This frighteningly frigid fortress towering over the Great Winter Taiga is home to the devious and dastardly Frost King!

Overview

The Great Winter Hunt 2022 event takes place in Great Winter Taiga region, with 3 hunting locations: Cinnamon Hill, Golem Workshop, and Ice Fortress.
This region requires the rank of Recruit to access. It is only available during the event.

In this location, the Hunter aims to ultimately defeat the Frost King, which is only available after taking down Ice Fortress Shield.

Gameplay Mechanics

Snow Golem

During the event, the Snow Golem is in effect in all 3 locations in this region.
The details on this mechanic can be found here.

Fortress

In this location, a Fortress mechanic is in effect:

  • There is an Ice Fortress Shield with 36 HP.
  • There are 3 cannons: Animated Snow Cannon, Cinnamon Cannon, and Charm Cannon. Each cannon can be either Offline or Firing.
  • When hunting with at least 1 cannon with Firing state, the Hunter can damage the Shield.
    • Each cannon adds 1 damage per hunt.
    • Using Festive Spirit adds 1 additional damage per hunt.
  • When the Shield HP reaches 0, the Hunter will attract Frost King next hunt in this location.
  • Catching Frost King resets the Shield to 36 HP.

Heads-Up Display

The Heads-Up Display can be divided into 3 parts:

  • Top shows quick travel interface and general guide.
  • Left provides Snow Golem info.
  • Right provides Fortress info.

Top

Info interface

This interface provides a general guide to participate in the event:

  • Collect Golem Parts
    • Hunt using standard bait in any Great Winter Taiga location to collect Pecan Pecorino cheese.
    • Hunt mice using Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino cheese to collect golem parts.
  • Build Snow Golems
    • Once you've collected 1 Golem Head, 1 Golem Torso, and 4 Golem Limbs, you can construct a Snow Golem.
    • Choose any location in the Kingdom that you've already unlocked and send your Golem there to collect loot for you.
Cinnamon Hill

Hunt mice with Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino cheese to collect Compressed Cinnamon.

Take this Compressed Cinnamon to the Golem Workshop to fuel the Golem Part Forges.

Golem Workshop

Turn on a Golem Part Forge to begin manufacturing its associated Golem part.

Each active Forge will consume one Compressed Cinnamon and make one unit of progress per hunt.

When a Forge completes, it automatically produces a Golem part!

Ice Fortress

Turn on a cannon to start firing Hailstones at the Ice Shield while you hunt.

Per hunt, each active cannon will consume one Hailstone, deal one unit of damage to the shield, and cause the mice to drop its associated item.

Once the shield reaches zero, you will encounter the Frost King until he is caught.

Catching the Frost King will reward you with a Magical Holiday Scarf and will reset the shield's health.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

This place gives me the chills and I'm not talking about the temperature!

Deep inside that scary-looking Ice Fortress, behind that tough-looking ice shield, lives the frigid fanatic who calls himself the Frost King.

Rumour has it, he is trying to freeze the entire Kingdom of Gnawnia so that we'll be stuck in the festive season forever!

As much as I love this season, all good things must come to an end and that's where we need your help!

You'll need to capture the Frost King to put a stop to his plan but before you can reach him, you'll need to break through his Reinforced Ice shield.

I've taken the liberty of setting up three cannons capable of firing Hailstones which are the only things strong enough to break through Reinforced Ice.

So collect some Hailstones from your Snow Golems, switch on these cannons, and start the barrage for the good of the Kingdom!
