The '''Wintertodt''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|ɪ|n|t|ɚ|t|ɒ|d}} {{Respell|win|ter|tod}}{{CiteVideo|author=Old School RuneScape|title=Wintertodt BTS - Old School RuneScape's New Skilling Boss|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e38SSdRsF5A&t=7s|timestamp=00:06|date=7 September 2016|site=YouTube}}) is a minigame-style boss that is fought using skills rather than combat. It is located in the [[Northern Tundras]] in [[Great Kourend]], bringing a storm of perpetual winter and unfathomable cold. According to the [[look-out]], it is unclear what the Wintertodt actually is, but its ability to alter the weather to extremely low temperatures has earned it notoriety among the people of [[Great Kourend]].

Players must assist the [[Order of the Sacred Flame]], a special group of Arceuus mages, to keep the Wintertodt at bay. As servants of the sacred flame, only they know the spells required to subdue the Wintertodt, so they are heavily relied upon in the defence of Great Kourend. While the [[pyromancer]]'s magical abilities are extraordinary, their skills in other areas are limited, and thus require assistance from skilled adventurers.

In order to help subdue the Wintertodt, players are required to have at least level 50 in [[Firemaking]]. Skill levels in [[Herblore]], [[Fletching]], [[Woodcutting]] and [[Construction]] do not affect the speed of their related activities at all, however having higher levels grant more experience (see [[#Experience rates|experience rates]] section).

Subduing the Wintertodt while earning at least 500 points is a requirement for the [[medium Kourend & Kebos Diary]].

'''The Wintertodt is considered to be a boss, not a minigame, and dying here is unsafe.''' The normal rules for loss of items applies, and Hardcore Ironmen will lose their Hardcore status if they die here.

[[Ironman_Mode|Ironmen]] are eligible for rewards from Wintertodt when defeating it alongside other players.

==History==
[[File:Doors of Dinh.png|thumb|The [[Doors of Dinh]] continue to seal the Winter Beast to this day.]]
While it is not clear what the Wintertodt is, there are multiple theories by various people in the [[Wintertodt Camp]]. [[Ignisia]] believes it to be an evil spirit,{{CiteNPC|npc=Captain Kalt|quote=Ignisia claims it's some kind of evil spirit.}} [[Ish the Navigator]] believes it felt the power of the [[Dark Altar]] and attacked Great Kourend to seek it,{{CiteNPC|npc=Ish the Navigator|quote=[The Wintertodt] felt the [Dark] Altar's power and wanted to consume it for itself.}} while [[Undor]] believes it to be a powerful fire spirit.{{CiteNPC|npc=Undor|quote=They say it's some kind of powerful fire spirit.}}

During the 2nd decade (''1,400 years ago''), the Wintertodt (known back then as the Winter Beast) ravaged the lands north of Kourend, causing them to experience perpetual winter, with livestock and crops freezing. It continued to ravage the [[Northern Tundras]] for another three decades, with Great Kourend's attempts to subdue it unsuccessful.

On 1,778 - 5 (''1,360 years ago''), fearing the Winter Beast might eventually ravage the kingdom, Lord Arceuus I ordered the construction of the [[Arceuus Library]],{{CiteNPC|npc=Official Order of Construction|quote=It is with this in mind that I, Lord Arceuus, Ruler of Great Kourend, hereby order the construction of a library. A library filled with texts, documents and research from all of Great Kourend. The library shall be constructed here, within Arceuus, and enchanted with spells from our greatest mages to protect the contents from evil.}} filled with texts, documents and research from all cities, in order to preserve the history of Great Kourend. Meanwhile, the most important texts were stored in the [[Library Historical Archive]], a repurposed chamber of the [[Tower of Magic]], for further study and additional protection.

On 1,748 - 7 (''1,340 years ago''), a master Lovakengj smith named [[Dinh]] formulated a plan to defeat the Winter Beast. Meeting with the [[Order of the Sacred Flame]], Dinh believed that the roots of the Bruma tree, a magical tree lying within the heart of the [[Northern Tundras]], can emit the heat required to subdue the Winter Beast. Dinh proposed to construct a large prison in which to lure the Beast in, and seal it with a large set of doors made from various materials, including [[lovakite]] and bark from the Bruma tree, with enchantments placed by the Order.{{CiteNPC|npc=Winter's End|quote=Dinh has constructed the doors to the prison from various metal compounds including Lovakite but they must be reinforced with Bruma bark and enchanted by the Order.}}

With Lord Lovakengj II approving of the plans, the prison's construction was completed 800 days later, with known casualties of sixteen Order members and two scouts. On 2,548 - 7, after five decades, the Winter Beast was successfully imprisoned and sealed behind the [[Doors of Dinh]],{{CiteNPC|npc=Winter's End|quote=Rejoice! Our mission has succeeded, the Beast has been contained! The Bruma tree burns bright in the night sky, warming the northern tundra and holding back the Beast.}} with Lord Lovakengj II declaring the day as Winter's End.

