What Happened to Terror Mountain?

by mmmstrawberry

What happened to Terror Mountain, the winter wonderland that hosts, in my opinion, some of the best games in all of Neopia? Ever since the arrival of Faerieland, Tyrannia and now The Lost Desert, it seems as though this world has been forgotten. But I am here in hope that this guide may show Neopians how fun Terror Mountain really is.

Snow Throw: This game is pretty easy, and although it's not a very good Neopoints maker, it's fun. In the game, you control 3 Grundos that you can move by using your mouse. In the first round, there is one Snow Beast you have to beat by throwing snowballs. In the second, you fight two Snow Beasts, and so on.

Ski Lodge: Do you like mysteries? Then the Ski Lodge is for you. The NeoPets Team has taken a vacation at the Ski Lodge at the top of Terror Mountain, but one of them has a secret life as a. . . murderer! One by one the NeoPets team gets killed off, until the murderer is caught. Even though this game is over, it is still fun to go over the clues--especially if you missed the game the first time around.

Garage Sale: This is one of my favourite parts of Terror Mountain. Mika and Carassa, longtime Neopians, are cleaning out their igloo from all the stuff they have collected over the years, and letting it go for super cheap prices! Although MOST of the items are super cheap, watch out for Pet Pets. Mika and Carassa sell them for less than the RETAIL price, but although the Igloo says it's cheap, always check the Shop Wizard before you buy a Pet Pet here. Most of the prices on Pet Pets have dropped much farther than the Igloo sells them.

Alpine Challenge: This game is VERY fun, and pretty easy, too. You get as many Neopoints as whatever score you get, so if you are good at this game, then it could be a very good Neopoint maker. In the game, you use the keyboard to help an Usul ski and do tricks. The better the trick, the more points you get. You can make them jump, too!

Cliffhanger: If you've ever played Hang Man, then you should know how to play this game. There are 3 difficulty levels: Easy, Average, and Hard. If you choose hard, then the prize will be better, but the puzzle will be much more difficult compared to the easy level. It displays the letters you can use (you usually don't have all the vowels) as links, and when you click on one as your guess, then it will load the page again, and if there were any of your guessed letter in the sentence, then it will appear in place of a bottom line.

The Snowager: I love the Snowager. Just thought I'd say that before I explain about him :-) He sleeps only few hours during the day, but if you can catch him while he's sleeping, you can choose to enter his cave in hopes of catching a prize. The prizes can be anything from a toy or a Negg, to a battle weapon. But I'll warn you that more often than you will get prizes, the Snowager can harm your pets by making their hit points go down. A simple visit to the Water Faerie's healing springs in Faerieland can fix that, but it may take a few visits to get all your pets back to maximum health.

The Kiosk: The Kiosk is one of my favourite parts of Terror Mountain. If you have 500 NPs to spare, the Kiosk Wocky will give you a scratch card in return for it. Their rarities and worth vary -- Race to Riches is the most popular, followed by Terror Trove, Faeries Fortune, and Peak 'O Plenty. The rarest of them all is the Icetravaganza Scratchcard, which sells for A LOT of Neopoints But the chances of you getting it are extremely rare. Whichever card you get, you can sell it for 50+ Neopoints higher than you bought it if you choose not to play, so I strongly suggest investing some Neopoints and visiting the Kiosk today.

The Snow Faerie's Quests: Out of all the quests out there, so far the Snow Faerie is one of my top favourites. She usually gives you items worth more than what you gave her, and sometimes she'll give you Neopoints, too! I can't guarantee that she will give you a good trade, but in my experiences, it's happened the most. If you can afford to spare a little bit of Neopoints, I suggest you try one of her quests today.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed taking the tour around Terror Mountain with me! Feel free to Neomail me any questions you have about NeoPets, or if you just want to chat. I'll try to reply as soon as possible! Have a great day!
