The Frostcovered lands

So the Frostcovered lands..

How to do it ?

Here is a guideline to help you through

First, to get most of the dungeon, there is an order to respect .. otherwise you wont have all you need .. nor the rewards.


Each boss you kill after Thunderclaw gives you the essence needed for invoking him, and another essence.

The first boss to kill is Thunderclaw.. easy boss, just kill the ballerina in the chamber before pulling him.

Then the fun begins, the goal is to obtain all the curvades.. but you need them too to unlock the other bosses.
And that only can be done if you do it in a certain order.

The second one to do is Diabolical Enfant, you need a Jin Curvade to unlock Him.

The third is Cyclotra.. you need YI to unlock him.. and you need to kill the Talking Jaeger that roams Below the room to open the doors.

The fourth is Draedindra, unlocked with Li curvade
The Fifth is The Wraith in the same room (Chih Curvade)
The priest is in this room for the squad quest.

After comes the Phoenix, wich asks for a Hsin curvade

If you’ve done it in the right order, The pillar to invoke The messenger of fear will have pop.
You need Jin+Yi to invoke him.

Once the messenger is killed you ll have access to Oceania ( Li + Chih Curvades), Oceania drops mirages stones with the usual essences and frags.

Once you get rid of the Jaeger in the north you can get to Decaying Fragrance (Hsin + Chih)

There is still two bosses afterwards, Holan and Holeen, never met them , I never can get past the Wus ( Flying archers)


Tao and Ming Curvades haven’t been used till now.. so ??

If anyone knows how to pass the wus.. I’m all ear ;)

    lv 76 veno with herc.
    did the dungeon at 75 .. took 3 days to have at least one of each curvade.. and rest of the week to unlock all the bosses.;

    the bosses and other mobs drop frags and essences.; and some cash items.. i ve only found one boss that droped more than frags and essence ( oceania, wich drops mirages)
    I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Wussies are easy. The party we run FC with are the following:

    Lvl 79 Blademaster.
    Lvl 72 Blademaster.
    Lvl 80 Cleric.
    Lvl 73 Cleric.
    Lvl 71 Archer.
    Lvl 76 Venomancer.

    We let the long-range classes go at it on them. Lvl 73 Cleric heals the aggroed shooter while the lvl 80 DDs to make it go faster. The aggroer is mostly me, since I only have 5 vit and the rest is magic... Yes, as good as pure INT veno n___n

    Anyhow, let the BMs use their long-range skills when possible and they'll be dead before you know it.

    FCs is easy with good teamwork. We were able to do it excellently while me and the Archer were severely drunk. So yay. =D

    Flying archers are pretty simple for a veno solo with a herc+bash. Just tell the pet to attack. He cant reach them with his normal attack, but his bash has longer range and will hit, and draw a good bit of agro so you can hit it with spells.

    Takes a while is all.

    We did not respect the order that you recommend to follow but still killed every boss. 78 tank 66 tank 79 bm 79 cleric 69 cleric and myself and we killed everything in there with no problem. This is on the Opening the Gate mode, as I'm sure it is much harder on squad. We basically did a few runs first to figure everything out, stock up on curvade mats, then took our fragments and essences in there last night to try and do a whole run. If you go in there with a bit of a start on curvade mats, then you'll give yourself a pretty good chance to unlock all the bosses, which gets you............absolutely nothing. We used every pillar in there and the blue door (the one by Holeen) still didn't open. We unlocked all of the pillars and still made it out of there with a full set of curvades for squad mode. For the flyers, yea just have your ranged class tank it, I make out just fine with my 79 cleric spamming IB on me, and you don't get squishier than me. :D So ultimately I would recommend saving your curvades to unlock squad because I have yet to see the point to unlocking all the pillars on Opening the Gate. You end up with a VERY long run unlocking them all, and have nothing to show for it. We left with about the same amount of curvades we went in with, possibly a little more. We were all really pissed at the amount of time we put into that run to have the blue door not open when we killed the final pillar boss.b:angry So we walk away with the knowledge of how to run it and some pretty cool screenshots of Oceania boss.

    just DD him while your pet hits ;)

    second pop should be at the end of corridor.. so it shouldnt aggro you this fast

    I am confused here, "Comforting Jade" is the the quest to open the squad mode for frostcovered city. the curvades needed by this quest are also used to unlock bosses in the solo mode. If those bosses does not drop useful stuffs, does not give good exp, why waste curvades to unlock them? in order to finish the comforting jade quest and unlock all bosses, we will need to get 2 of each curvades. should not we just save all the curvades to just finish the confirting jade quest?

    In order to make a curvade u need Fragment and Essence. Fragments are drop from mobs and boss. Essence are drop from bosses. You need to use some curvade to open bosses to get the essence to make the curvade.

    Thanks for clarify, but how many essences each boss drops. if they only drop one, then we will never be able to finish the comforting jade quest, since the essence dropped will be used to make curvade to unlock next boss. Where can we get the extra essences to make curvades required by the comforting jade quest?

    I killed a few bosses today for the first time and they both dropped 3-4 essences and a handful of frags each. I'm thinking a few runs should get enough, maybe. I'll find out soon enough....

    Dunno if you figured out how to get past, but since you're a veno...
    I will be the first to admit I have nearly no real knowledge on veno pet skills and such but...my veno friend who is helping me on runs from time to time figured out that she can have her pet use an aggro attack (like once every 4-5 seconds) and was dding while healing her pet :o

    Im sure you have figured it out and finished it by now, but you need to kill the Shadow with him first, then he will not "pop".

    Hey all,

    I'm trying to do the Comforting Jade quest..

    Now, I went to Frostcovered Lands and I entered and killed a few bosses and eventually got stuck because I didn't have enough jades/essence to spawn the next few bosses. So I came here and found this thread that you need to kill them in a certain order to progress through. So.. I exited the dungeon and made a squad/left it to reset the dungeon etc.

    I go back there and try to open it again, but now it won't open D: I don't remember what option I chose last time but atm there is only the option about Single mode. It then asks me if I have an Ultimate Orb, which I don't have, and won't open unless I get one apparently b:surrender but I never had one the first time either...

    Can anyone explain how i'm supposed to re-open it again? =(

    P.S. I tried trading all the items I got from mobs in there to a friend, and trashed the quests given by pillars and tried again, still nothing...

    you have access to the donjon once a day for free

    once that option's been used , you need to pay 1 Usub or that other sub.

    Alright...for some reason this dungeon and I do not get along b:angry

    From my understanding to do the Curvade quest, you have to progress through the dungeon using Curvades to spawn a boss which will drop the Essence of the Curvade used to spawn it, and additional one thus meaning you must kill them in a specific order(that the OP listed) to obtain all the Curvades and thus finish the quest. At least that's how I understand it from the OP...

    My question is, how do you spawn the first boss if you don't get a Jin Essence from Thunderclaw?

    I've tried it 2 days in a row now and haven't gotten a Jin Essence...instead I now have a Curvade Yi and Chih instead...so I can't spawn the first boss... b:angry

    So I can't do it all in one run then? b:sad I should have known.

    I just expected the quest to be possible to do all at once instead of having to do it every day, since I can't farm mats for orbs and the entrance is free once per day.

    Thanks for your replies btw. b:pleased

    He disappears and respawns if you take too long to kill him. It doesn't have to do with anything else, ive killed him many times before killing the shadow.

    The person who has the quest has to be 75+ in order to open it. Once the door is open, any level can join the party. Not sure if anyone said it or not, but it's only open once per day. From what I heard, you can use an Ultimate Orbs to increase drop rate. I have no idea if it's true or not. Only one way to find out, right?
