If you’re planning a frosty trek into the snow-covered peaks of Dragonspine, gear up for an emotional journey filled with hope, courage, and—yes—a warming reward at the summit. Guiding Joel’s father back (or at least discovering what happened to him) is a quest that’ll test your resolve—and your survival skills.
🧭 Quest Kick‑off: Talk to Joel at the Adventurers’ Camp
Start by heading to the Dragonspine Adventurer Camp, nestled just northeast of the frozen mountain. There you’ll find Joel, a worried young traveler whose father never returned as promised. Speak with him to officially begin the chilling world quest, Lost in the Snow

❄️ Step 1: Follow the Snow‑Covered Path
From the camp, follow the main path (or teleport to the Statue of the Seven if you’ve unlocked it). Glide down nearby cliffs to uncover a small campsite hidden in the snow. Expect some Hilichurls—deal with them, and don’t forget to read the first “Neatly‑Written Note.” It reveals that Joel’s father has moved further west
🧱 Step 2: Venture Along the Western Slope
Make your way westward—if available, teleport near Albedo’s camp for a shortcut. Along the way, you might encounter the Frostarm Lawachurl. Take it down (or sneak past), then examine the next note in a snowy campsite. It hints that Joel’s father intended to push toward Dragonspine’s summit
🏔️ Step 3: Head for the Summit
Return to the Statue of the Seven and journey south toward a gusty cave entrance. Inside, break a section of rock wall to reveal a hidden chamber—your third campsite. Read the scribbled note beside a small bowl. It explains that Joel’s father tried to climb down but never made it back up
💡 Fun side note: If you deposit berries in the bowl over five in‑game days, a friendly fox appears—rewarding you with a Crimson Agate chest!
🤝 Step 4: Return & Report
With the grim information in hand, teleport back to the Dragonspine Adventurer Camp and deliver the news to Joel. This wraps up Lost in the Snow, and earns you Adventure XP, Primogems, Hero’s Wit, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore
🌟 Looking Ahead: Reunion on the Horizon
But wait—the story doesn’t end here! A later follow-up quest, Snowy Silhouette: Reunion, offers the chance to finally reunite father and son. After the daily reset following Lost in the Snow, Joel’s father (Joserf) appears at the camp—alive, though suffering amnesia, in a heartfelt reunion supported by Reckless Pallad
🛡️ Pro‑Tips for the Cold
- Bring a Pyro character (like Amber or Bennett) to stay warm and break ice
- Stock up on healing items and Frost‑shield Goulash
- Activate the Statue of the Seven early to unlock fast travel and aid your search
Concluding Thoughts
This quest blends the thrill of exploration with a true emotional payoff—a heartfelt tale of loss, hope, and reunion. Follow Joel’s trail, keep your flame alight, and be ready to witness a touching resolution on the frost‑bitten summit.
