Entry requirements
The battle
Once inside, the group leader talks to the White Dragon Egg NPC to start the run. You then have 30 minutes.

After the group defeats Alastor, each player collects their reward from the Ghostly Guardian:

Champion Level 1 or higher, in a group of 4 to 8 players.
How many Frozen Keys do I need?
Three per player, in your inventory when you enter.

No. The wiki says there is no cooldown to start new runs.
What does the Angry Northwind Dragon seal do?
It drops from the Metin stones at the beginning and helps deal great damage.

Entry requirements
- At least 4 players with Champion Level 1 or higher, up to a maximum of 8.
- Each player needs 3 Frozen Keys in their inventory.
- A prerequisite quest must be completed. The wiki lists it as ??? because the quest page does not exist.
- No pending rewards from previous runs.
- To enter Hard mode, the group must have cleared Easy mode once.
- The dungeon was released with version 21.2 and the Northwind chain is split into 3 maps. Northwind Deeps is the third, reached from Northwind Descent by talking to the Ghostly Guardian.
The battle
Once inside, the group leader talks to the White Dragon Egg NPC to start the run. You then have 30 minutes.
- After the first minute, icicles hit every 10 seconds and deal high damage. There are 12 waves in total.
- Keep distance from the entry to make room for each other.
- Monsters only spawn if a player stands in the middle.
- Every 15 seconds Alastor summons icicles around him.
- At 27:30, 25:00 and 22:30 remaining, Alastor releases a large group of monsters.
- There is an optional side room where you can defeat Alastor. To reach it, destroy the Northwind Crystal and a portal appears.
- Destroying the Metin stones at the beginning stops the permanent falling icicles. The Metin stones can drop the Angry Northwind Dragon seal, which helps deal great damage.
