[FAQ] • [doc]

Snowverload is a members only seasonal boss released during the second week of the 2014 Christmas event and rereleased starting with the third episode of the 2015 Christmas event quest.

2014

During the 2014 Christmas event it spawned every 3 hours in sync with the Guthixian cache and Tinsel snakes at one of these locations (different for each world):

In the event that it survives for 3 hours, a new one does not spawn and the current one remains.

Once Snowverload is found, players must team up and defeat it using only snowballs, as it is the only weapon that damages it. Snowballs may be gathered in stacks of 100 by right clicking Snowverload and must be equipped to be functional.

The Snowverload has an array of special attacks that may hinder players during the fight, including:

As Snowverload's life points decrease, he shrinks in body mass, gradually becoming smaller in size. Once Snowverload is reduced down to low health, he constantly heals to 5,000 life points. At this stage, Snowverload must be lured to Santa Claus at the Lumbridge Crater to be finished off.

Being near Santa when it dies will grant all participants two festive papers, the ability to deliver another present on the same day as well as a turkey drumstick, roast potatoes and mulled wine. Additionally, it will reset the daily cheer points cap from Tinsel Snake Hunt. Doing the event again on the same day rewards only the food items, but not the festive papers nor another second delivery. Be sure to be near Santa, or else you will not get rewarded, even if you did damage.

If you did not deliver your daily present before fighting Snowverload, you will not be able to get an extra delivery that day.

2015

It is fought by the player during the 2015 Christmas event during the third episode of the quest, Licence to Chill. It can also be fought after the episode with an announcement in chat as to when Snowverload appears at the iceberg north of Daemonheim.
