Spoiler-free Hints
Feel free to think about what you're supposed to do
Q: Question, H: Hint, A: Answer

Q. What map do I go?
H. It is the Christmas event after all
A. The Snowy map, The Frozen Wastelands

Q. What do I do on the map?
H. Walk around the map
A. You should find 5 fairly large circles on edges of the map, each with a different color

Q. What's with those colors?
H. There's 5 and their colors are a bit familiar…
H. What else has 5 different colors?
A. The Soulstones dropped from the Lords of the Void

Q. What do I do with that knowledge?
H. Each sigil's color corresponds to a Soulstone's
A. Drop each Soulstone on its respective sigil to activate them
Map: The Frozen Wastelands
Enter The Frozen Wastelands (Map 4, Snow map, Winter map, etc) at any Curse Intensity (or if you want to do this once, just Intensity 34+, see Medium and Hard)

To unlock this map, defeat 4 Bosses from the previous map, 3 from the previous previous map, 2 from the previous previous previous...
The 5 Winter Sigils
There will be 5 fairly large Winter Sigils laid across the Winter map in a pentagonal / star shape

They are colored the same as the 5 Soulstones dropped from each wave of bosses

The order in which you need to activate the sigils is the same as the Soulstone dropped by the bosses, which is always in the same order

Once activated, which you can tell by the sigil lines changing from grey to its color, you can ignore that sigil for the rest of the run, and you can pick up the Soulstone

Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, ignore the Minor Soulstones


Red Sigil
At the start of the game, walk directly to the bottom right side of the map to meet the Red Winter Sigil

Kill a boss from the first wave (400 kills) on the Red sigil, the boss must die inside the sigil, which would drop the red Soulstone and light up the sigil

Example of a sigil being activated, the grey turns into red for the rest of the run
(You can also hear a sound effect but I'm freakin' deaf)

As before, once activated, you can ignore that sigil for the rest of the run, and you can also pick up the Soulstone

Blue Sigil
After activating the Red sigil, move directly to the center left of the map to meet up with the Blue sigil

As before, kill a boss from the second wave (850 kills) on the Blue sigil, the boss must die inside the sigil, which would drop the blue Soulstone and light up that sigil

javascript:ValidateEditSubSectionForm()
Yellow, Green, Purple Sigils
You should be able to tell what's going on now, kill each wave of boss on that sigil, in the order Red -> Blue -> Yellow -> Green -> Purple

Their positions on the map are bottom right -> center left -> top right -> bottom center -> top center, making a star shape!

As long as you have all 5 sigils lit up, you should see the Christmas Portal at the end of the run

If you didn't manage to get one lit up after the wave's boss is killed, well it's never too late to restart your run *shrug*


Christmas Portal
When you've activated all 5 sigils, do not go into any of the 3 center portals

Instead, walk bottom right below the Red sigil and into the green Christmas Portal


Bumble, the Abominable
Once you go through the portal, you will find the Secret Boss, Bumble the Abominable! Defeat him to get the secret skill and achievement

Be careful, he gets tougher the higher the Curse Intensity

Medium and Hard
There are 2 other secret skills and achievements, in which you would need to do the same thing but with Curse Intensities 13+ and 24+ respectively

Doing 24+ first will give you all 3 achievements at once, and doing 13+ first will give you the bottom 2

Any Curses work as long as you hit the threshold
My Build
Lastly, here's my build to beat it, ye olde Disoriented (Crit Mastery OP)

Yes, I play on Very low graphics

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Is the event limited?
No, it's permanent

Q. Can I go to Bumble on Endless?
A. No, the Winter Sigils only spawn if your selected map is The Frozen Wastelands, if you go into that map using a portal (ie from Endless) it will not spawn

Q. Can I go to Endless from Bumble?
A. It's a Holiday Miracle! You get to use both portals after defeating Bumble regardless of whatever time you completed the map or defeated Bumble

You can defeat Bumble in any time and still use them even if the total time exceeds 13/14 minutes

Q. How am I supposed to memorise the color order?
You don't have to!
Just start at Red (bottom right) and go in a pentagrammic shape according to the image below

Q. Is there a Discord? Wiki?
Yes I always hang out on the Game Smithing server[discord.gg] 24/7, feel free to ask any questions
Wiki is https://soulstone-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/Seasonal

okay then i'm jorts 18 May @ 2:11pm 
Quick tip for everyone who runs the House of Lords curses, you only need to have one of the bosses die on the sigil. Once the sigil is glowing in the center, you don't have to worry about getting the remaining bosses to die there.

Thanks for the kind words Sraphania! I've fixed the typos too!

I want to thank you for your excellent guides. I've used all 3 of your event guides, and they are excellently written. Your offering hints as well as spoilers is a really cool idea.

I think you have a small typo above, under the Medium and Hard section, you wrote "Doing 27+ first will give you all 3 achievements at once..." I think you meant "Doing 24+..."
Also under unlocks you still have curse intensities 25/34 curse intensity which I gather has changed. I'm just nitpicking though :)

Great work and thank you.

Seems they lowered the curse requirements, i got all 3 with a 27 curse level, checking the achievements page the new curse requirements are the following:
- 0 curse for easy (same as before)
- 13 curse for medium (down from 25)
- 24 curse for hard (down from 34)

Thanks for this guide. Please specify that you have to pull each wave on a different sigil.
during the first attempt i was kiting bosses around map, untill i realized that i just had to stand on it and wait the wave.

If you struggle with boss pick Necromancer, Rats + Putrefy (3rd weapon) and stack Rot. Easy win.
