El Nath

The big payoff of the Snowman storyline. Snowman (level 90 boss, 120,000 HP) has gone berserk because its guardian statue was damaged. Your job is to beat it once so Alcaster has time to restore the statue. The reward is a huge 539,700 EXP for one kill.

Before you start: you need to have finished the first parts of the storyline: Huge Creature of the Snowfield (level 90+), Snowman Legend and Snowman's Rage.

Walkthrough

0 / 5

Talk to Scadur in El Nath and accept the quest.
Leave El Nath and follow the snowy road to Valley of Snowman: Watch Out for Icy Path I → II → Cold Field I → II → Ice Valley I → Valley of Snowman. That's six maps; the full route is shown below.
From El Nath → Watch Out for Icy Path I → Watch Out for Icy Path II → Cold Field I → Cold Field II → Ice Valley I → Valley of Snowman
Snowman is the only one of its kind in the valley (one spawn). Defeat it once. Keep your HP high and don't let it corner you.
Return to Scadur in El Nath to complete the quest and collect your 539,700 EXP.
Scadur now sends you to Alcaster in El Nath Market for the final part, Restoring the Spirit of the Snow Sculpture: Alcaster gives you an Ice Crystal. Take it back past the Valley of Snowman to the Spirit of Snow Statue in Snow Soul’s Resting Place for +20 fame.
From El Nath → El Nath Market

Tips

Not ready for 120,000 HP? Bring a party. Make sure everyone who needs the quest has it active and helps with the kill.
Stock up on potions in El Nath before you leave. There are no shops out on the snowfield.
Snowman also drops a Snowman Card (Monster Book) and has a chance at good level 70-ish weapons, so it's worth killing again later.
If the Snowman isn't there, someone else just killed it. Wait for the respawn, or change channel and check again.

BeyondMS notes

BeyondMS's regular quests are unchanged from v83, so the 539,700 EXP, the Snowman fight and the +20 fame from Restoring the Spirit of the Snow Sculpture are exactly as listed here.

Rewards

EXP	539,700

Regular quests on BeyondMS are unchanged from v83, so these are the rewards you get in-game.

In-game quest log text

In progress

Scadur says the Snowman is angry because the Spirit of the Sculpture is damaged, and adds that we need to restore it. However, restoring the sculpture will take some time, and somebody needs to hold the Snowman back from attacking anyone else.

Snowman

Completed

Blocked the Snowman and came back to Scadur. He says Alcaster has completed his preparations to restore the sculpture and tells me to go see him.
