Winterlight Solstice

The Percht Queen is awakening. Are you brave enough to resist the perishing cold that originates from her chambers and stop it from creating a neverending winter?

Percht, Schiach, Baleful Bunny, Animated Snowman and The Percht Queen

Opportunity to obtain the Sleigh mounts, increased (2x) Respawn rate, increased (2x) Mana and Hit Points regeneration, Percht Raider Outfit and addons, achievement Raider in the Dark .

Those sudden weather shifts are foretokens of the Percht Queen's awakening! Her frozen kingdom is a stronghold of neverending winter! Shielded by perchts and schiachs, she holds sway over the snow-clad island with an iron fist.

It is said that no gear or cloth can withstand the withering cold that comes from her halls. Even the most daring warriors who sought to breach her throne room iced over on their way and were shattered into a thousand bits by her ruthless thralls.

As of server save on December 22, a boat, that ferries over to the frozen realm will be at anchor near Svargrond's harbour. Once you have set foot on the island, you should talk to Frosty. The friendly snowman will tell you more about the icy place and its shaggy inhabitants.

At the end of the event (server save on January 10), all game worlds will receive a whole week of increased respawn rates (x2) while mana & health points regenerate twice as fast.

Conquer the Percht Queen's frozen realm!

You can fight the queen with up to 5 players, once every 20 hours. The fight is very easy and there is pretty much no danger of dying, a team of players around level 50 should be enough to do it.

In order to defeat the Percht Queen, you must first unfreeze it. To do so, you'll have to do the following steps:

1. As soon as you pull the lever, you'll be in a small room with a Warm Bonfire and Vortex of Nature , here. Use the bonfire and a Percht Warding Torch will appear in front of it, pick it up.

2. Step on the Vortex and your appearance will change to a Leaf Golem.

3. Go down, and then quickly go all the way to the other side of the dungeon, here. Do not go north. When you step near the wall, a Rush Wood (Quest) (tree) will appear. Use it 5 times, each time a Branch will appear in front of the tree, pick them all up.

4. Go to the south where there will be a Burn Out Bonfire , here. If it's not lit, use your torch on it and light it up, so it changes into a Smoldering Bonfire . Start using the wood on the bonfire.

5. After using all the wood, go back to the west side, transform yourself into the Leaf Golem and repeat this process until the bonfire is so big that it's a Blazing Bonfire and a Warm Fire appears (20 Branches are necessary).

6. When the Warm Fire appears, the bonfire will stop burning, use a torch on it again (the torch only lasts for 40 seconds, so you'll also need to constantly pick up a new one). Then, use the bonfire and you'll start burning yourself .

7. Lure the Warm Fire to the north, but be careful because the Percht Minions will try to kill it. Also avoid the Ice beams that come from the north of the room. The Warm Fire will explode and deal damage to The Percht Queen.

Repeat the process above until The Percht Queen is not frozen anymore (required 4 Warm Fires) and can be killed by the players.

Important notes:

• You can use creatures that don't walk over Fire to draw the attention of the Percht Minions. Two creatures between the stairs and the center are enough. This can also be done by Paladins and Knights using Animate Dead Runes (bring yourself a corpse).
• Never walk to the north of the room if you're not transformed into a burning man. You'll instantly "freeze" and be teleported out of the battle, with no way to come back.
• If you don't go near the bonfire to the west every few minutes, you'll start feeling cold (You are cold.). If this message appears, quickly go west and walk near the bonfire to warm yourself.
• In order to receive loot, the player must deal Elemental damage to The Percht Queen. Knights should use weapons with elemental damage or runes such as Great Fireball Runes, even if the damage is low it's enough to get the reward.

After the Winterlight Solstice ends, all worlds receive a week of increased respawn rates (2x) while mana & health points regenerate twice as fast. This reward applies to all worlds, as it's not possible to "fail" the event.
