The Christmas season in Dress to Impress has arrived, and with it comes a magical Winter Town filled with festive quests and challenges to keep you busy throughout the holidays. This guide will walk you through accessing the event and completing all three chapters of the Christmas Lana Lore Quest.
How to Access the Christmas Event in Dress to Impress
When you first spawn in Dress to Impress, head outside in the lobby and look for the blue portal leading to Winter Town (it's on the right side of the outdoor section of the lobby, next to a snowman and some presents). Unlike the Halloween update, there’s no need to finish a round of Dress to Impress before you can gain access to the quests, so enjoy getting started right away!
Winter Town also offers more flexibility when it comes to player count. You can go on the quests with friends, other players in your server, or even go solo by hopping into the single-player cabin of the Winter Town train. Enjoy choosing from one-player, two-player, four-player, or eight-player for your quests.
How to Complete Chapter 1 of the Christmas Lana Quest in Dress to Impress
Chapter 1 kicks off with a festive but chaotic cutscene featuring Holly, who is in a bit of a panic over Santa’s sudden disappearance. Your first mission is to find Santa’s Workshop.
Finding Santa’s Workshop
After the cutscene, head forward toward the signpost displaying three directions: "?," "Santa's Workshop," and "Obby." Walk right, and you’ll spot a cabin with a glowing purple and black portal door. Step inside to enter Santa’s Workshop.
Packing Presents
Once you’re inside, another cutscene will explain the situation: Holly and the elves need your help packing presents. The task is straightforward but requires quick thinking and coordination. You’ll need to pack seven presents in two minutes to complete this part.
Inside the workshop, you’ll see four types of gifts in the middle of the room:
| Gift Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Train | Classic wooden toy trains. |
| Doll | Cute, simple dolls with brown hair. |
| T-Rex | A wooden dinosaur. |
| Tricycle | Miniature wooden tricycles for little riders. |
As empty gift bags travel on the conveyor belt, look for the bubble above each box that shows which presents belong inside. Grab the required gifts from the center of the room and place them into the correct boxes before they reach the end of the belt.
If you’re playing alone, it’s best to prioritize boxes needing only one or two items to keep things manageable. Successfully pack seven boxes, and you’ll be ready for the next challenge.
Candy Forest Obby
Once the presents are packed, Holly will send you on to the Candy Forest Obby, a tricky course filled with peppermint platforms, spinning candy canes, and plenty of opportunities to slip up.
The obby begins with peppermint candies and candy canes serving as stepping stones. Taking it slow and jumping one platform at a time will help you avoid mistakes.
Next, you’ll encounter a section with large gummy candies. These are bouncy, so timing your jumps is key. Carefully edge toward the sides of each gummy to gain control over your trajectory. The dark blue gummy at the end is not bouncy, so jump directly to the red pastilles from there.
The pastilles section features a sharp, spinning candy cane blade that’s overly sensitive to movement. You’ll need to either out-jump it or time your jumps to avoid it altogether.
Once you clear the blade, you’ll face rotating candy canes and a chocolate bridge. Timing is everything here - wait for an opening in the rotation before making your move.
Finally, you’ll come to a wall adorned with peppermint candies sticking out. Use them as handholds to climb to the top. Once you’ve successfully reached the summit, Chapter 1 of the Christmas Lana Quest will conclude, and you’ll be ready to start Chapter 2.
How to Complete Chapter 2 of the Christmas Lana Quest in Dress to Impress
When you enter Chapter 2, you’ll meet Rudy the Reindeer. After a brief cutscene where Rudy greets you and shares the importance of your mission, the reindeer takes flight.
Flying with Rudy
You’ll be riding on Rudy’s back as you soar through the icy skies toward the Ice Cave. The flight sequence is as exhilarating as it is challenging. Along the way, Rudy will encounter a variety of obstacles (snowmen and presents) and helpful boosts (wreaths). Your goal is to make it through the course unscathed while reaching the Ice Cave as quickly as possible.
Reaching the Ice Cave
After successfully navigating the skies, Rudy will land at the entrance of the Ice Cave. This marks the end of the flight sequence, but your journey is far from over. Inside the Ice Cave, you’ll encounter a trio of sleighs. Each sleigh leads to a different location, but only one will take you forward.
Choosing the Correct Sleigh
| Sleigh | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Right Sleigh | Takes you to the next area and progresses the quest. |
| Middle Sleigh | Sends you back to the start of the Ice Cave. |
| Left Sleigh | Leads to a secret icy room (see the section on unlocking the secret room at the end of this guide). |
To continue the Chapter 2 quest, you’ll need to interact with and ride the right sleigh.
Once you’ve ridden the right sleigh, you’ll arrive at a large, imposing door. This door serves as the final checkpoint for Chapter 2. Interact with it to end the chapter.
How to Complete Chapter 3 of the Christmas Lana Quest in Dress to Impress (Boss Fight)
You’ll begin Chapter 3 at the entrance of a sealed door. To open the door, you’ll need to thaw it using a timed mini-game. A temperature gauge will appear on-screen, and you’ll need to click when the pointer lands in the green section to progress. Successfully landing in the green multiple times will heat up the gauge and open the door, allowing you to proceed to the boss fight.
Well, this was unexpected. Kind of. Agamemnon is back and he's taken over Santa Claus to get to you.
Santa Claus Boss Fight
The battle against Santa Claus is divided into two parts:
- Santa Claus
- Santa Claus, Puppet of Darkness
You’ll have three hearts of health for the entire fight, with each hit you take reducing your health by half a heart. This means you can only take six hits before failing and needing to restart the encounter.
