Title pretty much says it all. I made a video tutorial explaining and showing how to solo to obtain an Icy Dragon Sword. It's a little large at 150MB but I wanted to show everything from start to finish to make it as easy as possible.
A few notes:
1) The spawn locations of the enemies in Mineral Springs in particular vary a bit. Some runs are harder than others and require different tactics.
2) In my video I didn't encounter any trolls in the cave but if you do, take them out first. Their disrupting attack on your healing signet can be annoying so wait for them to use their disrupt (they often try to use it vs desperation blow), before using your signet, if possible.
3) Since making the video I have found it much easier and faster to simply alternate Sprint and Charge! through all of Tasca's Demise rather than wait for the bridge patrols as I do in the video. Sometimes the spawns require you to wait, but often you can just race through the whole area.
Comments are most welcome as are donations of candy canes or frigid hearts. =)
I hope this helps a lot of people in the community get their GW Holiday present!
