Chapter 12: Great Gnarled Tree/Lagoon

Catch a Fairy Mouse with the Map of the Lagoon. If you've been here, you may already have this; check your inventory.
Also collect 30 Gnarled Cheese Curd Potions.
Before travelling to the Lagoon, let's consider what trap setup you would use.
As you might have guessed, you'd want to use the Gnarled cheese here, but what about the trap? Checking the wiki entry for the Lagoon reveals a rather curious property. There are mostly Physical and Tactical type mice here, however there are two Shadow type mice, and one mouse of a new "Hydro" type.
This means there is no one strategy to use in the Lagoon; what setup you'd use largely depends on your goals here.

1. If you're just trying to earn the most gold and points, aim for the Physical and Tactical mice. This means to use the Ambush with the Dehydration Base.
2. If you're trying to catch the Shadow mice here (i.e. the Goblin and the Harpy), use the ACRONYM with the Dehydration Base. Expect to miss a lot of Tactical mice however.
3. If you're trying to get to the next area, the S.S. Huntington II, you want to aim for the sole Hydro mouse in this area, the Hydra Mouse, which has a chance of dropping an important item, the Ship Blueprints.

However, you may have noticed that you do not have access to a "Hydro" trap yet.
According to this table, the next best thing will be a Physical trap, as the other types of trap are less effective against Hydro mice.
If you have the limited-edition Kraken Chaos, or a strong limited-edition Physical trap (PartyBot / Christmas Cracker Trap / Chrome Drillbot), use it. If you don't have them, you may want to go to the Town of Digby to purchase the Digby Drillbot (409,500 gold). It is rather pricey, but worth the expense, as it is useful in later locations and can be upgraded.
Or, if you did manage to catch a Dojo Sensei with the Onyx Mallet Blueprints, you can try crafting it; the recipe is:

This trap is slightly more powerful than the Digby Drillbot. However, you may not have the 12 Onyx Stones required, and the Tiny Platinum Bars cost 600,000 gold in total, which is significantly more than the Digby Drillbot.

If you need to make more gold, read this for information on how to best make gold from the Catacombs.

Use the Explosive Base with the Digby Drillbot or Onyx Mallet. Limited-edition traps usually do better with the luck of the Dehydration Base.

Whew. Once you have decided what setup to use, arm it with the Gnarled cheese, then go to the Lagoon.
If you manage to acquire the Ship Blueprints, you can then craft the Ship, a.k.a. the S.S. Huntington II, using this recipe:

1 Ship Blueprints
100 Rope (available here at the Lagoon General Store)
70 Bolts of Cloth (also available here at the Lagoon General Store)
900 Splintered Wood (available at the Training Grounds General Store)
18 Scrap Metal (may be dropped by the Hydra. If you can't get enough here, you can go back to the Forbidden Grove.)
1 King's Reserve Bubbleh (available here at the Lagoon General Store)

However, you may note that this requires 6 ingredients, so Legendaries can't craft the Ship safely. Or can they? If you use the recipe without the King's Reserve Bubbleh, you'll get an Unchristened Ship. Craft that with the Bubbleh to get the Ship! Tada!
The ingredients for the Ship are rather pricey and can cost upwards of 600,000 gold combined. If you need more gold, go back to the Catacombs.
What if you can't get the Ship Blueprints? Well, you may have spotted it on sale back at the Catacombs General Store. However, at 750,000 gold, this is by no means a cheap option.
