Winter is Coming

The Winter is Coming dungeon is the  Assassin bronze challenge. The boss is a  Frozen Troll named Shared with nigh undefeatable might.

Preparations

No preparations are allowed in this dungeon

Resources Available

The dungeon will always have the  IMAWAL and  BYSSEPS glyphs, and has regular shops. There are no altars available for worship. You begin with a "contract" in your inventory that can be converted for 100 CP.

Shard

The boss Shard is immensely powerful, with wicked damage, health, and resistances. However, he is only 7th level, meaning an 8th level Assassin can kill him instantly using swift hands. As a result, the real challenge of this dungeon is leveling up from the other monsters.

Strategy

The easiest approach to this dungeon is to play as a  Goblin, allowing you to convert things for experience points. It's basically impossible to lose if you follow this route, but if you wish to win as other races you will need to aggressive pursue bonus experience. The best approach is to attack higher-level Meat Men using poison and petrify low-level Frozen Corpses to multiply your earnings. If you have not yet unlocked goblins, your best option is to play as a  Human. This dungeon is not particularly difficult even without the goblin experience boost.
