One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features some brand new eggs, new rewards, and the return of Lady Laura!
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
A familiar face has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia to celebrate the coming of spring: Lady Laura, the Chocolatier! But she is no ordinary Chocolatier; Lady Laura is a master of the lost art of CocoAlchemy which gives her the ability to wield the mighty power of the purest chocolate known to science: Chocolatonium!
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have ambushed her caravan and once again stole all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the spring event mice that are roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.
These eggs in early game areas have received a small boost to their contents! Cracking them open will provide more of the items they contained previously as well as some new items!
This year there are 7 brand new eggs to find! You will need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!
With the discovery of the Sky Palace, the eggs corresponding to island modifiers now appear more frequently when more than one of that modifier is present on an island.
Unlocking shelves in Lady Laura's Chocolate Shop will earn you a special new reward as well as some returning items from previous years!
HOW TO PLAY: There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks. You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!
The King has assembled this eggsquisite collection of bundles and kits to help you find the most eggs and the most Chocolatonium!
Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.
As of April 26, 2022, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
As of May 3, 2022, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness!
Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
