| This massive seven-floor tower is located on the second island of Iceclad. It is clear that something terrible once happened to the inhabitants of the tower.
Littered with undead scholars, priests, travelers and shades, one must make their way up floor by floor with a different key necessary for each floor up. On the top floor is Tserrina, inciting terror on the rest of Frozen Shadow. Contrary to rumors, there is no eighth floor. Various keys grant you access to each floor of the tower: Everquest Guide Keys to the Tower of Frozen Shadow (OLD) Crystal Key - 2nd floor - a large undead gnoll Three Toothed Key - 3rd floor - an angry librarian Frosty Key - 4th floor - an enraged shadow beast Small Rusty Key - 5th floor - Cara Omica Bone Finger Key - 6th floor - an enraged relative Large Metal Key - 7th floor - VhalSera Tserrina's Key - Master Key - Tserrina Syl`Tor |

look pretty cool, but not as cool as some of the others. this is by far the best built dungeon in the game, built for 6 to play from start to end, and even the end boss is balanced for 6.

We've camped near the tower, under the 2 trees where Garou is rumoured to spawn, several times for several hours. We have friends that have spent even more time than we have camping him. We have all tried killing the cats and dire wolves in area thinking they are placeholders but STILL he doesn't spawn. He's said to be a pale looking werewolf monster. We gave up for now and moved on to other things. Midnight, on the other hand, spawns frequently and we've killed it twice to help out some people. Bone drops everytime you kill it, too. Good luck to all Garou campers...pack a lunch and bring a book =(

We killed midnight twice in two hours last night. I believe killing snow cougars makes her pop. She was roaming near the gnomes on the dock island with the rest of the cougars. Dropped the bone twice, the one needed for the quest.

Garou found me a few days ago while I was killing wolves for fur near ToFS. Conned blue to me at 50. Rooted me but I was able to get him down to about half hp when he gated away. Havent seen him since then.

Well, i was summoned up to the 5th floor, where theres a wedding going on. We tried everything possible to get the key for the next level. Eventually we were able to convince a GM to summon us up to the next level.
This level has a bunch of guardian things on it, still all green to a 55th level. Our group mowed thru it, and killed a Djinn for the key to the next level.
The seventh level of the tower is where the main mob is. SHe starts out as a bat, and when you kill her she appears as a vampire. She dropped a nice caster staff and an Harnessed soul gem. At the top of a winding staircase is a room which leads to a bunch of mirrors. All but one will teleport you out. The last one is locked. Now, on the previous floor is a incoherent spirit. if you kill him, a coherent spirit will spawn, and it is indifferent. If you speak to him, he will tell you his soul is imprisoned by Tessera (or whatever her name is), so we assumed we needed to give him the harnessed soul gem and free him.
Not, all he did was say Areeeewww! and we lost the gem :(
I'm sure this is broken, as there was NO way to get the key for the last locked mirror on the 7th level. i hope someone else figures this out, i'd love to know whats up there.

Did you try having a chanter charm the guy first before you handed it in?
Maybe that'd help, unless it was already amiable or something.

Rumors have it, that there is no key to the 8th floor. It must be picked open by a rogue, and apon this being done, you will enter the plane of mischief. Im not saying this is true, just what Ive heard.

We went up and Killed the Incoherent Spirit Last night..We also tried giving him the Signet ring off the Priest on floor 5. He also just said Areeeeewww! ack... We wound up just killing him for exp at least because we couldn't figure out his trigger or what to do with him. Maybe someone will find out, I"m curious as well.
I logged before we killed Djinn a second time, we got him first but his respawn time is over 2 hours cause we wound up just sitting around killing those shrouded bats over and over again. Never got any of the Raging Vampires to drop anything either.
Ah well, i'll keep track of this thread, i'm curious as hell.

Colour me blind but while watching my hubby on his first visit to SoV with his Druid, we tried to find a way INTO the tower from outside. He even lev'd himself and literally climbed to the very top of the tower, exploring on the way up, looking for doors in. We gave up after about 15 min. Can anyone enlighten us on how to enter the tower and access the first floor?

It's the glowing blue portal/mirror on the side of the tower that faces the ice gnoll camp.
Click on it.

