General Information

The Winter Holidays are an exciting, festive event within Secret World Legends. Each year sees new content and cosmetics joining the Winter Holidays, where yuletide joy spreads far and wide across the world.

Currently, the Winter Holidays consists of the Krampusnacht 2017 event, Fog and Mirrors 2018 event, and Hel open raid boss. More content is coming as Secret World Legends re-releases and revamps seasonal content from The Secret World. All cosmetics available through the years of The Secret World's Winter Holiday event bags are available during Krampusnacht 2017 in Secret World Legends.

For this season, Agartha itself is sprinkled with snow and decorated trees on its trunk. Presents and snowmen litter the Hollowed Halls of the World Tree as those within get in the spirit.

Seasonal Stickers

All cosmetic items acquired during a seasonal event have their entries marked in the Dressing Room, Pet and Sprint UI, and Emote UI with a special seasonal sale icon that signifies that an item or items is acquired through the event. These icons are seasonally appropriate in shape. Seasonally acquired cosmetics are bumped to the top of their UI lists during the event for greater visibility.

For the Winter Holidays, the icon is a festive tree topped with shining lights. If ever unsure what cosmetics are exclusive for the Winter Holidays, just look to the Yuletide tree.

Daily Login Rewards

Each new day during the Winter Holidays brings with it a unique seasonal Daily Login Reward available regardless of patronage. Claimable once per character, these rewards are in addition to the normal Daily Login Rewards. There are a set number of rewards and missing a day won't result in missing the reward for that day. There are 15 distinct seasonal login rewards for the Winter Holidays, but items are awarded for the entirety of the event for a total of 21 Login Rewards.

To bolster yuletide cheer, one of the earliest Winter Holiday Daily Login rewards is the ever-festive Figuros Padurii pet!

Krampusnacht

Krampusnacht comes to the Secret World! Krampusnacht includes wild Krampus spawns across the world and a unique seasonal dungeon: Niflheim.

Krampus

The Krampus Gate has been left open. Krampus himself runs rampant across all Adventure Zones excluding Kaidan and New Dawn, well after the Krampusnacht itself. The Holiday Devil is back to punish naughty, naughty children.

Krampus can be difficult to spot. He is often found hiding in nooks and crannies off of major roads, under bridges, along mountain crevices, or by trees. When spawning or loading into view, he appears in a poof of snow that can be spotted from afar.

Krampus can drop a variety of items when killed.

Krampus Loot

  • Krampus Rockets x 5 – Flares that knock the player down when used. Stack up to 100. 60 second cooldown.
  • Carelessly Wrapped Present – Contains the [Worn plain socks, ugly] clothing item.
  • Poorly Wrapped Present – Contains the [Secondhand Y-fronts, white] or [Secondhand bloomers, white] clothing item for male and female characters respectively.
  • Shabbily Wrapped Present – Contains the [Pre-owned tank top, dirty] clothing item.
  • A Zone Exclusive Drop – Item determined by the zone Krampus is killed in.

Some of the items dropped by Krampus are specifically exclusive to the corresponding zone he is killed in.

Zone Exclusive Drops

  • Kingsmouth Town — Lump of Coal
  • The Savage Coast — Dead Yew Branch
  • The Blue Mountain — Pouch of Soil
  • The Scorched Desert — Wolf Fang
  • City of the Sun God — Foul Whiskey Bottle
  • The Besieged Farmlands — Corpse Maggots
  • The Shadowy Forest — Severed Hand
  • The Carpathian Fangs — Snake Skin
  • Niflheim — Horns of Krampus; drops from the Krampus boss only.

Niflheim

When a wild Krampus is brought to half health, he runs off and then casts Krampus Gate. Krampus Gate opens a Portal to Niflheim. As soon as the Portal to Niflheim is up, Krampus begins to cast The Sideways Step. If allowed to complete The Sideways Step, Krampus will leave and the portal will close behind him. Kill Krampus before he successfully finishes The Sideways Step in order to have access to the Portal to Niflheim.

The Portal to Niflheim persists for 1 minute 5 seconds or until Krampus finishes his Sideways Step.

The realm of Niflheim is a frigid underworld accessible during the Krampusnacht portion of the Winter Holidays Event as a small Dungeon appropriate for groups of one (1) to five (5) players. It can only be reached by entering a Portal opened by Krampus throughout Adventure Zones. There are two bosses within Niflheim: Krampus and Hel. The final encounter of Niflheim, Hel, is only available by summoning her through proper use of 9 Zone-Exclusive Ritual Reagents. Each zone-exclusive item is a drop from Krampus corresponding to the zone he was killed in.

