Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate)

To enter the Ice Wizard's Tower, you first need to finish the Katovic Snowfield quest line.

Note: The following Raid/Quest/Adventure is meant for Grand Master players only (Grand Masters are the level 140 members)

Reaching the Summit of the World of Granado Espada - Ice Wizard's Tower

Guide by Starstorm from the Iah Forums

Author’s Note:
This article is for GM (Grand master) only. Normal players should not go; at least for 2-3 months, the Ice Wizard’s Tower is a forbidden place! This is because the attacks of the monsters within are no longer like those of normal monsters. Normal attacks are laced with mental type, directly bypass Defense Rating to deal damage.

TL: Uncertain about translation for 元素属性…

There is a mysterious tower at the end of the Snowfield of the Ice Wizard. Nobody knows when this tower was constructed, or who constructed it. Legend has it that it was constructed when Ferruccio’s exploration team was in Katovic Snowfield, but some find it dubious as the huge tower far exceeded the team’s manpower and resources to construct. Who can solve the mysteries of the Ice Wizard’s Tower? When people see this legend, there will be a rush for adventure! I am no different… My curiosity resolves a bold and firm decision – to explore the Ice Wizard’s Tower!

The Ice Wizard’s Tower lies at the end of the Snowfield of the Ice Wizard. Although it was not labeled on the map, its high and strange shape allows the tower to be spotted miles away. Driven by curiosity, I explored around and finally found the base of the Ice Wizard’s Tower at grid K5 on the map.

An ice statue of a woman can be found in front of the tower gate.

But this frozen maiden also tells us an important message: In order to enter the Ice Wizard’s Tower, you must complete all the quests in Katovic Snowfield. Talking to the frozen maiden statue after completing Katovic Snowfield quests will allow entry into the Ice Wizard’s Tower! Quest completion rewards one with a permanent* key! It is similar to Underground Relics, all players can enter within 10 minutes after the tower is opened!

The first zone is Ice Wizard’s Tower – 1F.

TL: 永久性进入钥匙… 永 = forever, 久 = long/duration, 性 = type, 进入 = entry, 钥匙 = key.

Ice Wizard’s Tower – 1F

The monsters here are nightmares, compared to monsters in other maps! Adventurers will not be able to easily come and go as they please anytime soon. Ice Wizard’s Tower – 1F seems to have only 2 types of monsters: the busty and sexy Glacial Valkyrie; and the fat, ugly Eldum. Note that while they are strong, they are vulnerable to lightning.

After killing these monsters, they commonly drop a type of stone called Black Magic Stone. It is frightening that once you pick up the stone, you will be affected by a Resonance status: Attack, attack speed, and movement speed reduce by 50%, maximum hit points also reduce by 30%

But you cannot just ignore the stones… Because, if you intend to go to Ice Wizard’s Tower – 2F, you must open the 4 Sealed Crystals in 1F map. The gate to 2F will appear only by opening the 4 Sealed Crystals to let them sound out. And the method to open the Sealed Crystals is: every 10 Wizard Soul Stones can open 1 Sealed Crystal.

Map of the 1st Floor


When the 4 Sealed Crystals are opened, the system will notify “Ice Wizard’s Tower – 1F portal is opened”, and the portal to 2F is now opened.

Ice Wizard’s Tower – 2F

Upon entering the portal, adventurers can come to the entry of Ice Wizard’s Tower - 2F.

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

Now, we have arrived at Ice Wizard’s Tower - 2F!

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

It is the same as 1F. To open the gate to 3F, the Sealed Crystals must be unsealed. Unlike 1F however, when all the Sealed Crystals are unsealed, adventurers also need to go to the “Ice Crystal Room” and seal the 4 “Snowfield Finisher” (?) to open the entrance to 3F.

Map of the 2nd Floor

After opening all the “Sealed Crystals”, you can enter the “Crystal Room” through the “Crystal Entrance” in the middle of the map. Adventurers will notice that the normally quiet cogwheels (?) suddenly spin noisily, causing the Crystal Room to rise up…

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

There is a monster within the Crystal Room called “Snowfield Finisher” (?). Adventurers must seal 4 “Snowfield Finisher” in order to access 3F entrance. How then do you seal “Snowfield Finisher”? Simply kill them.

After killing them, they will become frozen. Strictly speaking not dead yet, they will recover after a while. Only by sealing 4 “Snowfield Finisher” at the same time can the entrance to 3F be opened.

After successfully sealing them, the system will notify “3F Entrance is open”. OK, the time is now, talk to the crystal in the middle of the Crystal Room to return to 2F corridor, and then find 3F entrance!

Ice Wizard’s Tower – 3F

OK, we have arrived at Ice Wizard’s Tower – 3F!

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

It is the same as the previous 2 levels, 3F also has a lot of Sealed Crystals. Unlike the previous levels, unsealing all the Sealed Crystals will spawn “Snowfield Zealot” (?) which has been sealed for a thousand years. To gain access to 4F, adventurers need to defeat “Snowfield Zealot”, who is the guardian of the entrance to 4F.

Map of the 3rd Floor
After unsealing all the Sealed Crystals and after the system notify “In the main hall of 3F, ‘Snowfield Zealot’ has appeared”, go to the area in the screenshot below to defeat “Snowfield Zealot”.

After defeating it, you can search for the entrance to 4F in the corridor!

Ice Wizard’s Tower – 4F

Now, we have arrived at Ice Wizard’s Tower – 4F!

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

In the zone map, adventurers will find that 4F map is the same as 2F map. It also has a “Crystal Room”. Correct, the method to clear 4F is the same as 2F. First unseal all the “Sealed Crystals”, then enter the “Crystal Room” to seal “Snowfield Decomposer” (?). Finally, return to the main hall’s corridor to search for entrance to 5F.

Map of the 4th Floor


You must seal at least 4 of the powerful “Snowfield Decomposer” (?) to open the entrance to 5F.

After sealing 4 of them, the entrance to 5F will be opened in 4F corridor!

Ice Wizard’s Tower – 5F

Now, we have arrived at Ice Wizard’s Tower – 5F! Pass through another portal will reach the lair of the legendary Ice Queen!

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

Map of the 5th Floor

Ice Wizard’s Tower 5F is different from 4F. There is no Sealed Crystal. Instead, there is a huge portal in the middle of the map! But it is blocked by huge ice boulders.

Ice Wizard's Tower (Gate) - Wiki of the new world

You can see the portal, but can’t get through. What to do now? This level does not have the Sealed Crystals of the previous levels to open the portal. After half a day of searching, we suddenly discovered that every small room has only one Medium size boss. Its huge amount of HP can easily differentiate it from the other mobs.

After entering the portal, we arrived at the huge portal mentioned earlier…

Once here, what do we do? Kill another portal guardian Medium boss “Snowfield Decomposer” (?)…

Ice Wizard’s Tower – Ice Queen's Chamber

Finally, we arrived at the pinnacle of Granado Espada, the highest level of Ice Wizard’s Tower – “Ice Queen’s Chamber”! She is the legendary “Ice Queen” (Novia)!

Just imagine what drops you can get by challenging such a boss. Leave the details to the first batch of brave warriors to find out!
