dodge them. Keep moving side to side while you run away and most of their snowballs will miss. If you get hit by icicles, put up ice fort until it wears off, then run.

Don't have any clue how you could die versus them. Just zigzag when you pass them. This way you dodge some snowballs. If you are getting low on health use skill 8 for a hp boost.

If you start the mission right away when it loads snowmen will be fighting and you can run past, just keep running. Next group same thing. A solo pop up after that you might want to kill him. Next group, again you can run past while the snowmen fight. Another solo, kill it or run, kill it to be safe. Now there's a group on the side you do not have to aggro. Then there's a bunch of snowmen fighting grenches, again you can run past while the snowmen fight. Another solo pop up, followed by another solo pop up. Kill them for safety or run. Now you're at the end. So it's a pretty easy run if you keep running and kill the solos so your health doesn't get too bad.

You can run past the popups too, if they're not icy. I always load up a hidden rock and watch to see if it's an icy grentch or not. Usually there's an icy at the point over the first bridge so I put up ice fort and kill him, then run. Icicles is a killer...you can't dodge any snowballs with that on you, and if you get more than 2 grentches on you, you're done if you don't protect yourself.

Wow,ppl are whining coz now they can't even click on the ground with their mouse for 2 mins running around the map.

Just kill the grenchies, you do have some help and don't bother running if you're too incompetent.

Or.. learn to play properly and dodge EVERY Snowball! I make it to the end with at LEAST 250 health every time. :\

My problem with Strength of Snow is that it's more boring than shaving my scrotum.

I tend to try and aggro only one grentch at a time. If there are multiples left after fights with snowmen, I try to skirt the edges. If you can only get one grentch in your aggro circle at one time, you can usually comfortably finish him off.

I know it slows things right down, but waiting for your Ice Fort to recharge before you get into a fight is a good defense.

Wow, you people are so freakin sad. This guy is asking for advice, he isn't whining, and all you can do is flame?

This is hardly flaming, it's unbelievable how someone can find this dungeon hard, just move left and right while running forward...

if you're too lazy to do that then you should die

Or just use Birthday Cupcakes or similar speed boost ( also adds to your Title) it makes the run so much faster and ziggy zaggy as you run.

It's a bit slower, but I usually run past the first 2 groups fighting snowmen. They won't bother you as long as you pass them before the snowmen are all killed.

I then kill the lone pop-up because he will follow you all the way to the next group of 2 who usually have already killed the attacking snowmen. I then kill that group and run all the way to the 1 guarding the door at the end of the long hall. Kill him, then run past the larger fight, past the pop-ups and all the way to the final locked door.

Then, go read something for 5 mins, then come back and collect the loot.

So, I kill a total of 3-4 grentches along the way. Slower, but whatever.

You can speed up the final battle, thus the run itself, by actually participating. Just let the snowmen take aggro first...and if they die, throw up an ice fort...you'll hold aggro until it drops then there are 3-4 snowmen back to help out. Battles last 4-5 minutes for me...which seriously evens out the backtracking I do for shards that drop from npc battles.

Guy wanted help, not a bunch of faggots. Either help him or don't post, no one really gives a shit if you find it easy.








To OP:
Try dodging or if you lag a bit like me you can just go in and kill one then retreat (Assuming we are talking about fighting them solo). Using a Warrior helps as he has an IMS boost which is great for getting away.
