The Frost Gate (Mission)

The Frost Gate

The Frost Gate was built by the Deldimor Dwarves as a way to protect their homes from invaders coming through Borlis Pass. When civil war broke out, the gate fell into the hands of the Stone Summit, a xenophobic group of Dwarven renegades who are trying to overthrow King Jalis Ironhammer. Now, no one gets through the pass unless the Summit allows it.

comments and responses

	This mission isnt hard i did it with a level 10 elemetalist/necromancer using only henchmen. No bonus	Sire Chris 21/11/2008 20:50
	advice for anyone using henchmen or other guild players for co-op missions. when you are faced with overwhelming odds. wait awhile to see if any of them move, follow their patterns. the stone summit have a habbit of not moving. but they can be drawned out. use your flag on your compass to order your henchman to a location. then by yourself approach the group of stone summit. (note the white circle on the map is you and anything touching it will attack). approach as close as necessary to lure 3 or 4 of them at a time. this does work. but you will take heavy damage. you will have to pause while running back to make sure the summit follow. once they do they will be ambushed your forces waiting at your marker. if you die you will be resurected by your healer or your necro (flesh of flesh). then try again. i cant tell you how many times this worked not in this game but also in Rome Total War. yeah believe that!	miller 02/02/2007 21:09
	Finally completed mission after 3-4 attempts. (did not try for bonus) Key is taking on the numerous dwarves at the last (eastern) gate mechanism. Reinforcements come at you from the oppisite direction as you attack them. I suggest not attacking group at last mechanism, but wait some distance away from the mechanism and intercept the reinforcements as they arrive. Some of the dwarves at the last mech will join the fight in ones & twos, but it's managable. I did this as a lvl 16 W/e and the 5 henchman (brawler/healer/mage/cultist & archer) Good Hunting.	mongo schwartz 23/01/2007 12:44
	If you are going for the bonus, kill off all the Monsters on the path that leads to the broken Ballista (07 on map) BEFORE you talk to Ronark for the first time... Otherwise Ronark will follow you and then get killed in the fight. You will be unable to repair the Ballista and thus unable to complete the Bonus!!!	Dibodium 29/12/2006 07:28
	I have not completed this mission as of today, but I was able to do the bonus by first clearing the ballista area then going back into the cave to get Ronark so that he does not die during fight. My problem is that my healer always gets 3-4 adds on her (I have never grouped with real people) and I do not make it all the way to the last lever. I am a lvl 17 W/R sword spec. I will try again tonight and hopefully able to pull less adds where the bonus chest is at so that I can get down further with a healer =)	Led Zepolot 21/12/2006 12:58
	I have never managed to complete this quest even with my level 15 necro, at this point is there a better necro armor than bone lace? can't be my weapon it's from a bonus code, max energy and max damage staff. this level is just annoying	Zabuza Pwnz U 02/12/2006 12:06
	Heh i did WTFdood we were 3human players and 3 henchmen, Mage, Warrior, Healer Not that hard... Just take your time like Amy says.. And oh.. The guy who kills who kills Rurik , Do we kill him? I really want to	Ram 27/10/2006 23:44
	Sorry Amy I read it wrong your not level 20. opps oh well happy gaming..	WTFdood 27/10/2006 00:20
	Of cource its not hard Amy your level 20! For the rest of us how are working towards that goal it can be difficult. I will try it again when i'm level 17, or maybe i'll wait untill i'm level 20 just like you.	WTFdood 27/10/2006 00:08
	Did it last night with a group of five. One lvl 20 rest around 12 including self. There is nothing really hard about this mission, except it is a little long. Yes we got the bonus too. If you are having trouble with this mission it is probably because you are impatient and need to learn how to strategize. What is with people who say they are SURE about something when in fact they are dead wrong. Such people are all over the world - and all over Guild Wars. Check your sources ya fools, I mean really. SLOW DOWN and get your facts straight, at least before you start going around handing out false knowledge.	Amy 24/10/2006 19:19
	I've tried it 6 times as of today oct 22/06, mainly with other players , with skill levels range from 13 to 15, me i'm level 16 WR. Not a push over by any means. So what gives? Is this mission even possible to do or what? I'm just thinking at this point to skip it all together. Too frustrating.	WTFdood 22/10/2006 17:05
	yea... :( got trapped in an army of stone summit howlers etc... died after a while .. outnumbered 4:1	Failed it too 22/10/2006 01:30
	Yeah I failed it today.	pxk 20/10/2006 23:26
	A bug often makes it possible to complete this mission even if Rurik is already dead.	Imaculata 04/03/2006 01:18
