Sidequest: The King's Gauntlet

• You need to be at least a Hero to earn access to the King's Gauntlet.
• First obtain a stolen Crown Jewel from a Master Burglar mouse in the Town of Gnawnia or the Bazaar.
• The Master Burglar mouse is only attracted to either Gilded or Super Brie cheese.
• Gilded cheese can be obtained from the Burglar mice in either the Harbour, Laboratory, or the Bazaar (the Bazaar probably has a higher population of Burglars, but the Laboratory allows you to collect Radioactive Blue potions at the same time). Burglar mice are most attracted to Brie cheese.
• Once you have obtained the Crown Jewel, go to the Bazaar. There is a Cartographer there, who can make you a copy of the King's Gauntlet Floor Plans for 50,000 gold and the safe return of the Crown Jewel.
• The King's Gauntlet is in the "Valour" region, and contains many "tiers", each harder than the last.
• There is no need to travel between tiers; mice in each tier drop potions that can be used to create cheese needed to attract mice for the next tier.
• Using regular cheese will attract mice from the first tier, the "puppet" tier:
• Wound Up White
• Hapless Marionette
• Toy Sylvan
• Clockwork Samurai
• Puppet Master
• Sock Puppet Ghost
• It is recommended that you use Swiss or Marble instead of Brie, as the first tier mice give extremely low rewards.
• Note that there is a cheese shoppe in the King's Gauntlet, that sells Swiss and Brie. The price here is the same as that in the Town of Gnawnia, thus saving you any return trips.
• These mice are extremely easy to catch with most Physical or Tactical traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 2.
• Note: If you happen to have the Ancient Gauntlet weapon, you may equip it to increase the drop rate of Tier 2 potions.
• These potions can be used on either Super Brie, Swiss, or Marble to create Gauntlet Cheese Tier 2, used to attract mice from the second tier, the "thief" tier:
• Impersonator
• Lockpick
• Escape Artist
• Bandit
• Stealth
• Rogue
• Tier 2 mice are best caught with Physical traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 3
• Note that the Gauntlet cheese for each tier also has the recommended power type in its description.
• The cheese made from those potions are used to attract mice from the third tier, the "melee" tier:
• Fencer
• Page
• Beserker
• Knight
• Phalanx
• Cavalier
• Tier 3 mice are best caught with Tactical traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 4
• The cheese made from those potions are used to attract mice from the fourth tier, the "bard" tier:
• Cowbell
• Drummer
• Dancer
• Fiddler
• Guqin Player
• Tier 4 mice are also best caught with Tactical traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 5
• The cheese made from those potions are used to attract mice from the fifth tier, the "magic" tier:
• Black Mage
• Terra
• Ignis
• Zephyr
• Aquos
• Tier 5 mice are best caught with Shadow traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 6
• The cheese made from those potions are used to attract mice from the sixth tier, the "noble" tier:
• Sacred Shrine
• White Mage
• Paladin
• Tier 6 mice are best caught with Arcane traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 7
• The cheese made from those potions are used to attract mice from the seventh tier, the "dust" tier:
• Necromancer
• Fiend
• Tier 7 mice are best caught with Hydro traps, and drop Gauntlet Potions Tier 8
• The Fiend is worth 50,000 gold per catch!
• The cheese made from those potions are used to attract the sole mouse of the eighth and final tier, the Eclipse Mouse.
• It is best caught with a Forgotten trap. They give a 300,000 gold reward upon capture!
