| Major Shivering (Frost) Stone Step 0: Preparation Requirements to complete this quest:
Step 1: Getting There Starting off from Tou Tou, catch the Arwic Portal and enter the Old Mines. Run down the Arwic Mines to the Old Mine portal. Exit the Old Mines and you are very close to the dungeon. Head N-NE up the hill to the point shown below. You will need to WALK (not run) around the corner, and immediately turn right and run up the hill. If you do this part wrong, YOU MAY DIE from falling damage. I suggest putting on some bludgeoning protection just before doing this, as it is quite easy to fall. From that point, simply run to The Serac Vault (75.9S 29E)
Step II: Going Inside Alright, getting here was half the battle. Before going in, get familiar with this map. When you go inside, you will appear as shown below (NOTE THE DEAD BODIES FROM FOLKS WHO DID NOT FOLLOW THE NEXT PART EXACTLY!!):
When you appear, you will be attacked by 3-4 Lich Lords and Revenants. Do not run out and attack them!! Let them come to you. If you head too far forward from this point, you will get SWARMED by 25-30 of them and die before you even figure out what happened. Kill these quickly and quietly. Step III: The Jump Next, head down the left wall, following it around until you get to the rocks shown below:
Ok, here is where things get a bit dicey. You need to buff your jump skill to a MINIMUM of 300 at this point to make the jump. I (along with everyone else) recommend a minimum of 340, as the odds are that you will get de-buffed by the Revenants. If you are in a big group, this is a possible source of MASSIVE chaos. What you will need to do, is ONLY kill the Lich Lords/Revenants that come over to the rock and don't leave after 1-2 swings and a spell. If you try attacking all of them, you will draw about 20 or so on top of you and die very fast. Needless to say, you MUST maintain order here to get everyone buffed and up on the bridge you see in the upper right. Ok, get buffed, and stand as shown below, looking to the closest point of the bridge in front of you (easiest way is to WALK up the center of the rock until you stop moving.) Then do a FULL-POWER jump, and pray you land on the bridge depicted below:
Step IV: Getting to the Room Ok, from here on out, you should not need to fight anything to get your stone. You will turn to the right on the bridge, and run down that passageway until you get to the point shown below, and jump across to another bridge like I just did in the picture (This requires you to do a running tap jump only): Ok, that was EASY compared to the first part. :) Now when you make the jump, you will turn to the right and run up that passageway until you get to here:
Now, at this point, you will need to do a full-power (or so) jump across to your left to make it to the doors that lead into the room with the stone. Go ahead and jump. Good job!! Now, In the final room are a few more nasties, but like I said, you do not need to kill them. All you need to do is get their attention and then duck out the door and to the left or right, so they miss the bridge and fall into the pit instead. Once you accomplish this trick, you can have a nice big group in the final room and not need to kill the spawn every 15 minutes. :) Nice, huh? Now you are there!! The stone is as shown below, in our nice EpiK portrait of the folks who went on this quest. They are (from left to right) Banier, LucidKnight, Evil's Shadow, Theodora, Silent Panda, Kreeper, Lessk, Sammual Al'Thor, and of course, I am the guy taking the picture :) Well that's it!! You got your stone! Congrats!!
