Winter Event/Presents

Overview

One of the Winter Horde welcomes you to open a present.

During Winter Events, Mysterious Gifts appear throughout Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, courtesy of Gamester.

Upon opening a present, a hero or villain would find that if they were "nice," they would enjoy a nice reward. If they were "naughty," however, they would find themselves surrounded by the Winter Horde, ready to make their holidays downright dangerous!

Gamester's Presents

"Nice" presents can include additional instances of the Mystery Gift, Present inspirations, pieces of Candy Cane Salvage, or sometimes a Present and a Candy Cane.

"Naughty" presents spawn groups of Winter Horde, whose spawn size is based on team members. Use caution when opening presents away from teammates.

Changed in the 2009 event, when enough (need number)+++ Missing Information +++ presents have been opened in any zone, a Winter Lord (Giant Monster) will spawn (previously, Winter Lord spawns were random occurrences on large teams). When the Winter Lord is defeated, he leaves behind a huge present (marked on the map) and a timer starts counting down. Anyone who clicks on the huge present before the timer reaches zero will be teleported to Lord Winter's realm when the timer reaches 0:00. Here, they face off against Lord Winter and his Winter Guardians and will earn Candy Canes, Reward Merits, and the Lord/Lady of Winter badge for defeating Lord Winter.

Lord Winter Dialogue

Before combat: "Soon winter will spread across all the lands and my icy grasp will hold everything."
Combat start: "I see that unwelcome visitors have entered my domain! I will give you a chilly - and painful - reception!"
At 3/4 health: "You are more powerful than I thought! Winter Guardian, I call you forth! While you stand, these mortals cannot harm me!"
At 1/2 health: "Again, you force me to summon my Winter Guardian. His presence will protect me from all damage."
At 1/4 health: "Nooo! Winter Guardian, I call you for the last time! Protect me from harm!"