Over a thousand years later, the Doors have begun to fail due to being damaged by someone or something, creating a small hole in the doors. Due to this, the Wintertodt has been drawing a small amount of power into the prison.{{CiteNPC|npc=Undor|quote=It's not much, but it's enough for that Wintertodt to be able to draw some power into the prison. Probably why them fiery lot have had so much trouble recently.}} This hole is fixed by Undor during [[The Forsaken Tower]] [[quest]] after being given [[Dinh's hammer]]. Despite this, the doors were already damaged for such a time that the Wintertodt has already gained a lot of power,{{CiteNPC|npc=Undor|quote=The doors were damaged for a while and the Wintertodt will have gained a lot of power.}} and Undor believes that it will be many years before things return to normal.{{CiteNPC|npc=Undor|quote=Even though the doors are fixed now, it will take many years before things get back to normal.}}

It is later revealed in [[A Kingdom Divided]] that the doors were sabotaged by one of the Pyromancers sent to subdue the winter beast, with collusion from [[Xamphur]], Xeric's closest ally. It is not known what interested Xamphur, but during the quest, the [[Tasakaal]] create a [[shielding potion]] for the adventurer to apply to the doors to prevent further damage.

==Getting there==
[[File:Wintertodt Routes.png|thumb|upright|right|1. (Red) The teleport location on the games necklace <br/>
2. (Yellow) The walking route from the {{fairycode|CIS}} fairy ring]]
There are four main methods for travelling to the Wintertodt. These options, ordered from fast to slow, are:
* Players can reach the camp via [[games necklace]], provided they have already taken [[Veos]]'s ship to Great Kourend once.
* Players can choose the [[Northern Tundras]] option in the [[Lovakengj Minecart Network]] which brings them just southeast of Wintertodt.
* Players can use the [[fairy ring]] code {{Fairycode|CIS}} and walk west along the path.
* Players can use the [[Arceuus Home Teleport]] by switching to the [[Arceuus spellbook]] by speaking with [[Tyss]]. This can be done with no requirements and is particularly useful for players who chose to start their Ironman accounts by training at Wintertodt, as there are few fast travel methods at low levels for iron accounts.

=== Bank chest ===
There is a tent with a [[bank chest]] just east of the game necklace teleport location. Players can use this bank to prepare for the fight, or as a close bank to a teleport for tasks such as [[Slayer]] and [[Crop running|farm runs]]. Note that players fighting the Wintertodt will need to '''leave the game''' in order to use the bank.

==Official worlds==

** [[Wintertodt/Warm clothing|Warm or winter-themed clothing]] (optional, highly recommended)
** [[Food]] (optional, highly recommended) and [[Hitpoints#Regeneration|Hitpoints regenerating items]] ([[Hitpoints cape|Hitpoint cape]] or [[Regen bracelet]] (optional and harder to obtain))

==Fighting the Wintertodt==
{{Main|Wintertodt/Strategies}}
The Wintertodt cannot be attacked by conventional [[combat]]. Instead, players must help the [[pyromancer]]s drain its energy by lighting and maintaining the [[brazier]]s around the prison. To do this, chop the roots of the Bruma tree found near the braziers to obtain [[bruma root]]s, optionally fletch them with a [[knife]] into more potent [[bruma kindling]], then add them to the braziers.

Upon entering the [[Doors of Dinh]], players can take supplies provided by the pyromancers from [[crate (wintertodt)|crates]]: [[bronze axe]]s, [[hammer]]s, [[knives]], [[tinderbox]]es, and [[Rejuvenation potion (unf)|unfinished rejuvenation potions]]. Beside the crates (and on the east and west walls of the prison) are Sprouting Roots, which may be picked to obtain [[bruma herb]]s that can be combined with the unfinished potions to make the [[rejuvenation potion]], for use when fighting the Wintertodt (the fight need not be started to do this). Completion of [[Druidic Ritual]] is required to pick the herb and create the potion, though players can have [[Brew'ma]] do so on their behalf.

The warmth meter, visible on the HUD at the top left of the player's game client, acts as the player's health when inside the prison. Dropping to 0% warmth will cause instant [[death]]. The Wintertodt will periodically damage the player's warmth due to its seeping cold (as indicated by the warm damage hitsplat ([[File:Warmth damage hitsplat.png|link=]]) and a filtered chat message) and will also occasionally send snowstorms that damage the warmth of all players in their vicinity. 

