The Ultimate Guide to Mochi's Manor and the Nimble Valley!

A simple guide with simple tips and tricks in the Mochi's Manor area and minigame.

Unlocking

First of all, you have to have the Grotto expansion in your ranch as well as the Indigo Quarry area on the range.

Then, you have to make a trade with Mochi Miles via the range exchange machine in your ranch.
This person right here.
Shortly after completing the trade, you will recieve a star mail from her titled 'no subject'. After reading the starmail, a teleporter in the Grotto will unlock.

It should be on your right as you enter the Grotto.
The game also will show you the way to the teleporter, so you have no choice but to enter. After you enter, there will be a walkway on your left with a green barrier. Upon entering said walkway, your vacpack will be slightly modified. But it will change back as you exit. The walkway will lead you to a range exchange machine, press the button, and Mochi will explain...

Note: The trade will be a little different first time as I took this photo during the second trade.

Quicksilver Slimes

Quicksilver Slimes are sort of the reason why you are here, they are very fast and only spawn in the Nimble Valley. They are so fast in fact, that you have to fire their food, electricity, at them just to get the plort! And that's what you have to do, run around the course and shot electricity at them to get the plort. Make sure to vac up the plorts quickly though, as they will disappear after a few seconds. After the game ends, you trade the plorts in for 200 newbucks for 10 plorts, and eventually, some ranch upgrades.

They look like this, by the way.

Items

One of the main points of the minigame is the items, which you collect from small totem thingys. (I don't know what they're called...) And there are 4 types:

1. Spark Shot: These will give you 30 of an item called a spark shot, which you need to shoot at Quicksilver Slimes to get their plorts.


2. Energy Capsule: This will just restore your energy, as alot of running is envolved.


3. Power-Up: This will give you 3 of 1 of the 3 power-ups,
which I will get to in a minute. (Yes even I think that sentence is confusing...)


4. Relay Ring: This is different to the other 3 as this is a ring instead of a totem thingy. Running through the ring will give you more time, the time is shown on your vacpack.


You need to use these items to try and get the most Quicksilver Plorts you can, simple.

Power-Ups

As I said earlier, there are 3 different power-ups, each with their own unique abilities. Some of the power-up totems are harder to get to, as they are better than the regular items.

1. Thundershock: This item, when fired, will send out a mini explosion, feeding any Quicksilver Slimes nearby, although it is hard to aim. (This isn't the full explosion I just don't have very good reaction skills :P)


2. Static Clinger: If you fire it right, this item will create a electro feild around a nearby Quicksilver Slime/s. If another Quicksliver Slime enters this feild, they will be fed.


3, Slooow Feild: This will create a small bubble, if any Quicksilver Slime enters this bubble, they will be slowed greatly. This gives you the perfect opportunity to make some precise hits.

Usefull Upgrades and Strategies

Some of my personaly recomended upgrades are:
Dash Boots Ultra: There is TONS of running envolved with this, so you need to be ready to run.
Jetpack: There are also lots of tricky jumps that would be almost impossible without the jetpack.
Energy Module MKII: You will need lots of energy for both jetpacking and running.

One of my favourite strategies that I use all the time is this:
Try to get the Slooow Field power-up, after you have it, make sure you have at least over a minute of time left. Shoot it on the ground where there is a narrow route that the bubble covers most of, and stand inside the bubble. Move to the side so you don't get hit, and just shoot any Quicksilver Slime that comes near.


Another Stategy that I sometimes use is:
Try to get the Static Clinger power-up, then shoot the closest Quicksilver Slime to you, then head backwards. Then after you are a fair way back, shoot another nearby Quicksilver Slime, and head back again. Then shoot a final Quicksilver Slime, and watch the plorts rack in.