Health Management
| Health System | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Hearts | 3 |
| Hits You Can Take | 6 (each hit reduces your health by half a heart) |
| Restart Conditions | If you lose all three hearts, you’ll need to restart the fight from the beginning of part 1. |
I'd advise playing this chapter with other players because they can unthaw you if you die, and you can keep playing instead of being sent back to Winter Town.
How to beat Santa Claus (Boss Fight Part 1)
In the first part of the boss fight, you’ll battle Santa Claus in a snowy arena. Your main task is to pick up presents that land around the arena and throw them at Santa to damage him. Interacting with a present will automatically throw it at Santa, but you’ll need to act fast—presents explode after a few seconds if left untouched.
Santa Claus' Attacks
Santa uses several attacks during the first part of the boss fight, which you’ll need to dodge while continuing to throw presents.
| Attack | Description | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Icicle Drop | Red circles appear on the ground, marking where icicles will fall. | Move out of the circles before the icicles land. |
| Shockwave Jump | Santa jumps and lands, sending out shockwaves in all directions. | Jump over the shockwaves to avoid taking damage. |
| Simultaneous Attacks | Santa combines icicle drops and shockwaves, making the arena more chaotic. | Stay alert and time your movements carefully. |
| Big Icicle | A large icicle moves around the arena, targeting you. | Keep moving to avoid its path. |
| Tree Toss | Santa throws Christmas trees at you. | Dodge these by going left or right while staying focused on your position. |
Santa Claus, Puppet of Darkness (Boss Fight, Part 2)
After defeating Santa Claus, he transforms into Santa Claus, Puppet of Darkness, and the arena changes to reflect his new dark power. The mechanics for this second part of the boss fight are similar to the first, as you’ll still need to throw presents at him to deal damage. However, his attacks become more complex and frequent.
Santa Claus, Puppet of Darkness’ Attacks
| Attack | Description | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Arena-Center Explosion | A massive attack targeting the middle of the arena at the start of the round. | Stand at the left or right edge of the arena to avoid damage. |
| Enhanced Shockwaves | Santa jumps and sends out multiple shockwaves, more than in part 1. | Jump over each shockwave as they spread across the arena. |
| Increased Icicle Drop | A greater number of icicles fall compared to part 1. | Stay mobile and move out of the red circles quickly. |
| Shadowy Reindeer Charge | Shadowy reindeers charge through the center of the arena in a rectangular path. | Move to the left or right edge of the arena to stay safe. |
| Tethering Attack | Santa locks onto you and chases you for several seconds. | Keep moving around the arena, dodging other attacks simultaneously. |
Like in part 1, you’ll need to continuously throw presents while avoiding these attacks. Santa Puppet’s health bar will take longer to deplete, but persistence and precision will win the day.
Winter Town Boss Fight Rewards
Once you’ve defeated Santa Claus, Puppet of Darkness, a cutscene will play, marking the end of the Christmas Chapter 3 quest. As a reward for your efforts, you’ll receive the Frigid Awakening Badge and the following exclusive items:
| Reward | Description |
|---|---|
| Ice Queen Dress | A stunning winter-themed dress. |
| Ice Queen Cape | A lightweight, flowing cape that completes the Ice Queen look. |
| Ice Queen Shoes | Elegant, light blue heels that are fit for the Ice Queen. |
You can access these rewards in the Dressing Booth, located in the Dressing Room during any round of Dress to Impress or in the Freeplay Servers.
How to Unlock the Secret Room in Winter Town (Dress to Impress)
Chapter 2 of the Dress to Impress Christmas event holds an intriguing secret for players who are ready to go off the beaten path. To access the secret room, you’ll need to return to Chapter 2 and complete the first part of the quest, where you ride with Rudy the Reindeer. Complete this part of the quest like you did last time until you arrive at the ice cave featuring three sleighs. To unlock the secret area, you must choose the left sleigh.
What is The Fountain Code for Chapter 2 of the Christmas Lana Quest
The left sleigh will take you to a chilly, secluded room with a fountain in the center. The fountain will prompt you to enter a code. The correct code is:
PALINGENESIA
Once you input the code, you’ll earn a badge confirming you’ve unlocked the secret area. However, you’ll need to leave the game and rejoin to proceed. Re-enter the game and head back to Winter Town. Walk towards the train station, but instead of boarding a train, look across the platform, opposite the Chapter 3 train. There, you’ll notice an area that’s boarded up. With the badge you earned from entering the code, the game will now recognize you as eligible to enter this hidden location.
Upon entering, you’ll find yourself in a temple adorned with majestic pillars and statues. A short but cryptic cutscene will play, showing a reindeer transforming into a girl, who boards a ship as she says farewell to "O," who was standing over her when she transformed. The scene ends without further context, leaving players with a hint of a larger story yet to be told in Dress to Impress.
Other Winter Town Activities in Dress to Impress
The three chapter quests aren't the only thing you can find in Winter Town! DTI really went all-out to create a cozy area for us players this season. Once you load into Winter Town, turn around and head into the cafe behind you. Here, you can order various treats and drinks and sit with them in the cafe or walk around and take cute in-game photos.
Alternatively, find yourself a pile of snow to pick up snowballs! You can throw these - they don't go far, but it's a fun addition to Winter Town.
Lastly, over the bridge, you'll see an ice skating rink with a Christmas tree in the center. If you walk onto the rink, your avatar will start ice skating, no matter what you're wearing. You can use your WASD keys to move and you can perform an axel jump in the air using the space bar.
