A Giant Problem
A Giant Problem is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Tavern Master merchant, part of the Frosty Adventures quest line. Ready to face some real danger? We’ve got frost-covered fiends lurking in the shadows of Frost Mountain. A search party’s heading up to look for that missing girl, and they could use some backup. I need you to help clear the way, make sure they’re not walking into a death trap. There are 2 objectives to complete: Kill 1× Frost Giant Berserker; Kill 1× Frost Giant Shielder. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Tavern Master in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Frosty Escapes before it becomes available from Tavern Master. Completing A Giant Problem rewards 50 Gold, Random Uncommon Weapon, 50 XP. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Tavern Master quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Frosty Adventures chain provides a structured progression path through the Tavern Master quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
