepper + 6x Salt + 12x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds & Whey 
    = 6 pieces of Spicy Harvati


6. 6x Sweet Yellow Pepper + 6x Salt + 6x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds & Whey 
    = 6 pieces of Sweet Harvati


Technically, the recipe is just the same but with quantity differences. As you saw above, one batch gives you six pieces. So, just craft 1 batch and if it's used up only you can craft another batch.


Weapons

If you're planning to go to the Jungle of Dread now, it's better you have a Shadow trap with you. All the mice in the jungle all share a weakness only to Shadow traps, which means the ACRoNYM is practically useless here.

If you've been following my guide carefully, it means your only current Shadow weapon is the Sinister portal, which is almost as useless.  


Fortunately, the Cape Clawed Trapsmith sells a good variety of Shadow Traps. Let's take a look:-


1. Bottomless Grave (Shadow)
Power: 1,500, Power Bonus:-, Attraction Bonus:-, Luck: 5, Cheese Effect:-
Cost: 673,630 gold
Remember this trap from the Town of Digby? Last time you skipped it because you were unable to afford it. Now, would you buy it? Although the Bottomless Grave would do well before. However, with the new Gorgon trap, this poor guy has been completely overshadowed. Just skip it...

2. Clockapult of Time (Shadow)
Power: 2,275, Power Bonus: 10%, Attraction Bonus: 5%, Luck: 10, Cheese Effect: Extremely Fresh

Cost: 2,700,000 gold
A very powerful Shadow trap. However, 2.7 million gold isn't easily earned by many hunters of Heroes-Knights. The required points is 20,000,000 which isn't available to many Knights.  Thanks to the devs, we've now got an alternative weapon...

3. Gorgon Trap (Shadow)
Power: 2,000, Power Bonus: 5%, Attraction Bonus: 5%, Luck: 7, Cheese Effect: Very Stale

Cost: 989,000 gold
A good trap. Although at first look it's not that powerful, it's still does fairly well in the Jungle of Dread. It might do well in the Jungle of Dread and gets the job done.

Conclusion?? Buy the Gorgon. Because you'll be seeing a stronger Shadow trap than the Clockapult later, and the Gorgon can help you save some extra gold. The Gorgon is also a weapon strong enough for the Jungle of Dread.
Now that you've finally got your trap and bait, we'll enter the Jungle of Dread!


The Jungle of Dread

The Big Six
In the Jungle of Dread, there a six breeds you'll need to catch also known as the "Big Six" which is the Primal, Jurassic, Stonework Warrior, Magma Carrier, Fetid Swamp and the Chitinous. 

Even with your Gorgon, the catch rate for each breed is around 20%, so just be patient and you'll eventually get them. You can also use some Prospector's Charms here to increase your catch rate. When caught, each breed will drop a special loot.


To make things simple, I made a chart to show which bait attracts which mice and what loot they drop:-

Crafting the Ancient Box
Finally, after days of sweat and effort, you've caught all the Big 6 and you'll be able to craft a new trap capable of taking down the Acolyte. Do note that this weapon is only for those who have 17,000,000 points and above...


The Ancient Box Bueprints
Before you go off crafting the Ancient Box, you'll need to craft the blueprints first! Remember those torn blueprint pieces you got from the three chieftains? Now head to Cape Clawed and buy the Ancient Torn Blueprint Piece and follow this recipe:-


1x Ancient Frayed Blueprint Piece + 1x Ancient Mangled Blueprint Piece + 1x Ancient Ripped Blueprint Piece + 1x Ancient Torn Blueprint Piece 
= 1 Ancient Box Trap Blueprints


Recipe:
1x Ethereal Rope + 1x Encrusted Metal of Time + 1x Timeless Mystic Gem + 1x Ancient Relic Staff + 1x Engraved Solid Stone Slab + 1x Hinge of Eternity +1x Ancient Box Trap Blueprints
= 1 Ancient Box Trap


Ancient Box Trap (Forgotten)
Power: 4,300, Power Bonus: 10%, Attraction Bonus: -, Luck: 4, Cheese Effect: -
If you seen above, the trap type is Forgotten. This means that you're now ready to hunt the elusive Acolyte.


Farming Fire Salt
Another important thing we need to do here in the Jungle of Dread is to farm a special item known as fire salt that you'll need to use later to craft a special bait. You can farm the salt using your remainder cheese after catching the Big Six. About 18 will do it...
