Crownfall Act 3 maps and rewards

Our previous article - “Top 10 Influential Dota 2 Streamers” is mostly about real-life people. But today’s theme is more in-game. Crownfall Act 3 is definitely worth it!

In Dota 2's Crownfall Act 3: The Frosts of Icewrack, players plunge into the frozen lands of Icewrack, continuing the saga between Vengeful Spirit and her rival Skywrath Mage. This act introduces fresh map challenges, collectible rewards, and immersive side quests that deepen the storyline. Here's an in-depth look at the map features, main quests, and the exclusive rewards awaiting players.

Key Rewards

Act 3 Map: The Frosts of Icewrack

The Frosts of Icewrack map sets players on a journey through icy terrains and mystical landscapes. Players navigate this map by earning specific tokens in regular or Turbo matches. Winning a standard match grants all three tokens needed to progress, while Turbo mode yields two tokens per win and none on a loss. A unique resource called "Frozen Scrap" can also be earned, which players can convert into tokens to ensure continuous progress, making it less punishing even for those with sporadic match outcomes.

Mini-Games and Quests

Act 3 introduces three mini-games on the map, each adding a unique twist:

• Sleet Fighter II: A parody combat game inspired by classic fighters, in which players face off against each other in 2D battles as five selectable heroes.
• Dragon Chess: This puzzle game requires players to align tiles strategically to earn progression items.
• Dance with Dragons: A showdown that combines elements of a side-scroller, where players must defeat a dragon to earn completion rewards.

Significant Rewards in Crownfall Act 3

Crownfall Act 3 delivers a variety of rewards, including valuable cosmetics, consumables, and exclusive items that reward thorough exploration and completion. Here's a rundown of some of the top rewards:

• Winter Wyvern's "Solitude of the Winter Squall" Immortal: The act's standout reward is an Immortal cosmetic for Winter Wyvern, featuring a visual overhaul of her Splinter Blast ability with a frosty, flame-like projectile effect. To unlock this, players must complete the Call of Ugnattu questline, which is accessible through the Icewrack Pathfinder Pack and is available for purchase.

• Crownfall Treasures I and II: These treasure chests contain randomized cosmetics and are awarded upon achieving critical milestones on the map. They may also include set pieces from previous Crownfall Collector's Cache releases, catering to players looking to complete their collections.
• Void Spirit's "Fascinations of Flight" Set: This set, unlockable through quest progression, offers unique visual effects and even an additional style once players reach a certain achievement level.

• MMR Doubledown Tokens and Candy Sacks: Players earn MMR Doubledown tokens and Candy Sacks, which can be used to boost rank gains or obtain seasonal items. These rewards ensure that players receive in-game value beyond purely cosmetic items, keeping progression engaging and rewarding for competitive players​.
• Additional Collectibles and Decorations: New loading screens, emoticons, showcase decorations, and a special Completionist Medal are obtainable by the end of the act. These offer minor aesthetic perks that reflect a player's dedication to the Crownfall saga.

Side Quests and Icewrack Pathfinder Pack

To maximize rewards, players can delve into two paid side quests introduced in Act 3:

• The Lost Ziggurat: A lore-focused quest where players uncover the history of Icewrack's ancient tribes.
• Call of Ugnattu: This storyline leads to the Winter Wyvern Immortal reward, adding a challenging battle sequence that rewards high-level play and persistence.

Purchasing the Icewrack Pathfinder Pack grants access to both quests, allowing players to experience every event layer, including more intricate battles and backstory elements of Icewrack and its denizens​.

The Collector's Cache

Alongside the Crownfall rewards, the 2024 Collector's Cache was also released, containing 16 community-voted cosmetic sets for heroes like Juggernaut, Templar Assassin, and Shadow Shaman. While separate from the Act 3 map, players can use Crownfall Store Coins earned during the event to purchase these Cache treasures, offering another avenue to expand their collections.
