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.

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!
