Talk:Straight to the Heart

From Guild Wars Wiki

Pretty hard quest compared to the Dwayna one. The Grentches do not attack until you have aggroed the snowmen by walking deep into their aggro zone - which is quite dangerous. Then they did not respawn after a while, and I had to fight Freezie... brrr! Ideally done with a Ranger or Ritualist, as a Necromancer you have a silly skill you cannot use (suicide skill), and there are no rez shrines. --Longasc 01:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Really? I thought the Dwayna one was far harder. As well, I think the best profession for all of the Holiday UW quests is a Monk. Second heal can be very useful.-Warior kronos 02:49, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I keep getting stuck at the part with the Ice Dart Traps and the Angry Snowman. -- Gordon Ecker 11:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Patience - use ice fortress. Slows you down a lot but works. Then it got harder as all I had left after some more encounters was Grentchus Magnus - me and him vs Freezie and too many guys with hidden rocks...^^ About Dwayna being harder... cannot agree to that. Dwayna does not take that much time, and you do not have the problem of passive allies. --Longasc 15:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Repeatable Quest? It should be noted that while this quest is repeatable, it alternates availability with the Dwayna quest. Once you complete one of them, you have to complete the other before the first becomes available again. Zoning does not make the quest available (I have tried this repeatedly). This is a bummer for some as the Grentchy quest can drop upwards of 30-40 cane shards while the Dwayna one drops maybe 20. 207.225.93.33 21:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC) Grey Anangke

[edit] Trivia Note

I'm not so sure "You're as cold as ice" is actually a reference to anything...it seems to simply be a comment based on the perceived cruelty of wanting to roast the snowmen (IE calling someone "cold" for being mean).

[edit] Disease

Has anyone seen a green cloud or a snowman using Yellow Snow? Something near the Angry Snowman causes diseaes, but I can't identify the source. -- Gordon Ecker 07:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

It looks like the two traps cause conditions randomly. They also cause Dazed. Jarus 17:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

They also seem to remove your glyphs. --24.179.151.252 07:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see what it is now. It's the bug w/ dungeon traps in general; where the damage gets attributed to players or other allies. Game thinks you attacked yourself or an ally; triggering the snowball glyphs; leading to target ally being diseased or kd + dazed. --24.179.151.252 21:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
