Anya, the young alchemist and daughter to one of our slain Elders, has been missing for some time. She is a strong, crafty woman with a spirit like no other. One night, just before your arrival, I overheard her and Nihlathak arguing about her father's death. The next morning she was gone. Nihlathak has his own talk as to where she went and why. Don't believe him! I fear he is at the root of her disappearance. Please, if you can, search for Anya and bring her back to us. She'll know what to do about Nihlathak. - Malah Nihlathak offers the following after talking to Malah before entering Arreat Plateau (he disappears from Harrogath otherwise, and disappears after entering Crystalline Passage if Malah is not spoken to): Anya! Who have you been talking to? Likely it was that meddling Malah. Well, I'll tell you what really happened. Anya came to me for guidance, after receiving a vision that her mother and younger brother were trapped in the lands beyond the Ice Caves. She had decided to go rescue them. I told her that her quest was a foolish one and that she would be safer staying within the city walls. However, she is a willful girl and would not listen to me. The next morning, she was gone. No one is more distraught than I over losing her. However, if you feel the need to be Malah's errand child, I won't try to stop you. - Nihlathak Nihlathak's disappearance means there is no one to gamble items in Harrogath until Anya is rescued, although players can obviously return to earlier Acts to gamble items there. Navigation Entry to Arreat Plateau is at opposite end to waypoint in Frigid Highlands. Eyeback the Unleashed is an Extra Strong Extra Fast Super Unique Death Mauler guarding exit from Frigid Highlands to Arreat Plateau. It is accompanied by two minions in Normal, three in Nightmare and four in Hell. All are Immune to Lightning (100%) in Hell. Like Frigid Highlands, Arreat Plateau extends above entrance to left or right. Although there is a waypoint to be found, it is normally quicker to travel up one side of plateau, crossing three barricades along way to entrance to Crystalline Passage at other end. Thresh Socket is a Cursed Super Unique Blood Bringer guarding entrance to Crystalline Passage. It has no minions, although Demon Gremlins may spawn in vicinity. It is always Immune to Cold (120%) in Hell. Crystalline Passage waypoint is normally to right of entrance from Arreat Plateau, and entrance to Frozen River is normally to right of waypoint, guarded by Champion pack. Be sure to have at least two Scrolls of Town Portal before travelling to Frozen River. Objective Once down in Frozen River, Anya can normally be found most quickly by following right wall from entrance. Frozenstein is a Cold Enchanted Mana Burn Super Unique Frozen Abyss guarding Frozen Anya. It has six minions in Normal, seven in Nightmare and eight in Hell. It is always Immune to Cold (150% even in Normal), while its minions are always Immune to Cold (210%) in Hell. Use bridges across water to reduce number of attackers, or attack from across water. Hero. Nihlathak did this to me! If you've come to help me, my only hope lies with Malah. Please...Tell her you've found me... - Anya Cast Town Portal to return to Harrogath and talk to Malah. So! That snake Nihlathak was behind Anya's disappearance...and he trapped her with a freezing curse. Here. Take this potion to Anya and give it to her. That should release her. - Malah If there is insufficient inventory space for Malah's Potion, it will drop on floor. Return with it to Frozen Anya and click on her to thaw. Once she has cast portal to return to Harrogath, cast your own to do likewise. Reward Thank you so much for bringing Anya back to us. I have devised this spell to increase your resistances as a token of my thanks. I know it isn't much, but I hope you find it helpful. Please go talk to Anya. She has urgent news concerning Nihlathak. - Malah Malah gives Scroll of Resistance: if there is insufficient inventory space, it will drop on floor. Clicking on Scroll will apply +10% All Resistances. These passive bonuses apply until player dies: upon resurrection bonuses do not apply until player leaves game and either rejoins or enters new game, at which point they apply again. Character screen still applies bonuses in same game as death and resurrection. Thank you, hero, for rescuing me. To show my personal gratitude, I give you this. I had it custom-made for you by Larzuk. - Anya Anya gives one class-specific rare item: if there is insufficient inventory space, it will drop on floor.
