==== Return of the Frost King! ====
 +
Within the Great Winter Taiga to the North, the Frost King has once again constructed his massive Ice Fortress. Shielded by a dome of thick ice, the Frost King is projecting an icy spell to plummet the Kingdom into perpetual winter!
 +
 
 +
Fortunately the arrival of the Festive Comet and Animated Snow provides the perfect means of amassing ammunition to shatter the shield: Hailstones! Visit the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts and Animated Snow. Construct magical Snow Golems to collect not only valuable hunting supplies but also Hailstones which can be fired at the fortress to shatter its shield, allowing hunters to confront the Frost King.
