Flintbeard and Ironbeard

Hey folks,

It’s that time of year again when Flintbeard declares the season of Flintmas upon us, bringing with it the return of our three holiday dungeons!

All three dungeons – Flintbeard’s Lair (normal), Flintbeard’s Lair (Flintmas version), and Flintbeard’s Backyard can be found in the rooms around v18093.

Completing any of the dungeons will award you giftbags (one per Howling per dungeon completion), fame if you don’t have it yet, and autographs which can be spent at Gilbert’s shop.

Speaking of festivities, Ironbeard has returned to town! Holly trees and mistletoe bushes will spawn randomly across the land, their locations changing every so often. You’ll need to SNAP (tree) to get a branch of holly, and PULL (bush) to obtain a sprig of mistletoe. Once you’ve obtained one of each, head down to your favourite pub or tavern so you can DECK THE HALLS and HANG MISTLETOE to decorate it in a bit of Celesmas cheer. Once done, the tavern owner will give you a platter of sausages and beer. Do note that this won’t work at all pubs and taverns, you should receive a hint upon entering one if you have the quest.

Throughout the day, Ironbeard will pick out people who have platters to visit. The more platters you have, the higher the chance of him visiting you is! When he chooses you to visit, he’ll hand over one of his coveted giftbags and gobble up ALL the platters you have (he’s a hungry fellow). NOTE: The platter quest can only be done once per real day!

Remember, with the recent speedrun reset, this is your perfect chance to claim those top spots before all three dungeons close again at the end of December!

Additionally, the two Tsinkin villages will also be opening soon after, with new wares for you to nab from their shops. Big thanks to Watson for maintaining these wonderful holiday traditions!

Good luck!
