A Great Heart Fettered by Slender Chains
Location: Everfrozen Earth
Prerequisites: Obtain the Eye of Graeae and a weapon in the Archon Quest “Everwinter Without Mercy”
Duration: ~25 min
In the middle of the snowstorm, on Everfrozen Earth, you meet a giant Snegovik in chains. To start the World Quest A Great Heart Fettered by Slender Chains, approach the giant. You will need to break 4 chains holding him. Be careful and don’t leave the chains until you destroy them because you will have to start each chain again.
The first chain is northwest of the Snegovik, in a crevice. Defeat the Chimeric Horned Bear near the chain to free the shadow. Follow the shadow, and she will remove the seal from the chain. After this, the chain can be destroyed with normal attacks.
The second chain is northeast of the Snegovik, a little further than the first one. To remove the seal from the second chain, you need to escort the girl's shadow.
- Place a Launching Platform so the girl can move forward
- Dismantle the ice door
- Dismantle both Snegurochka
- Place a Grappling Gun to open the path
- Dismantle both Snegurochka
- Wait for the girl to remove the seal and destroy the chain with normal attacks
The third chain is located in the southeast of the ice plain, near the cave. To enter the cave, you need to obtain a temporary Snowball Launcher blueprint. Place the Snowball Launcher opposite the cave and shoot it so you can fly over the branches blocking the cave.
Inside, you'll see a girl's shadow next to an empty painting. Interact with the painting to solve the puzzle. Dismantle the ice wall and, using the temporary animal blueprints, arrange them as shown in the painting. Afterward, sit on the chair. The shadow will complete the painting and remove the seal from the chain. After this, the chain can be destroyed with normal attacks.
The fourth chain is located in the southwest of the ice plain, near the wooden hut.
Since the door to the hut is blocked by ice, go around the house, climb up to the roof, and go down the chimney. Obtain a temporary phonograph blueprint and place it under the painting. Then, place the phonograph on the chair opposite where the girl was sitting. Then place the phonograph under the cabinet. After this, the girl's shadow will leave the house and remove the seal from the chain, which can be destroyed with normal attacks.
Once all the chains are removed, the Snegovik will leave.
