[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Rift Warden
- "Grenth's followers have located the secret lair where Dwayna's intolerable snowmen dwell. We must strike a great blow to Dwayna and roast those frosty, and annoyingly cheerful creatures, thus insuring Grenth's domination over Wintersday. Will you show your dedication to Grenth and rid us of these annoying irritants?"
- Accept: "Snowmen heads will roll."
- Decline: "You're as cold as ice."
- When asked about quest: "Are you ready to assault the Secret Lair of the Snowmen? You will be sparated from your party for the duration of this task. Once at the lair, you must roast the snowmen before Dwayna can send reinforcements. Are you ready?"
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
Grentchus Magnus: We must clear out those snowmen before Dwayna realizes we've found their lair. Hurry!
Glimmering Snowman: They found our secret lair! Snowmen, to arms!
Mischievous Snowman: Those who leave muddy bootprints in these hallowed halls do not leave alive. They leave...on ice!
Industrious Snowman: None dare enter our secret ice lair! You shall meet the same frigid fate as the Dwarf King!
Freezie: The Grentches are here!
Freezie: Give it all you've got snowmen we must prevail!
[edit] Reward dialogue
Rift Warden
- "Word of your service have already spread throughout the Underworld. Perhaps Grenth will emerge victorious with you on his side."
[edit] Notes
- Guild Wars Eye of the North is required for this quest to be available.
- If freezie dies you get a 2% morale boost.
- If Grentchus Magnus dies he will respawn but only if no enemies are near.
- It is not necessary to defeat all the Snowmen, only to defeat Freezie's group.
- Completing this quest will cause a Wintersday Chest to spawn.
- The Grenchies follow you around. They are not allies not in your party, and will not engage snowmen unless attacked or they come into range. If you engage the snowmen at long range, the grenchies will not be aggroed and will not help. This means you need to get closer to the snowmen then snow-ball range, in order to get them to engage the snowmen.
- The Grenchies die easily. Once you engage a group of snowmen, you should use ice-fort or dance back and forth in order to keep aggro and let the Grenchies do the killing, without them getting targetted often.
- once you start this mission you can't start The Strength of Snow until you finish this one.
[edit] Trivia
- The Accept Dialogue is possibly a reference to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
- The Decline Dialogue "You're as cold as ice" is a reference to a song of the same name by Foreigner.
