    [​IMG] How many of you have found him? :D

    I haven't seen him mentioned in any of the walkthroughs, so I'm wondering if this is more or less a secret. :1eye:

    I have found no such thing. Then again, I haven't finished the game yet so..

    I will look out for it, in which chapter can it be found?

    If it's yeti, I've seen him. :p

    I believe it was somewhere around Fell Wood.

    Cold marshes? But I know I went everywhere on that map. How can this be?!
    Come on Tal, tell us the exact position. You will tell, won't you?

    [​IMG] Sure. Right after the barbarian rock puzzle (upwards), to the left there is a rock wall that seems unclimbable anywhere... Well, there actually is a path that doesn't look like a path at all, that you can use to climb to the top... Just wave your walk cursor around and see where you can walk on the rocks and you'll soon find it. It will look like you're going *behind* the small mountain protrusion. On top of it, you'll find the Abominable Snowman. Be prepared, he's nearly immune to practically everything.

    As for loot, I don't know if it's random or not, but I didn't find anything breathtaking, but still nice. A bow that I could sell for 9k (nothing breathtaking, I had better at that point), but also the Wandering Village armour, which is quite expensive to buy otherwise. There were also a few mundane armours and weapons lying around.

    Sure, feel free. Btw, fix "tankers" to tanks in your walkthrough. A tanker is a big ship hauling oil. A tank is a heavily armoured character, i.e. like an army tank. ;)

    I found the snowman :)

    He has a reasonable spellresistance as well as physical resists, but tossing fireballs and shooting flame arrows with my archer got him down.

    As for the drop, I tried three times, and all three times I got the Flamekiller bow. Which sucks, because I was hoping I'd get the armor that dropped for Taluntain. Now I've got a +1 bow. Yay. :)

    Sounds interesting, i lost my old game when i formatted the computer, and im up to defeating sherincal, so it should only be about 1 day of playing away.

    @Faragorn

    I am reasonably sure that any random enchanted items are pre determined at the beginning of the game, so reloading to get a decent wep wouldnt work. I could be wrong, though.

    Cheers.

    Faragon, I found that bow too... But I think the armour was in the stash that's a bit further along the path where you see the snowman. Use your alt key to find it.

    :doh:

    The stash held the armor indeed.

    I automatically assumed the snowman held all the loot.

    Thanks Tal :thumb:

    I once climbed that cliff but never got that far.
    I am now in Ice Temple(HoF) and I will sure pay a visit to this snowman. Playing HoF, I think I can expect a pretty tough fight, however.

    Lower Resist and Fire attacks should do the trick nicely. And seeing how I've got two clerics a mage and a sorcerer, I doubt he'll be very tough for my party in HoF :D

    Think Flamestrike, Utiluke's Fire Orb, Summon Fire Elemental, Fireballs, Shroud of Flame, Sunburst... Oh yeah :thumb:

    So, he is vulnerable to fire? Hmm, that makes sense.
    BTW, what fire orb?
