Event Mini-Bosses
Three new mini-bosses can be fought during the event. When defeated, they each give a large amount of dungeon completion, a 60 seconds bonus to the dungeon timer, and a boon for the rest of the dungeon.
- Ghorn the Avalanche
- Ghorn will join you periodically while in boss encounters and help you.
- Krumbug the Naughty
- Each time you deal damage to an enemy, you have a chance to release a wind-up mouse to charge at the enemy, exploding upon arrival for damage to the target and nearby enemies.
- Eira the White Which
- Eira will appear near you ever 120 seconds and spawn a Winter Rune on the ground that persists for up to 30 seconds. When a player steps on the rune, they gain an absorb shield equal to 50% of their maximum health. While the shield is active, they take 50% reduced damage and are slowly healed.
How to earn Warm Wishes
To get these new mounts and outfits you’ll need Warm Wishes, which can be obtained from dungeons randomly and new star map completions.
Dungeons have a chance on completion to give 1x Warm Wish.
Star Map
Every hero can complete a new portion of the Star Map at the bottom.
Each section of the star map requires you to defeat each of the new mini-bosses. After completion, completing up to difficulty Paragon of each unique dungeon will give a total of 6x Warm Wishes for a grand total of 72x.
You can get up to 72x extra Warm Wishes per hero by completing this section of the star map.
How Many Warm Wishes Do You Need to Get Everything?
All mounts cost a total of 120 Wishes, and each character (9) needs 20 Wishes for a total of 300.
If you fully complete a character’s star map you’ll get 72 wishes, so four characters will give you 288.
However, to unlock every character’s skin you would need to complete Wraithtide on each of them anyway, which would give you additional wishes on the way.
How to unlock the Secret Hearthwarming Mount
Around the Stronghold, candies can be found that give a stacking speed buff. You will need to collect 30 candies without losing the buff, then complete the jump puzzle by the tower on the south-west side of the Stronghold.
You can setup a portal at the puzzle ahead of time to make it easier after you collect the candies. Remember you will need 4x Warm Wishes to buy the mount after completing the secret. Below is a detailed map of the candies.
This is the start of the jump puzzle around the tower:
