Freeing the Dain

Level 90HallmarkHeroic

Walkthrough

Access

The Tower of Frozen Shadow can be entered by clicking on a mirror at in the Great Divide. You have the choice between several instances:

Tower of Frozen Shadow: Shadowed Corridors (Heroic) - This zone encompasses the 1st - 3rd floors of the Tower
Tower of Frozen Shadow: Umbral Halls (Heroic) - This zone encompasses the 4th - 6th floors of the Tower
Tower of Frozen Shadow: Haunt of Syl'Tor (Heroic) - This zone covers the 7th and 8th floors of the Tower
Tower of Frozen Shadow (Epic x2) - This zone contains all 7 floors as well as Tserrina on the 8th floor. You must complete Finding the Dain in the heroic version of this dungeon to gain access.

Note that there are two versions of Tower of Frozen Shadow and you may not be able to tell the difference on the mirror (they aren’t labeled (Heroic) and/or (x2) for some people; they only appear as Tower of Frozen Shadow). This guide doubles as a walkthrough for the Epic x2 version.
