Walkthrough
When you start the quest your find yourself at the start area of the Secret Lair of the Snowmen. You will be accompanied by five Shifty Grentches and the boss Grentchus Magnus.

Go near them so they speak and then they will begin to follow you, then head south through the open doorway where you fight some snowmen. The Grentches are pretty weak and will most likely all get killed except for Grentchus Magnus, save as many of them as you can. They make great cannon fodder however.

Move on and you will encounter some more snowmen, and reinforcement Grentches, who will follow you once this small fight is over.

Things begin to get harder from here on depending on how many Grentches you have left following you. Go slowly and remember to let Ice Fort recharge after every fight.

You soon move over a bridge and see a large number of snowmen beyond another bridge to your left hand side. There is a Area Map in guarded by those snowmen, but you can avoid them. Ideally your Grentch army should be fairly large by this point (15+), continue forward fighting more snowmen along the way.

You will likely get hit by a random Avalanche Environmental skill along the way, which will do 100 damage, so be careful.

You will soon see another large group of Cordial Snowmen to your left, which you will need to kill in order to get the Dungeon key in order to move further on. The Angry Snowman carries the Dungeon key, killing him also disables the two Ice Dart traps nearby. Once you have the key head forward fighting a small group of Blessed Snowmen.

The next chamber contains a small army of Pious Snowmen and a single Industrious Snowman, take them down and continue forward.

Finally you will reach Freezie and his small army of Snowmen, hopefully you will still have a large Grentch army remaining who will make short work of them all. Take them all out and finally open the Wintersday Chest that spawns to complete the quest.
