Tutorial[]
Use Scarlet Quartzes to lessen the effects of Sheer Cold. It might be the key to completing certain challenges. Scarlet Quartzes may be generated by some monsters defeated during challenges...
Besides this, you can use the attacks of Scarlet Quartzes to quickly shatter the Frost Thorns around the Cryo Regisvine's shield to break the shield.
This strange ridge of ice is known as a Seed of Winter. Break it to create a shield that can block attacks. Use this shield to stand against the special AoE attacks of the Cryo Regisvine.
Upon completion of the Frostborn Miracle, players can collect the treasure for free. For fun, each player is categorized based on their gameplay:
