Walkthrough
You will come across small groups of Grentches fighting small groups of Snowmen. You will also face groups of one or two Grentches on your own. At the end of the quest, you come across Freezie and some Snowmen. Waves of Grentches will attack, and it gets more difficult to survive. If start to become overwhelmed, the Snowmen will revive after a set amount of time being dead, so run up to the door, and let the reviving Snowmen slowly kill all of the Grentches.