Players can restore their warmth by eating any type of food that heals at least 4 Hitpoints (such as a bite of cake), which will restore 35% warmth, or by drinking a dose of [[rejuvenation potion]], which will restore 30% warmth. Players will also naturally regenerate 8% warmth per minute, with an additional 1% regenerated for each piece of [[warm clothing]] worn (up to 4). Various health regeneration methods, such as [[Rapid Heal]], [[regen bracelet]]s, and [[Heal Other]], will aid warm regeneration further as well. A [[ring of life]] will activate if warmth drops below 10%. If the player's warmth is reduced to 0%, they will automatically die.

The Wintertodt can also damage pyromancers and destroy braziers. Being stood next to a brazier as it is broken will also cause damage to the player. The pyromancers do not have a lot of health and will usually be incapacitated after taking three hits from the Wintertodt. If the pyromancer falls to 0 health, they cannot drain the Wintertodt's energy, and once the brazier goes out it cannot be relit until players heal the pyromancer. A damaged brazier can be repaired with a [[hammer]]. The Pyromancers can be healed via the NPC's "Heal" option, requiring a dose of [[rejuvenation potion]]. 

===Damaging the Wintertodt===
[[File:Burning brazier (Wintertodt).png|thumb|right|A burning brazier.]]
The Wintertodt will get weakened by the power of the bruma flames that are channeled by the [[pyromancer]]s. Thus it is important to keep the [[brazier]]s lit and the pyromancers in good condition for the duration of the fight.

The braziers can be lit with a [[tinderbox]] or [[bruma torch]]. The flames have to be fueled by adding [[bruma root]]s or [[bruma kindling]]. Bruma roots can be obtained by chopping the [[bruma roots]], which are located close to each brazier. Players can choose to fletch bruma roots into bruma kindling with a [[knife]].

===Wintertodt's attacks===
[[File:Fighting the Wintertodt.png|thumb|right|Players fighting the Wintertodt.]]
The Wintertodt uses four different types of attacks during the fight:
*Standard attack - All individual players will take periodic, mostly random damage. This damage will usually be taken about every 10–20 seconds, but can rarely strike multiple times in a row relatively rapidly, making it hard to heal without adequate food. The frequency of this attack lessens if at least three braziers are maintained, and if the Wintertodt's remaining energy is lower.
*Brazier attack - Braziers will shatter when clusters of snow fall on them. A player standing next to a brazier when it shatters will take the same amount of damage as if snow had fallen on them. This can be avoided by watching for falling snowflakes above the brazier, which appear shortly before the attack hits.
*Area attack - Snow will occasionally fall in a 3x3 area centred on a targeted player. This can be easily avoided by watching out for the clusters of falling snowflakes and stepping out of the area. If not avoided, it will deal roughly double the damage done from the periodic effect. This attack cannot target a player that is standing next to an obstacle.

The amount of time between these attacks is random.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ed|url=https://twitter.com/JagexEd/status/869286904730181632|date=29 May 2017|archiveurl=https://archive.is/ffloW|archivedate=11 December 2023|quote=The amount of time between each attack is random.}} When the Wintertodt's attempts to do a standard attack, a random number between zero and the maximum health of the Wintertodt is picked, which is then compared against its current health. If the randomly picked number is lower, the attack will proceed.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1318467209744830465|date=20 October 2020|archiveurl=https://archive.ph/3LLnx|archivedate=18 December 2022|quote=It's a linear scale, picking a random number up to the max health of the 'todt, and attacking if the number is lower than its remaining health. So as its remaining health becomes lower, it becomes less likely to attack. There's no threshold to aim for.}} A similar process is used to determine whether the Wintertodt attacks one of the braziers or pyromancers: a random number is rolled up to the Wintertodt's maximum health, and compared against its remaining health. If the randomly rolled number is higher, an attack against a brazier or pyromancer goes through, making those more frequent at lower energy levels.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1734186672542138434|date=11 December 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.is/0z9hx|archivedate=11 December 2023|quote=Linear, I think - it's periodically rolling a random number up to the Wintertodt's max health, and seeing if the Wintertodt's remaining health is more or less than it. As the remaining health decreases, it's therefore more likely to go for the braziers.}} 

Throughout the fight, the player will also take intermittent passive damage as the cold of the Wintertodt begins to seep into their bones. The damage taken is based on the player's total Firemaking level, and is drastically reduced while wearing [[Wintertodt/Warm clothing|warm or winter-themed clothing]] to a minimum of around 10-15% of the player's warmth meter. This damage has a cooldown of 10 ticks (6 seconds) so as to not heavily disrupt fletching bruma roots.

'''A minimum of four''' of these warm items need to be equipped in order to receive the best possible protection. Ironmen can use parts of the [[clue hunter outfit]] and a [[staff of fire]], to add up to four total pieces; until they acquire pieces of the [[Pyromancer outfit]].

