Version 7.0 opens Snezhnaya and fills it with new World Quests, from long story chains that unlock hidden areas to short one-off missions tucked into the map. Some of these quests feed directly into the region’s Archon storyline, while others exist mainly to hand out Primogems, upgrade materials, and new Meeting Points.
Quick answer: Three major World Quest chains — In the Dwelling of Life, Hesperides of Love and Hate, and On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb — each grant one part of the Eye of Graeae. Finish all three, then Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard starts automatically once you hold the completed Eye.
The three chains that build the Eye of Graeae
Three story chains form the backbone of Snezhnaya’s exploration. Each one rewards a fragment of the Eye of Graeae, and you need all three fragments before the final chain will begin. Here is how each one starts.
| Chain | How it starts |
|---|---|
| In the Dwelling of Life | Head to Flamefeather Valley and approach the Statue of The Seven. The chain triggers on its own. |
| Hesperides of Love and Hate | Collect the Invitation to the “Ritual” from the train station in Svetloledovka, then visit the Statue of The Seven south of Svetloledovka to begin Through the Gates of Ivory. |
| On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb | Track the Statue of The Seven during Pilgrimage to the Sacred Gorge to start it automatically. |
In the Dwelling of Life sub-quests
- A Sprout Without a Gardener
- Transplanted From “Yesterday” to “Tomorrow”
- Down in the Dumps
- Back on One’s Feet
- Forbidding Doors of Melancholy
- To Rest in a Forgotten Field
- Chorus of Solace
Hesperides of Love and Hate sub-quests
Pick up the Invitation to the “Ritual” at the Svetloledovka train station first, since the opening quest will not appear without it.
- Through the Gates of Ivory
- Procrustes’ Iron Bed (with sub-quests House of the Soulless and The Sun’s Gilded Apple)
- Bell Ringing at Dusk
On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb sub-quests
- To Gaze Upon the Dreaming Pale Crown
- The Stone Beasts, Like Ghouls Seated
Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard
This chain is the payoff for the three regional stories above. You first obtain the Eye of Graeae during the Archon Quest, but the item is only complete once you have gathered its three parts by finishing In the Dwelling of Life, Hesperides of Love and Hate, and On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb.
Once all three chains are done and the Eye of Graeae is whole, Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard begins on its own. If it has not triggered, an unfinished part of one of the three chains is almost always the reason.
Meeting Point unlock quests
Three World Quests open the region’s Meeting Points, and each becomes available only after you finish the Archon Quest “Wraith’s Nocturne.” Complete that chapter first, or these will not be there to start.
| Quest | Unlocks | How to start |
|---|---|---|
| Hunter on the Snowfields | Huntsman’s Cabin Meeting Point | Go to the marked location and speak with Alyosha. |
| One Yet to Take a Bow | Korolevskiy Theater Meeting Point | Head to the theater to trigger it. |
| Like a Land Where the Tide’s Song Surrounds | Tidesong Cavern Meeting Point | Approach the target location to start it automatically. |
Shorter and hidden World Quests
Beyond the main chains, Snezhnaya holds several compact quests, some of which are easy to miss. Mean Streets of the Despicable is a short two-part chain that you kick off by walking up to the group of Faes on the bridge near the teleport waypoint north of Central Station.
- Burn the Storehouses and Stables
- Disputes Without Honor and Humanity
The rest are single quests scattered across the region. Each has a specific trigger, and a few only appear after “Wraith’s Nocturne” is complete.
| Quest | How to start |
|---|---|
| For an Ice Mirror Fragment | Teleport to the Statue of The Seven west of the House of Hesperides, then enter the small ice cave to the south. |
| Just Like a Snowball | Go to the gate near the bridge northeast of the Snezhnograd Veche State Hall and approach the fae NPCs. |
| A Special Selection | After completing “Wraith’s Nocturne,” visit Druzhna HQ in Snezhnograd and approach the group of NPCs. |
Work through the three Eye of Graeae chains in whatever order you like, since each one is self-contained until the final step. Once all three are cleared and the Meeting Point quests are unlocked after “Wraith’s Nocturne,” the region’s remaining short quests are easy to sweep up during regular exploration. More World Quests may surface as players dig deeper into Snezhnaya.
