Snake Dance

Snake Dance refers to a series of winding mountain paths and snowy valleys that threads its way from the Northern Shiverpeaks to the southern part of the mountain range. This area is largest explorable area in the Prophecies campaign and is also the longest area in the game. It contains hostile mobs of wildlife native to the Shiverpeaks, including Giants, Griffons, Nightmares, and Trolls. The Stone Summit are found towards the south as well.

Getting there
The easiest way to reach this area is to first get to Camp Rankor and head out its northwestern exit. Camp Rankor is usually reached only towards the end of the Prophecies campaign.

To reach here from the Northern Shiverpeaks, head south out of Beacon's Perch and through both Lornar's Pass and Dreadnought's Drift; the journey is dangerous for a party of 6 out of Beacon's Perch as the areas are filled with high-level foes. But because this area lets characters reach Droknar's Forge much earlier (to get max armor), there used to be a popular Beacon's Perch - Droknar's Forge run, prior to the release of the other campaigns and prior to several changes that made the run more difficult.