The following formulas can be used to determine the amount of damage taken, rounded down.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ed|url=https://twitter.com/JagexEd/status/869168964609429504|date=29 May 2017|archiveurl=https://archive.is/5gG3h|archivedate=30 May 2020|quote=As requested, here's how damage is calculated at the Wintertodt.

===HUD===
[[File:Wintertodt boss HUD.png|thumb|right|The HUD for the boss.]]
Upon entering the Wintertodt area, a HUD will appear in the top left of the screen. There are several icons on the HUD:
*Unlit fire - The brazier has not yet been lit.
*Lit fire - The brazier has been lit.
*Crafting icon - The brazier has been damaged and needs to be repaired.
*Red magic hat - The pyromancer at that brazier has been incapacitated and needs to be healed.

===Reward points===
The rewards for defeating the Wintertodt are based on the player's reward points acquired throughout the fight. Players must collect a minimum of 500 points in order to be rewarded for their efforts.  The reward will consist of rolls at the [[Reward Cart]] (see [[#Rewards|rewards]] section) and [[Firemaking]] experience (100x the player's level in Firemaking). 

There is no current known limit to the number of rewards points that can be earned in a single fight.

Players earn experience and reward points based on the activities they perform during the battle. The following activities provide reward points:

===Experience rates===
Skilling activities that contribute to subduing the Wintertodt grant experience in the corresponding skill according to the following list:
*Lighting a [[brazier]] - 6x player's [[Firemaking]] level
*Cutting a [[bruma root]] - 0.3x player's [[Woodcutting]] level
*Feeding a [[bruma root]] into a [[brazier]] - 3x player's [[Firemaking]] level
*Fletching a [[bruma root]] into a [[bruma kindling]] - 0.6x player's [[Fletching]] level
*Feeding a [[bruma kindling]] into a [[brazier]] - 3.8x player's [[Firemaking]] level
*Fixing a broken [[brazier]] - 4x player's [[Construction]] level, provided they already own a [[player-owned house]]
*Creating a [[rejuvenation potion]] - 0.1x player's [[Herblore]] level
*Subduing the Wintertodt with at least 500 points earned - 100x player's [[Firemaking]] level
The following assumes a player is on a Wintertodt mass world and not doing a solo run, where Firemaking experience rates will be ~20% lower in exchange for higher rewards and Woodcutting/Construction experience.

Players will gain up to 2,000 Construction experience an hour at level 99 Construction from fixing the brazier, scaling proportionally to player's Construction level.

A player will need to subdue the Wintertodt around 670 times to achieve 99 [[Firemaking]] using [[bruma kindling]] (based on a player earning 800 points per kill).  Comparatively, a player must subdue the Wintertodt roughly 540 times to achieve 99 Firemaking using bruma roots.

==Rewards==
{{Main|Reward Cart}}
Succeeding in subduing the Wintertodt with a minimum of five hundred points will reward players with [[Firemaking]] [[experience]] (''Firemaking level * 100''), as well as being able to search the [[reward cart]]. The cart will initially have two rewards inside, and every 500 additional points will guarantee an extra reward. Additional points over each 500 point threshold give a linearly scaled percentage chance for an extra reward. For example, 1200 points would guarantee 3 rewards, plus a 40% chance at getting a fourth reward.

The player's skill levels will determine the rewards the player gets. High levelled players will get rarer rewards, with lower levelled rewards becoming less common the higher the player's level in that skill is. At the highest point, low levelled rewards are removed from the drop table. While players with low levels in those skills can get rare rewards, the drop rate is very low. According to Mod Ash, the herb, ore, fish, uncut gem, seed drops, and logs are based on the player's [[Herblore]], [[Mining]], [[Fishing]], [[Crafting]], [[Farming]], and [[Woodcutting]] levels respectively,{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1051830039346597888|date=15 October 2018|archiveurl=https://archive.is/TuGRi|archivedate=30 May 2020}} at the time of ''opening'' the crates.

==Trivia==
*Upon release, the Wintertodt's table was much more profitable and was changed several days after release. The Wintertodt's drop table was soon nerfed yet again due to player feedback on its still-generous reward table, primarily in [[seeds]] such as [[ranarr]] (the increased supply of which resulted in their price crashing). The new drops became based on the player's levels in the skills the items were related to.
*When you examine the Doors of Dinh, it will say "Hold the door!". This is a reference to S06E05 "The Door" from the HBO show ''{{wp|Game of Thrones}}''.
*The Wintertodt was created by Mods Ed, Maz, West, and Ian.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1291485590572212225|date=6 August 2020|archiveurl=https://archive.is/uilLi|archivedate=10 August 2020|quote=[Hey, who did the work on Wintertodt?] Mod Ed, possibly with assistance from Mod Maz. GFX probably by Mod West. 'Ice and Fire' song by Mod Ian.}}
*The "dying" animation of Pyromancers next to braziers is identical to that of Lunar Spell [[Dream]].