While in Niflheim, Equal Footing will be active to allow any player to solo the Krampus content within; however, Krampus isn't the only boss within Niflheim. A summoning ritual requiring all 9 zone-exclusive reagents is necessary to summon Hel once Krampus is defeated.

There are two modes to Niflheim: Normal Mode (or 'Easymode'), and Nightmare Mode ('Hardmode', the equivalent of 'E5'). Against the left hall of Niflheim (245,250) is the Altar of Niflheim. Activation of the Altar will swap between the two difficulties. When Nightmare Mode is in effect, Equal Footing will deactivate for the final encounter of Niflheim: Hel; however, she can be faced on either difficulty.

Krampus

Many Krampus litter Niflheim in small herds. Once all herds are dealt with, the true Krampus appears.

Krampus, the penultimate encounter within Niflheim, has 1290074 HP and is Immune to CC. He has two abilities, Ruten Smite and Cloven Stomp, which should be avoided. It is entirely possible to solo Krampus while the Equal Footing buff is in effect. As the only encounter in the cold realm to not require a ritual, Krampus may be the only boss seen by a group that does not intend to fight Hel or have the items necessary to do so.

The final Krampus drops the last Zone Exclusive Drop: the Horns of Krampus himself.

Niflheim Krampus Drops

  • Horns of Krampus - Ritual reagent exclusively from the Krampus boss within Niflheim.
  • Krampus Rockets x 5 - Flares that knock the player down when used. Stack up to 100. 60 second cooldown.
  • Novelty plastic nose, red - Clothing item that is effectively a clown nose. Krampus sure loves to joke around.
  • Carelessly Wrapped Present - Contains the [Worn plain socks, ugly] clothing item.
  • Poorly Wrapped Present - Contains the [Secondhand Y-fronts, white] or [Secondhand bloomers, white] clothing item for male and female characters respectively.
  • Shabbily Wrapped Present - Contains the [Pre-owned tank top, dirty] clothing item.
  • Mischievous Tuft - Museum Piece used to upgrade the Superior Krampus exhibit to Paragon.

Hel

Hel herself can be summoned within her halls in Niflheim using all 9 summoning items dropped by the Krampusse across Adventure Zones and Niflheim.

Unlike her son Krampus, Hel is no pushover; her fight has multiple mechanics to be aware of. Normal Hel requires one (1) player with a recommended minimum of two (2) players to survive. Nightmare Hel is best defeated with a full group of five (5) bees.

Defeating Hel in either difficulty both awards and complete a version of the mission Feeding Hunger With Famine which reward distinct Item Reward Bags. The two difficulty versions of the mission do not share a cooldown.

Niflhel Drop List

  • Festive gift bag - A small bag that may contain consumables or cosmetics.
  • 1,200 Anima Shards - Drops from Hel in Normal Mode.
  • 2,400 Anima Shards - Drops from Hel in Nightmare Mode.
  • Icy Claws - Only when Hel has been made to Flinch. This has a chance to occur when using Emote: Snowball during Judgement of Hel (otherwise known as Light/Dark). They will drop for everyone in the group should this occur.

NOTE: It is not possible to summon additional players to Niflheim if Hel has already been engaged. Please reset the fight if another person still needs to enter Niflheim within your group. It is entirely possible to join an already summoned Hel as long as she is not in combat.

Fog and Mirrors

Fog and Mirrors

A strange phone can be found in the clutches of the festive foes stalking the secret world. In this phone contains secrets and ciphers ready and waiting to be uncovered.

Available from the Slightly Damaged Mobile Phone, which drops from Winter Holiday Champions, the Investigation Mission Fog and Mirrors offers a plethora of puzzles to decrypt and decipher.

Fog and Mirrors
See HERE for an in-depth guide for Fog and Mirrors and its various ciphers!

Bounty: Winter Holidays Champions

A series of challenging seasonal champions stalk the wicked winds of Winter. These champions can only be encountered during the Winter Holidays, many of them requiring unique circumstances and methods in order to summon and defeat. To help in the hunt, a bounty has been placed at the Paragon Activity Boards in Agartha [(585,150) and (535,225)]; however, you do not need the side mission in order to face these champions. They are visible on the minimap when in close proximity.

