The Frozen Maw is a meta event that takes place in Hunter's Lake and Frusenfell Creek in Wayfarer Foothills, and involves helping Scholar Brogun investigate the cause of the grawl in the area becoming unusually aggressive. Every two hours the Svanir Shaman Chief world boss arrives with Sons of Svanir, opening corrupted portals to bring Icebrood Elementals from the Mists, and starting a ritual to summon a Greater Ice Elemental to help them spread Jormag's corruption across the lake. A Glorious Chest is awarded if they are successfully stopped.

The giant Ice Elemental summoned by the Champion Svanir Shaman Chief.

Event schedule

See also: World boss#Global schedule, Event timers

The first three events of the meta occur regularly and follow Scholar Brogun after the grawl attack, to discover a Dragon Totem at the  Heart of Corruption — and destroy it. The initial event to protect Tor the Tall's supplies from the nearby grawl occurs at Krennak's Homestead, next to  Krennak's Homestead Waypoint — in Hunter's Lake.

The full event chain that spawns the Champion Svanir Shaman Chief world boss only occurs near the end of the night cycle every 2 hours at xx:15 (on the even hours for UTC server time), alternating on the shared hourly time slot with The Battle for Wychmire Swamp (Great Jungle Wurm) occuring during the day. The Shaman Chief will show up after the Dragon Totem is destroyed, summoning help and beginning the ritual.

Dialogue

After the Dragon Totem is destroyed

Champion Svanir Shaman Chief: How dare you defile my spirit's totem! Face the wrath of Dragon!

Scholar Brogun: Stop him! Do not let him summon any help!

Champion Svanir Shaman Chief: Bow down and despair!

Scholar Brogun: We have to interrupt the ritual!

Veteran Svanir Guard Leader: Stand back or die! The shaman must finish his ritual.

Scholar Brogun: We can't let the Sons gain control of the lake. Let's stop them first, then focus on the shaman's ritual.

Scholar Brogun: Don't worry about the ritual yet! We have to disrupt the Svanir takeover of the lake first.

If the Svanir Guards and Mists Portals have not been destroyed in time

Champion Svanir Shaman Chief: ?

Once the Svanir Guards and Mists Portals have been destroyed

Champion Svanir Shaman Chief: What? How did you get to me so fast? Fine! I can finish this quickly with a little effort.

After defeating the Champion Svanir Shaman Chief

Scholar Brogun: With that Son of Svanir defeated, the elemental lost its traction in our world, as I predicted.

Scholar Brogun: And Jormag's hold on the grawl is shattered. This triumph must be documented. But first, a fine ale.

Notes

• Failing any of the events won't change how the meta event plays out. It'll always move on to the next step.
• Scholar Brogun will say an audible line of "Finish your drinks, it's fighting time" that can be heard within range of him. At this point the event will begin.
• The event chain will end regardless if the totem is successfully destroyed and the Svanir Shaman Chief isn't scheduled to appear (Around 15 mins past the hour every second hour).

Trivia

• Before the Tequatl Rising release, beating all the pre-events before the timer ran out would reduce the Shaman's health by 25%.
