  GPS Device Instructions NEW!
  I can build ye a special radar box that may help ya on yer' journey, if ya brings me the following scraps:
  1) Depth charge - so I can reconstruct it into the GPS Device. Catch 3 Peccant Fish in a row, and you will be granted a Depth Charge. If you have trouble starting your streak, Peccant Fish generally like the taste of Grim Attractant. Be careful if you choose to use the Depth Charge on your own.
  2) Three octo tentacles - for me to eat while I build the device. Use a level 10+ Pneumatic Spear in Sans Culpra. Your chances of finding the tentacles improves as your spear levels.
  3) Three large ice cubes - to keep the tentacles fresh while I work on the device overnight. Use a level 15+ Cubey Incinerator in Magma Reef, get it to start smoking (fish 10+ times), then activate and use Fish Guts to attract a fish from a land far far away. Your pole may break, however this is necessary to collect the required ice cubes.

  Copied over from MH Forum :

   

   

   

  Go to the Cartographer in the Bazaar and get your Tattered Mousoleum Map restored for $160,000. This will take 5 days.
  
  After 5 days collect your restored map from the Cartographer and head to the Catacombs if you are Legendary.
  
  Cheese:
  1) Radioactive Blue Cheese
  Collect as many RB potions as you can in the Lab. You will need a continuous supply of Radioactive Blue cheese in the Catacombs.
  When RB cheese goes stale it becomes Radioactive Sludge. This is automatically put into your crafting inventory.
  
  2) Ancient Cheese
  Crafting recipe: (6) Ionized Salt + (3) Stale Cheese = (3) Ancient Cheese
  Crafting recipe: (3) Magic Essence + (6) Ionized Salt + (3) Stale Cheese = (6) Ancient Cheese
  Stale cheese is obtained when Brie, Swiss, Marble, Cheddar or White Cheddar goes stale on your trap. It is automatically put into your crafting inventory.
  Ancient cheese has a better attraction rate than RB.
  
  Arcane Traps:
  1) Obelisk of Slumber (OoS)
  Buy the Obelisk of Slumber trap in the Catacombs General Store for $316,350. Alternatively use the Bottomless Grave or Sinister/Ambrosial traps until you can afford the Obelisk of Slumber. These shadow traps are not advisable for the long term in the Catacombs.
  
  2) Obelisk of Incineration (OoI)
  Crafting recipe: (1) Obelisk of Incineration Blueprints + (1) Obelisk Parts + (1) Coal+ (2) Scrap Metal + (3) Splintered Wood
  Buy the Obelisk of Incineration Blueprints from the Catacombs General Store for $45,079.
  Obtain the Obelisk of Slumber parts by using the Hunters Hammer on the Obelisk of Slumber trap. (Do not smash your OoS until you have 1 piece of coal and 2 scrap metal. This may take some time.)
  Coal is dropped by Keeper and Scavenger mice.
  Scrap Metal is dropped by Scavenger mice.
  Splintered Wood can be bought from the Training Grounds General Store.
  
  3) Arcane Capturing Rod Of Never Yielding Mystery (ACRONYM)
  Crafting recipe: (12) Scrap Metal + (1) Onyx Stone + (3) Magic Essence + (1) Obelisk Parts + (1) Mysterious Blueprints
  
  Buy the Mysterious Blueprints at the Catacombs Trapsmith for $632,700.
  Obtain the Onyx Stone from the Master of the Dojo in the Pinnacle Chamber.
  Obtain Magic Essence by using the Hunter's Hammer on Super|brie+.
  The ACRONYM is by far the best trap to use in the Catacombs.
  
  Loot:
  The Front cover of Plankrun's journal is dropped by Keeper mice in the Catacombs.

    32. Where do I find more people to join my hunting group? Look for various Add Me lists instead of creating multiple Add Me lists. Feel free to add me.
    33. Why can't I access the Catacombs? You need to be at least Legendary AND your map needs to be fully restored by the Cartographer.
    34. I have not caught anything for X hours, am I doing something wrong? If you are using an Arcane trap and RB or Ancient cheese you are not doing anything wrong. You are just having a bad run.