Killing a Winter Holiday Champion causes it to drop a Gift-Wrapped Present and go on an individual loot and mission credit cooldown for the next 18 hours.

These champions scale according to the Level and Item Power of the player who summons them.

Winter Holiday Champions

Each Adventure Zone excluding New Dawn contains a single Winter Holiday Champion:

  • Kingsmouth Town — Tragedy
  • The Savage Coast — Groundskeeper Hammond
  • The Blue Mountain — Max
  • The Scorched Desert — Cursed Soul of Greed
  • City of the Sun God — Warsmith
  • The Besieged Farmlands — Window-Peeper
  • The Shadowy Forest — The Grunch
  • The Carpathian Fangs — Permafrost
  • Kaidan — The Forgotten

Hel

With the Krampus Gate left open, something far more powerful has access to Agartha. Upon the Steps to Niflheim await Hel. She will not suffer foolish bees lightly.

Hel is a 40-player Open Raid encounter within the Steps to Niflheim instance accessible in Agartha. She is frequently referred to as Super Hel due to the enormous size and health of this version of Hel. Every 00:02 minutes past the hour, the portal to the Steps to Niflheim becomes active for 10:00 minutes. While bosses inside may last after that period of time, no more may enter to face Hel once those 10 minutes have passed. The portal to the Steps to Niflheim can be found between the Agartha Pad to the Training Grounds and the Transylvania region just outside of the Hollowed Halls (550,250). Players within the Steps to Niflheim are buffed with Equal Footing so that their stats are scaled evenly regardless of their levels or item power.

While Hel technically has no enrage, she will either vanish after 30 minutes or at 0:42 minutes after the hour if still engaged in combat by that time.

Defeating Hel gives the buff Anima Surge, which allows a player to open a Malevolent Snowflake within 10 minutes.

There are no level requirements necessary to enter and face Hel. A player only needs to have met Jack Boone in Kingsmouth Town to participate.

NOTE: As of 2020, It is not possible to do Hel for the Item Reward Bag multiple times within a single period while the portal is open. The associated mission had no cooldown in previous years, but this was unintended behavior and has since been fixed.

Running into the portal while it is inactive will cause a popup to appear displaying the time remaining until it next opens.

Defeating Hel within the Steps to Niflheim rewards the mission Mother of a Season. This mission has a 30 minute cooldown.

Mother of a Season
The up-to-date guide for Mother of a Season is now available!

Malevolent Snowflakes

During the Winter Holidays, Malevolent Snowflakes can be claimed alongside seasonal Daily Login Rewards. These sinister snowflakes can only be opened while affected by the Anima Surge buff acquired from defeating Hel in Agartha. They contain cosmetics galore - clothing, pets, titles, and even sprints!

Malevolent Snowflake Rewards

The Malevolent Snowflakes bestow their gifts upon a person in a specific order. The first Snowflake opened will always have the same items unless all items being rewarded are already owned, as may be the case if a character has Legacy cosmetics from TSW. If all items of a Snowflake tier are already owned, the following Snowflake's rewards will be given until there are no new rewards. Any Malevolent Snowflakes opened when all cosmetic rewards are owned by the character opening them will instead reward 2,000 Anima Shards.

Malevolent Snowflakes opened outside of the Winter Holidays will reward a flat 1,000 Anima Shards regardless.

Malevolent Snowflake Reward List

  • Malevolent Snowflake 2 - Elfin cap, green and Elfin tunic, green

Clothing Rewards

The Winter Holiday event has a variety of clothing pieces to earn. These can be previewed in the Dressing Room and can be easily found thanks to the green festive tree icon denoting a Winter Holiday seasonal item. The following clothing rewards are received through achievements or drop directly from specific yuletide monsters and bosses.

Knitted reindeer sweater, black

The Knitted reindeer sweater, black is awarded from the achievement, "Cold Snap" for completing all Krampusnacht 2017 achievements.

Penguin onesie

The adorable Penguin onesie uniform is awarded from the achievement, "The Two-Faced Mother" for defeating Hel in Niflheim without avoiding her stacking DoT debuff. To do so, allow all 3 add phases to occur with adds intact.

Icy Claws

Icy Claws are a special drop from Hel in Niflheim. In order for them to drop, Hel must Flinch during the fight before she is defeated. In doing so, the Icy Claws will drop for every player present in the group upon her defeat. Hel can be made to Flinch by using Emote: Snowball on her during Judgement.
