==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
''{{date|25|June|2019}}''
+
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.

Ronza is on her way and it looks like some unusual turbulence has knocked a rather large crate of her Chrome Bits overboard, scattering them across the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Ronza needs these bits in order to produce her fabulous kits of Chrome for all of your wondrous traps. She won't be able to produce any Chrome Kits without her Chrome Bits!

Ronza is currently circling Gnawnia and doing her best to recover most of what she lost but she has announced that she would be forever grateful for those that help her gather them back up and is offering special, unique rewards for the recovery of her lost Chrome Bits!

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

==== Recover Chrome Bits to Earn Vouchers ====

After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:

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.

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.