What is an approprate level range to fight in this tower? From the mobs posted above, it appears to be mid to high 30's.... but, it's hard to tell from only 4 mobs.

Everything on the 5th floor is either green or blue to a level 40 Iksar monk. XP is very bad (not only because of 40) but loot is nice. Also, some mobs dont even attack even though they scowl.
4th floor and 3rd seemed tougher, but we just cruised through them to 5th floor.

To get a key for the level you must kill all the mobs on that level. When you kill the last mob another will spawn in the spot the last mob was killed and it will have the key.

You do not have to kill all the mobs on that level. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th level keys are all off mobs that spawn randomly when any other mob on that level is killed. The key for the 5th level is off a named mob that spawns in it's own spot

Actually, the key for 5 is somewhat a random spawn, to get Cara Omica (keyholder) to spawn you have to kill Amontehepna, and HE is a random spawn, kill Amontehepna and it is a direct trigger to spawn Cara Omica, and yes, she spawns in her own room every time, the one with the caskets.
Cara looks like a halloween costume. hehe

a 6/27 2agi 3svmagic spear drops from the shadowbones.. also a shadowbone earring which was 2int 4agi

I also found a Shadowbone Staff, 9dmg, 36dly, 2 AGI, 3 SV vs. Magic . There is also a rare spawn on the floor down the third hall on the right from the zone where a named gnoll spawns called "Xalcotl" or something like that. He drops a magic, lore, no drop sandal type item (can't remember will post stats later). They are not great, but are decent. Seem to be for a quest of some type since they are no drop. Any info would appreciated.

They key is dropped by a randomly spawning mob named "a giant undead gnoll" or something like that. we cleared the 2nd lvl with just 4 ppl in our group me *51 necro* Angelia *51 enchantress* Blazestar *51 wizzy* and some pickup ranger i forget. The exit on the 2nd lvl (the library) is on the back lefthand side, click on the bookcase and it moves aside revealing another portal down there...we couldn't find the key to the 3rd lvl altho we cleared the whole floor, and nothing was on track. There was one strange thing tho "a skeletal hand" would agro us about 20 feet to the right of the library desk, we couldn't target it, and it wouldn't agro us anywhere else...we couldn't see it either i'm guessing he drops the key for the 3rd lvl...*and the hand agro'd me and my pet just sat there and looked at me so we tried EVERYTHING. aoe's, and even damageshields.
Good luck on getting any further

Our group, consisting of (2) 42lvl warriors and a 45 druid, blew through the first 3 floors without much trouble. The first 3 floors' keyholder are triggered spawns that pop after killing enough mobs on that floor. we killed the 1st lvl boss 3 times, thinking that we each needed a key, and he spawned right in front of us each time in random locations. We had a lot of fun on first 3 lvl's and stopped because of time issues. The boss on the 2nd and 3rd floor dropped descent items too.
Good Luck

the hand is NOT an enemy, its a trap

Does anyone know if that large undead gnoll drops an eye? Could there finally be an end to the long-rumored Gnollslayer quest? The missing component was, I think, a (jewel?) eye from a giant undead gnoll...
"Angry Cook" drops the key to get to the 4th floor, never found the key for the 5th floor though :( Also use levitate on this floor, there are a lot of pits that drop you into basically nothing. If you click the torch in the pit it takes you back to the begining of that floor. They get a bit harder on the 4th floor, though not bad at all unless they gang up. were mostly blue at 48 with a green or two thrown in.

Actually I thought it was named 'a large undead gnoll'. And yes, he does drop the key for the 2nd level (the right passage with mirror). The hand also attacked me yet I couldn't attack him, so I believe he's on the 3rd floor. The way out of the 2nd floor is hidden behind a bookcase in the far left corner of the zone (from where you zone from first floor). You have to double click on the bookcase and it moves aside and the passage leads to mirror outside. No luck on erd floor key, but I'll post if I do find it. So far it looks to be a great dungeon for 30ish ppl, but everything to me has been green except for ghostly teacher, which was LOW blue.

We played with the skeletal hand too..it's a trap, rogues can disarm.
