[edit] Quest information
[edit] Objectives
- Speak to the Rift Warden when you are ready to defend the Underworld.
- Destroy all followers of Dwayna who attempt to breach the Underworld. They must not reclaim the stolen presents.
- See Rift Warden for your reward.
- BONUS: Survive for as long as possible.
[edit] Reward
- 1,000 Experience
- 5 Candy Cane Shards
[edit] Walkthrough
The mission is rather simple. Stand besides the gifts, and defeat the snowmen as they spawn one by one, while making sure they don't claim the gifts. After about 10 minutes have passed, a last snowman called Freezie will spawn. Its defeat marks the end of the quest. If you're having problems, simply put a pillar between you and the Freezie -- you'll be able to take your time regenerating.
Bonus: The bonus is acquired by talking to the Avatar of Grenth after finishing the quest. It consists of 6 waves of 6 snowmen each, spawning one at a time. Snowmen on each wave spawn faster than the previous one, and waves are triggered after killing the last snowmen to spawn on the last round, so it may be wise to hold a bit on killing him until the player is ready for the next wave. Players are awarded 1 candy cane after each wave is defeated.

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Rift Warden
- "Grenth's legions have been busy this year...perhaps more so than any in the past. They've nicked countless presents meant for the good children of the world and stashed them deep within the Underworld. As we speak, Dwayna's followers have mustered to recover them. Grenth requests your dedication; guard the presents to your dying breath. Do you accept the Lord of the Underworld's challenge?"
Accept: "No child will be smiling this Wintersday. Grenth can count on me!
Reject: I think I hear Dwayna calling....
Rift Warden
- "You will be transported directly to the Underworld. If you are in a party you will be separated for the duration of this task. Once there, you must recover the presents stolen by Grenth's servants. Are you ready to face the horrors of the Underworld alone?"
- "I am ready"
- "I am not ready"
After defeating Freezie: Avatar of Grenth
- "You have done well in your service to Grenth. Your station in the afterlife is no doubt assured, however the Mists will have to wait...for now. Do you wish to return to the realm of the living?"
- "Take me to (origin location)."
- "I want to play the bonus challenge."
[edit] Reward dialogue
Rift Warden
- "Word of your service has already spread throughout the Underworld. Perhaps Grenth will emerge victorious with you on his side."
[edit] Notes
- Same as with the mission, the bonus will fail if the snowmen take possession of the gifts.
- Once you have started this mission you cant start You're a Mean One, Mr. Grenth until you finish this one.
