Fellowship’s latest update comes with a bunch of new cosmetic rewards and interestingly, a new secret mount! Read on to learn how you unlock Brum, The Winter Warmth, a charming (in a ferocious but festive kind of way) bear.
Spoilers abound! If you want to work out how to unlock this Mount yourself then stop reading now. It's a fun puzzle that involves a lot of exploration.
Step 1: Gather Four Warm Wishes
In the Stronghold, you’ll find candy scattered around in the form of gingerbread cookies or candy canes. There are 30 of them that you have to collect in total, and you’ll need to find them all in order to unlock Brum. But there are a few twists. First, before even attempting the challenge, you'll need to gather 4 Warm Wishes by defeating optional mini-bosses found in Dungeons or collecting rewards in the new Reward Tree.
Brum, the Winter Warmth
Once you’ve got your 4 Warm Wishes, it's time to start the real fun: exploring the Stronghold.
Step 2: Collect Thirty Pieces of Candy From The Stronghold
Clicking on a piece of candy will grant you a temporary stacking speed buff, with each candy you pick up providing an additional 5% movement speed. To unlock Brum, you’ll need to collect all 30 candies and at the end, reach the “Winter Warped Treasure”.
The important part here is that your speed buff lasts 20 seconds, refreshing every time you pick up a candy, and if the speed buff runs out you will need to start again!
TIP: After you reach 15-20 stacks of the speed buff, don't bother mounting - just run. Also, Meiko is the easiest Hero to use for this challenge.
Candy Locations
The following map which show you all of the candy locations and the recommended order for collecting them. Below the map, the table provides a bit more detail as to where each piece of candy is, as some of them can be hard to find!
| Number | Location |
| 1 | On a pile of wood. |
| 2 | Next to the fire, on supplies. |
| 3 | Candy cane peeking through the wood planks. |
| 4 | Candy cane close to the right lantern. |
| 5 | Gingerbread man on the driver seat. |
| 6 | Gingerbread man under a pile of snowballs. |
| 7 | Candy cane on the left side of the stairs, close to the tree. |
| 8 | Gingerbread man left of the leaderboard. |
| 9 | Gingerbread man in the forge. |
| 10 | Candy cane above the Jeweller. |
| 11 | Candy cane in Wagon. |
| 12 | Gingerbread man just behind the altar. |
| 13 | Candy cane below the tiger. |
| 14 | Gingerbread man behind the bushes, left of the supply merchant. |
| 15 | Candy cane in a barrel. |
| 16 | Candy cane on the stone table. |
| 17 | Gingerbread man between tree roots. |
| 18 | Candy cane left of immobile hunter NPC. |
| 19 | Gingerbread man on a table, behind a gift. |
| 20 | Gingerbread man on a tree, inside a flower ring. |
| 21 | Candy cane in front of the tower’s door, just behind the left pillar. |
| 22 | Candy cane right of the stairs, behind a small pine. |
| 23 | Gingerbread man on a table, in front of an immobile Hunter NPC. |
| 24 | Candy cane right of an immobile Hunter NPC. |
| 25 | Candy cane planted in a snow mound. |
| 26 | Gingerbread man in front of a white horse. |
| 27 | Gingerbread man on the right side of the portcullis. |
| 28 | Gingerbread man on the left side of the purticullis, under a pile of snowball. |
| 29 | Candy cane in a quiver. |
| 30 | Gingerbread man on a bench, left of an immobile Hunter NPC. |
Once you collect the last candy in time, you will receive a new buff which allows you to complete Step 3 and which will not expire (phew) so you can relax now. Just be careful because if you switch character you can lose the buff.
Step 3: Collecting the Winter Wrapped Treasure
Once you have collected all 30 pieces of candy, you need to finish the puzzle by collecting the Winter Wrapped Treasure atop a tower on the west side of the Stronghold. The location of the tower can be found in the map image below:
The images below show the tower in-game, and the Treasure awaiting for you at the top.

To reach the top of the tower, you will need to complete a little jumping challenge. This jumping challenge starts almost directly north of the 'H' in the 'Heroes' Rest Inn' text on the map. The starting point is shown in the image below.
Jump diagonally from the rampart (on foot) onto the wooden platform. After that, it’s pretty straight forward: Jump to the next platform, and then wrap around the tower using the wood planks coming out of it. On the last plank, jump to the tower. Collect your treasure and you're done!
Happy Holidays and good luck!
