 * It is possible to repeat this dungeon quest, you may have to rezone. Also did anyone get eotn mastery points for this dungeon?

you can repeat dungeon, just don't accept quest reward after completing dungeon,(yes you can get the chest and don't have to rezone!) abandon quest and you can do it again!


 * You don't have to abandon the quest, just accept the quest reward then rezone and take the quest again

you're right! i went back and can re-do! cheers!

You can also just change districts to reactivate the quest --QSECOFR 20:22, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

Tip: Bring fire ele, Vekk, Sousuke, Zhed Shadowhoof, Cynn. Equip them with AoE fire Spells and then aggro the giant mobs of snowmen you meet onto the bridges, there cast Searing Flames, Fire Storm, etc... I did it :) Billyjb 07:10, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Does Koris have to live?? I got to the end and no chest Mtv22 20:50, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * It's a glitch, sucks when it happens :/ COLDshiver 20:11, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I must say that is one annoying glitch. It just happened to me.  I fought through the dungeon, beat the boss, saw the ale kegs, and couldn't pass the quest because Koris was nowhere to be found. Shadowlance 20:41, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

Rodgort's Invocation is great in combination with searing flames. usually it only takes one cast of each spell to take down an entire group. -Firestorm2 21:43, 8 September 2007 (CDT)

Holiday Moa
Did I read this correctly O.o 12.175.211.39 23:56, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Gold out of the Locked Chests
I've been down here a bunch of times and cracked open most of the chests. Has anyone gotten a non purple item?

It does happen rarely. However, as most chests are purple, the odds of you retaining a lockpick are very high. That make this an easy place to work on your "Lucky title". I have also noticed many of the purple items are max damage, require 9. Intresting skins do drop occasionally. These can of course be remodded and used an hero weapons, or sold for around 200g each. My conclusion: If you need money, these chests are not worth the cost of the lockpick. If you need points towards a title, this is an excellent area to work on it. Vlatro

Difficulty
Is this dungeon at all difficult? X Deity X 21:11, 3 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Laughably easy. There are some really annoying obstacles like ice jets and fountains that slow your movement, and the snowmen are weak (but there are LOTS of them). For a competant team though, this is absolutely no challenge at all. Arshay Duskbrow 22:49, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

My new favorite dungeon
A great way to farm dwarf points indeed! A guildie and I took 2 MM's (yes you can make minnions out of them even though they appear to be elementals) and 2 fire eles, and it was even easier this way. Added to that, the abundance of locked chests for such a small area (I've not noticed less gold drops from the chests than any other place btw) and a chest at the end that can give candy canes (so far I've gotten rainbow, wintergreen, and peppermint)...... well this is one I'll be doing MANY times over!

 * I run 3 SF Heros, Fire Hench, 2 Monk Hench, Barrage Hench and myself as an assassin. Usually get 1000-2000 points depending on bonuses and around 10-12 minutes a run. Fun indeed. To bad I am at rank 8. :( No more farming dwarf points for now. Gandorf 12:44, 16 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Yeah I hit lvl 8 about a week ago or so (c'mmon hard mode!). I also noticed that the snowmen don't seem to take more damage from fire. I used greater conflagration which, with the minnions should have been even more ownage (it went about the same).  It maybe should also be noted that the spells the snowmen use seem to be armor ignoring also.Jaxgreystar 09:54, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Incorrect Spelling of Foe
Nice that AreaNet can miss the odd name in a release - in-game Mishcievous Snowman instead of Mischievous Snowman

Trivia
It's name maybe also reference to Serious Sam games. I do belive that at least one secret in Serious Sam 2 was "Secret Snowman has been found!", also in Second Enconcer there was I think hidden level with santa claus, snowmans with mashineguns and comon monsters wearing crismas hats. 83.5.167.152 19:50, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Fleshy Snowmen
The snowmen are fleshy creatures.

Deldrimor Points
I managed to make 1932 in a single run so I updated the article to show 1900 as the upper-limit of points you can make. So far my actual average is quite a bit lower at ~1300 points though. Including waiting for the chest at the end, re-zoning and trips to the merchant the average run, for myself at least, is 12 minutes. I believe that makes this dungeon average around 6500 Deldrimor points/hour; anyone think this is worth of noting in the actual article? It could at least be used to compare this dungeon to other forms of Deldrimor point farming. -arual 18:49, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

- I just got 2.2k in one run. xD -Zerink, 12:34, 10 October 2007 (CDT)
