Forgive me if this has been asked (I searched) and if this is not the correct spot to post the question (I belive it is related directly to farming).
I was wondering if I could get an explanation or if someone knows of a map on how to get to the Ice Wastes in the UW. I have been trying some solo builds and have had a pretty easy time clearing out the Chamber but I would like to try my hand at the smites (they taunt me from beyond a wall, I see them!), but I am not too familiar with the UW yet and the only path I seem to come across is the room with the Terrorwebs. I can usually clear that out halfway before I make a mistake and meet my maker, but I have been told you do not have to go that route...but I see no alternative??? Any point in the right direction is much appreciated! Thanks.

I can push you in the right direction if you want,also check out some UW farming threads,they tend to have pics,maps or videos which usually show the way.
and if none of this works just post in all chat on gw asking and someone will glaly show you.

Take the quest in the chamber, kill all the grasps, when you have a gate is opend.
To come to the gate take the stairs to the right from where you spawned and ceep going right after the staires, thrue the gate and then ceep left around a cliff and upp another stair and then you are there.
Sry bout my englich.

when youve cleared chamber of GD look to your right,from where you originally spawned,you should see a group of grasping darknesses accompanied by a Dying Nightmare, make sure they are away from the passage described above.
let them get to the bridge to your right and then go forwars tup the staircase on your left with your speed buff on to avoid aataxes Chasing you, you should see a doorway,make sure aataxes arnt approaching as this can end your run. then to your left you will see some aataxes alone, proceed towards them, then run forwards towards the staircase,at this point if you were to press ctrl you will see Smite Crawlers(Jackpot) and your ecto farming may begin.
about the aataxes towards the doorway,you can press ctrl before hand making sure that they are either leaving or to see if they are away from the area.
remember the Dying nightmares also span in ice wastes and those damned coldfire knights may catch onto your agro bubble soo keep well away fom them.
Hope this helped,although i too dont have the best english,Gl+Hf.

Thanks for the response guys. jbwarrior your video was nice BUT it didnt quite give me the info I was looking for, i.e. how to get from the labrynth to the ice wastes, it skipped over it. However I did come across this video when searching (you put me on the right path) that showed a perfect example of how to get there. Honestly I do not know how I missed this path the whole time but, at least I see it now:

Now I can take my Vengeful Rit out of the Desolation and start getting the good stuff. Thanks guys.

Am I unlucky or did the new build last night change something in the UW?
I have been down in the UW before and have completed the "Clear the Chamber" quest quite a few times with my Rit no problems, it was finding the Ice Wastes w/o being killed by the Bladed Aatxes that always got me. With my trapper ranger I can kill those bad guys fine and didnt need to worry. I just died trying to find the Ice Wastes. Last night I got to the Ice Wastes with my Trapper just fine and even got a few ecto. But then I went in with my Rit....
I can't pull the Grasping Darkness. At all. I dont remember this being a problem before but I simply could not, in 10 tries, pull them w/o pulling the Bladed Aatxes. It was as if they were part of the same mob....
There were times that I got their attention when they where nowhere near the Bladed Aatxes, not even remotely close by any stretch. No dying nightmare pops either, but yet on came the Bladed Aatxes and a quick death. I stopped trying after 10k gold was drained trying. It literally looked as though they were in the same mob. Has anyone else found this to happen now? Or am I just a n00b? As I said I have cleared the chamber (i.e. pulled Grasping Darkness w/o pulling Bladed Aatxes) multiple times before, but now I cannot no matter how patient I was.
I guess back to echo trapping lol.

Ted, have you been using a 25% or 33% speed buff skill? 25% is enough to pull the grasps, but sometimes they flee from 33%.
I dont know much about the Rt/Me though, maybe you dont even have a running skill

I use Illusion of Haste, which is 33%. I activate it, run and just barely touch my agro bubble onto them (w/o getting the Bladed Aatxes in the bubble), and then run back.
The issue is that as soon as the grasping agro, so do the Bladed Aatxes (and they are closer to the stairs!), no matter how far or close they were when I agroed. I dont remember this happening before, maybe I was actually lucky before and am now having a normal experience lol.

You should get pretty close, try to get 1-2 grasps in aggro bubble at least, BEFORE using run skill.
If you pull them back to the furthest ghost, you shouldnt have a problem with the aataxe.
Im about to try my new ranger uw solo (testing atm
) so ill check it out

Yeah, I guess I was triggering the run skill at the wrong time, I got to the smites last night and killed a few groups, only to die between two coldfire groups I could not get around. I do not know their paths at all, so I guess I will be dying alot until I learn their moves lol. Going to be an expensive trial and error.
