Magnakilro's Guide to the Frostbitten Achievement
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 10:30 pm
hello and welcome to another example of my own lifelessness! We've done so much together it brings a tear to my eye..../sniff. We've befriended raptors, tigers, sex addicted frogs, bug tanks, tamed a king, befriended a rare proto drake, recieved a gift from the Life Binder and killed the most elusive beings in outland. Today we shall accomplish another feat: Kill the most elusive denizens of northrend. *begin rp* These creatures are so elusive that the gods have bestowed them with the mark of the winged silver dragon (rare elite, wingless is just rare) *end rp*
WARNING: 7 of the creatures on this list are TAMEABLE, all but one being unique (Terror Spinner being that one) and 4 of which are part of this ach (the sholazar trio and Terror Spinner) please be sure that no one else wants to tame these creatures or that you are sure that you don't want them before you make the kill.
Now that that's outta the way, let's see wat we'll need:
1: macro's or NPCscan
2: an epic flyer helps (must have Cold weather flying for this or else you can't use it)
3: PATIENCE
4: LUCK
5: Must be able to accept killing 3 of the most unique and sought after beasts in the game (the Sholazar Trio)
Once you have those, we can begin the hunt!
Note: There are no rares in Wintergrasp, Crystalsong, Dalaran, or any raid or 5 man in Northrend
Fun Fact: All Northrend rares are elites (silver winged dragon)
Fun Fact 2: 99% of the time...Northrend rares are a completely unique creature to the area it's in
Howling Fjord:
1: King Ping: rare penguin. Spawns mostly along the western edge of Scalawag Point but can be found on some edges of the island with the Tuskarr village
2: Vigdis the Warmaiden: rare vrykul woman on a black proto drake. If you open the big map....near nidavalir (directly east of it) there will be a block of grass bordered by 3 roads and a cliff......she generally spawns there.
3: Perobas the Bloodthirster: rare worgen. search the entire snowy section of HF (the northern mountainous region) east of Camp Winterhoof (excluding mountains).
Borean Tundra:
1: Fumblub Gearwind: rare mechagnome in a flying machine. He flies around Geyser fields (he can be found pretty much anywhere over those fields) Ranged attacks/flying mount recommended for pulling.
Fun Fact: This guy has officially won the contest for "Best First Name Ever" Congratz Fumblub!
2: Icehorn: rare untameable rhino. Search around Transborea to find him. He's the only rhino that spawns there.
3: Old Crystalbark: rare ancient. Spawns in Coldarra. Has the body of a Glacial Ancient, with the colors of a Magic-bound Ancient (a model shared with Warp Splinter in Botanica)
Dragonblight:
1: Tukemuth: rare mammoth. Has many possible ares to appear in. Just fly a circle around wyrmrest temple, then head to that frozen lake with all the revenants and fly north until u see the end of that big pathway that leads out of the northern side of wyrmrest. Far bigger then the other mammoths
2: Scarlet Highlord Daion: rare female scarlet Onslaught member. Spawns in New Hearthglen, the scarlet camps around Naxx, and a small scarlet outpost west of Light's trust.
3: Crazed Indu'le Survivor: rare tuskarr. Despite his name, he is NOWHERE NEAR Indu'le Village. Search for him from Star's Rest to the Borean Tundra border.
Grizzly Hills: Note: there is a rare here, Arcturis, that is not part of this ach. You can kill if you want but make sure no one wants him 1st
1: Seething Hate: rare flesh beast (looks like the Volatile Mutations in the lvl 1-5 draenei place). Spawns at the 3 "Vordrassil Caves"
2: Syreian the Bonecarver: rare vrykul lady. Look for her around the area where all of those Iron Dwarves and Runed Giants are located. Start from the cliff wall west of Drakil'jin Ruins then fly southeast, following a road till you hit a crossroad (one leading back the way u came, one leading to Dun'argol, one leading to western Grizzly Hills). From here, fly to Camp Oneqwah, and fly north back to the starting point.
Fun Fact: This girl drops her pants when killed.
3: Grocklar: rare Iron Giant (like Emalon, 'cept not a boss). Head to the northwest corner of Grizzly hills and follow it tll u hit some troll ruins. From there, fly till you see a road. Fly further south of it (but not too far) and search from the shoreline all the way east to Voldrune. From there head north of Conquest Hold and search the large plains-like area u see.
4: Arcturis: rare bear-like spirit beast. Not an ach target. Only seems to spawn in one spot unlike his other spirit brethren. He appears where the words "Amberpine Lodge" are located on the big map...just search around there.
