==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
''{{date|01|June|2012}}''
+
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
−
<blockquote>
+
 
−
==== Living Salt ====
+
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
−
<p>Salt left over from the ocean water that formed the Iceberg combined with Icewing's powerful magic has resulted in this tiny, salty mouse. Penned up for the long trip towards Gnawnia, they are only allowed to roam free once the Iceberg has reached the shores, since their tiny salty feet could destabilize the ice underfoot with too much roaming.</p>
+
 
−
<p>These mice will only appear after all the chests have been smashed and the Iceberg has reached Gnawnia's shores.</p>
+

−
<p>This limited edition plushie has been manufactured to help raise awareness about the latest threat to the kingdom.</p>
 
−
<p>For a short time the King has requested hunters share these tiny dolls with each other to spread the word to as many hunters as possible. Along with each of these fiercely cute squeezable dolls is a tag outlining the current dangers the kingdom faces, as well as a "wanted" ad for the capture of Icewing herself.</p>
 
−
<p>This plushie will be around until the 31st of May.</p>
 
  
−
==== Stopping the Invasion ====
+
On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the Great Winter Hunt event will enter its shutdown phase. At this time, Pecan Pecorino and Golem Parts will no longer be found as loot drops. Forges will still work at the Golem Workshop and Cannons can still be fired at the Ice Fortress but Compressed Cinnamon will no longer drop in Cinnamon Hill.</div>
−
<p><b>The Zones</b></p>
 
−
<p>Our brave and daring scouts have reported that the Iceberg is broken up into five distinct zones with different mice in each. The further down you go, the more dangerous it becomes! Between each zone is a General, a powerful mouse appointed by Icewing to defend the Iceberg from intruders.</p>
 
−
<p>Each General has been spotted carrying some sort of intense form of energy, which could prove quite useful if its function is discovered. Hunters will be required to defeat them before they can further progress!</p>
 
  
−
<p><b>Bonus Chests</b></p>
 
−
<p>Floating in the path of the Iceberg are three bonus chests holding supplies for the icy invasion. If you can defeat the Iceberg before it reaches them, their contents will be yours!</p>
 
−
<p>If the Iceberg crashes into them, their contents will be lost to you as they float ashore to be used by the invaders, so work quickly for the most rewards!</p>

<p>Waiting deep within the depths of the mighty Iceberg, the fearsome Icewing commands and controls this icy invasion force against the Kingdom of Gnawnia. Race through the Iceberg to reach her before she moves on to supervise yet another invasion.</p>
 
−
<p>Be warned, hunter: This will not be an easy challenge, and Icewing is a fearsome and worthy foe. Do not take this task lightly!</p>

Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.

==== Ice Drill ====
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:
−
<p><b>Ice Drill Mk. I</b></p>
+
*Golem Parts
−
<p>This specialized drill is used to quickly bore through ice, assisting hunters in reaching deeper depths of the Iceberg. Find it in the General Store!</p>
+
*Animated Snow
−
<p>It requires Drill Charges to operate, and '''can only be used 5 times''' during each Iceberg invasion before it overheats. It will be reusable after defeating an Iceberg invasion.</p>
+
*Reinforced Ice Shards
−
<p>Your first purchase of the Ice Drill Mk. I comes with '''3 Drill Charges''', which can also be purchased from the General Store.</p>
+
*Compressed Cinnamon
 +
*Hailstones
 +
*Firework Sugar Cookies
 +
*Magical Holiday Scarf

<p><b>Wolfskie Mouse</b></p>
 
−
<p>Using his keen sense of smell, the Wolfskie Mouse leads the pack and is able to sniff out the finest of cheese. Summoning feral courage and the brave spirits of his ancestors, this scout sneaks behind enemy lines to find poorly-protected stockpiles of cheese.</p>
 
−
<p>The Wolfskie Mouse has made a return and can be found on the Iceberg.</p>
 
  
−
<p><b>Snowblind Mouse</b></p>
 
−
<p>Having been caught by a stray ray of sunlight once too many, the Snowblind Mouse now dons protective gear every time he heads out. Unsatisfied with merely avoiding danger, however, he has upgraded his snow visor to display on-demand trap statistics that he uses to reformulate devious new cheese-stealing strategies on the fly.</p>

<p>Was that a shadow, or was that a Stickybomber Mouse, setting up a cave-in above you? You can't know, at least not until the trap is sprung...</p>

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

The Frost King's Latest Attack

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a map to complete and new rewards to earn!
