Home to Freezie and his snowmen cadre, the Secret Lair is a less-than-pleasant place. Its inhabitants live inside this cavern awaiting the arrival of Wintersday, when Dwayna calls upon them to bring joy, snowballs, and presents, to everyone. (And death to Grentches.) The Dwarf King Hundar, a rather famous ale brewer and former leader of Deldrimor, stumbled upon this location years ago, never to be seen again.

[edit] Notes

• The mobs do not reward experience or gold.
• A typical run in normal mode through this dungeon with the raider bonuses can yield around 1,500 Dwarven reputation points.
• There are between 165-180 enemies to defeat inside this dungeon.
• 500 Deldrimor reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon for the first time in normal mode, and 250 points are awarded for subsequent completions. 750 Deldrimor reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon in hard mode for the first time, and 375 points are awarded for subsequent completions.
• These snowmen (except for the Angry Snowman which carries the Dungeon Key) are considered fleshy creatures and are therefore subject to conditions such as bleeding and poison, as well as leaving exploitable corpses.
• These snowmen (except for the Angry Snowman) have no apparent weakness to fire or resistance to cold.
• Killing the Angry Snowman disables the 4 ice dart towers in front of his spawn.

Bug.

If Koris Deeprunner dies at Freezie, the chest may not spawn.

Bug.

The Snowmen near the second shrine sometimes spawn inside a wall.

Bug.

Sometimes Koris Deeprunner will get stuck at a chest that spawns in a doorway or bridge and you cannot complete the dungeon.Consider pinning heroes and henches somewhere else and guiding Koris out yourself.
