Rs Christmas 2010 Event Guide - "O Little Town of Daemonheim

Welcome to the 2010 Christmas event Guide in Runescape; "O Little Town of Daeomoheim. This guide will set you up and help you complete it fast. For any questions, feel free to ask throught the comments below and I or someone else shall be there to help out promptly.

Quest/Event Location: Start in daemonheim, right next to the rewards trader

Difficulty: Easy-Medium  Estimated Time; 15-20 minutes

Rewards: Salty Claws Hat, Snowman dune emote, Golden Hammer

1. The Start of this event is right next to the rewards trader in daemonheim.

2. Talk to Thorvar Crittersmash and ask him about the Heimland Games. After you agree to help him, he will give you a bag and a bucket.

Tip: Throughout the event, always pick-up the various items that you see on the ground, or else you might have to re-do some of the levels.

For instance, after Thorvar Crittersmash teleports you to the room, pick up the snowman accessories from the ground. Then advance to the center of the room, where a cut scene will take place.

The Icicles will light up in same time and then light up one by one in a particular order. You will have to;

3. Remember and repeat that exact sequence in which the Icicles light up.

Keep in mind that you will need to use some memory as the sequences are different for all players. And every time that you tap the switch, a new sequence will be given. If you don’t have the best of memories, then a good tip would be to draw a small map of the Icicles on a piece of paper and then tag these with numbers as the sequence is being displayed.

When you will get 3 successful sequences, a door leading to the next room will be unlocked. As you enter the next room, you notice your character walking on all fours. You can also see on the upper left area of the screen, a box with alternating green and red colors.

So your next task will be to;

4. Sneak your way north of the room towards the Angel while it’s back is turned on you and touch the Angel when you get within distance.

On the upper left area of the screen, you can observe that a box with alternating green and red colors will appear; When green is on, it means that the Angel has it’s back turned on you and it is safe to walk north towards it. When Red is on however, this means that the Angel can see you, and unless you are behind a snow blanket, the Angel will teleport you back to the starting point of the puzzle. In other words, move north towards then next snow blanket when green is on, and stand still when red gets on. When the timing is right, touch the Angel to advance to the next level.

5. Onto the next room now, pick-up the item on the ground and right-click on “Thorvar’s bag”, and click on the “use trinklet Thorvar’s Bag” in order to turn into a seal and be able to slide on the icy ground as it’s called.

When you’re on the ice, the action is pretty self-explanatory; dodge the holes in the ice and make your way to the portals, leading you yet to another room.

6. Now your task will be to simply get through all the doors until you reach the next and last level.

The door order is different for all players. Now it may seem totally random-based, but I’ve found for myself that I would get through doors more frequently from the ones that I’ve previously passed through. So try to remember which doors worked for you and which ones didn’t. There is still some randomness in this method though and most likely will not work 100% of the time, but I’ve found my odds to be considerably better than just going totally random on doors. Keep in mind to pick-up items that you find on the ground.

If you’ve made your way through all the doors then congratulations, you have only one challenge left before completing the 2010 xmas event!

The next and finally last room to be dealt with is relatively easy compared to the previous one. You have to catch (click) the crab with the santa hat.

7. Keep a close eye on the fishing holes on the ice where crabs will pop up, and stay next to the Ice. When the crab with the santa hat will appear, click on it as fast as you can.

Now go speak to Thorvar Crittersmash/The guy dressed as Santa again. He will be surprised of your courage and you will find out that he really is Santa.

Congratulations! You have now completed the 2010 Christmas event in Runescape. Santa Claus will give you rewards (see below) and also invite you to the heimland games – a fine Christmas-themed place with more activities, yet to be reviewed here.

Rewards: Salty Claws Hat , Snowman dune emote, Golden Hammer. Soundtracks and emotes unlocked from the event include; Snowman dune emote ,Seasonal sports Soundtrack, dramatic point emote, and the freeze emote

Runescape Bits is looking for Help!

After 8 months of existence, I think that the time to expand this blog has finally come. Runescape Bits will remain a blog and (smallish)community like it was in the past, new blog posts will pop up like they were before,  etc... The main addition however, will be of a new collection of useful rs guides that I want to put up, if people are willing to help in exchange for free membership to rs. I have nice dreams of where this Blog/Fansite is going, and a good vision to back up these wild dreams!

Believe it or not, this runescape blog has grown quite a bit in the past few weeks. So far - and not long ago, the record for most unique visitors in one day increased at 443 visits in 24 hours! (shown below) -  that's a 2'009% increase over the usual numbers!!! The traffic has since slowly bounced back to 40-50 unique visitors a day, but that is still more than the usual 10 uniques a day I was getting =D

This has had the effect of motivating me to push the site even more. And since I'm working my butt off in two different full-time jobs - doing more than 80 hours a week, I've decided to open up staff positions for those interested to help this fansite grow. It's pretty much on a voluntary basis, with me paying out your rs membership for you. I will send you a pin code each month, perhaps with other prizes too.

Guide Writers; I would need around 2 or 3 guide writers. For now, you can write guides of about just anything, but later on we will specialize on everything f2p-related, as well as everything pking/wilderness/pure related. Naturally, I would like guide/article writers to be good in writing, but you don't have to be perfect either. Infact, even if you're not a good writer but want to become one, I will take you on with pleasure, help you, give some tips, feedback, etc...Everything has a start to it. And by the way, my school teachers were always impressed with my extraordinary writing, despite that I failed their classes =D. I will pay your runescape membership every month if you write me 5+/- guides (500 words +) every 4 weeks. Feel free to write the guides with your own writing style and opinions.

Skill Stat Signature Makers; Many fansites have branded their own skill stat signatures. With these gadgets, you can see your character's updated stats in a banner. It is useful for forum users and acts as a great promotional tool for fansites. I don't know how to make these yet, but If you do then feel free to contact me.

Other Help Needed; If you think that you can help in any one way or another in exchange for a monthly runescape membership, then feel free to drop me a line with your ideas. I'm interested in working with pixel artists, video makers, associations with clans, rs bloggers, other fansites and more!

Don't be shy to ask any questions you might have considering rs guide writing or anything else. If you apply in the comment box, don't forget to mention your e-mail adress. If you don't want the comment to be published for everyone else to see, then say ''Do not publish'' in your comment, and only I will see it... Cheers!
