The Great Ice Golem Pattern This guide will document the steps necessary to come into the possession of such a pattern by doing a quest for the Unredeemed.
Before starting, you need to be aware that in order to progress from Penumbra into Inferno, it is traditionally necessary to loot A slightly dented molar from the great ice golem and hand it into Ergo. To do so, you must quest for Pocket Boss items, create it, and then defeat:

The Great Ice Golem!While The Great Ice Golem is a Pocket Boss, its pattern can NOT be farmed like a regular Pocket Boss, but must instead be quested for.
For the quest, the following items will be required:
NoDrop Unique Adonis Catacombs | NoDrop Unique Redeemed Temple | Option 1 to obtain Cama's heart, requires six insignias. *Option 2 should not require these. |

A Page From The Yomi GrimoireWhile A Page From The Yomi Grimoire is a random drop off the Adonis catacomb bosses, and is mandatory to the quest.

CatacombsSo, head off to one of the dank, dark Catacombs located in either Redeemed or Unredeemed temples, and hunt down the Page.

Good hunting! Bosses in the cats are roughly level 210, so soloing there is not easy peasy.

Vanya's Beating HeartGetting Vanya's Beating Heart is not trivial to acquire either, and the quest chain is on a somewhat short timer.
However, you have 2 possible options for getting the heart in this quest:
1. Collect the heart BEFORE starting on the quest. Also, in this particular option, you will farm 6 Cama Insignias to spawn a Redeemed mob in the quest. It delays starting the actual quest, but is safer and saves several steps to shorten the quest/item timers.
2. Acquire the heart AFTER starting on the quest. In this option, you don't farm any Insignia but use quest item(s) to spawn Cama. It's a quicker start to the quest, but can be buggier, and requires more steps while a short timer.[/i]
Note: Option 1 is the recommended way to proceed as it more easily avoids known glitches. It is the option used and laid out in this guide. If you want to follow the quest as given in-game, you can locate and jump to the corresponding sections of this guide.
After going Adonis Catacombs to farm some (Nodrop) Yomi Grimoire page (and possibly at Reedeemed temple to obtain Cama's heart) you can go to Unreedeemed temple.
The first Unredeemed to talk to is the Hypnagogic Ixi-Lum Van. He's the temple's librarian, and can be found in the 100% suppression gas western side room, before its very core.
For the ones among us interested in the reason why you had to take a hold of a Yomi page, feel free to have a quick chat with him. If you're more interested in getting this all done and over with, it's okay to just trade him said page. In return, he will hand you a Book of Insignificant Rituals, and ask you to deliver it to the Prophet Urga Van.
The Prophet isn't far, in fact he's just a short walk south from the room entrance. His gigantic proportions also make him very hard to miss. But before handing the Book to him, it might be advisable to check the other side room. In case a Clan raid force is forming there bent on killing Vanya, it might be a bad idea to spawn him for them... So after a mandatory check, or if you're feeling adventurous, feel free to talk to the Prophet, and tell him you have something for him. You will get prompted to hand him the book. He will immediately send you over into the eastern sideroom in 75% suppression gas, where he has spawned the Unredeemed Vanya, who is eager to find out who called for him. So best not make him wait!
Vanya is a very straight forward creature, so he immediately asks about your business. After reporting to him that you would like to know about the Ice Golem, and that you need to "meet" him for Ergo, he finally asks for the Book of Insignificant Rituals. As soon as he received this, he will despawn and hand out a mission to strike down the Redeemed Cama. This mission is on a 10 hour timer.
If you already looted Beating heart, you can skip this paragraph.
If you didn't loot Cama's heart before quest start, go to Redeemed temple. Kill Ecclesiast and loot Sacred Blueprint. Then trade Ardent Gulu Van the Sealed instructions + the Sacred Blueprint you just looted. Then kill Empath, then Cama and loot the heart. Hurry back to your own temple.
Now, the next step is to report our "success" to the Prophet Urga Van. He should be readily waiting for us in the 100% suppression gas room. As we state that we need to see Vanya and that we have a "delivery" for him, he asks to see it first. So, it's time to hand him Beating Heart! After fumbling around a bit with it, and basically turning it into a bloody mess, he spawns Vanya for us and asks us to deliver what remains of Cama's heart.
So off we go into the 75% gas room again. The chat with Vanya is yet again refreshingly short, as soon as we hand over Cama's slightly battered heart, he hands over the Ice Golem pattern and continues to perform some grisly ritual.

Spawning The Great Ice GolemNow that you have the pattern you have to Novictalized it before you can pop it. Once it's completed into Novictalized Notum Crystal with 'The Great Ice Golem' you are ready to spawn it.
- Note: If you don't know about Pocket Bosses still, visit out AOU's Pocket Boss guide for details in some of the tradeskills involved and the process of spawning a PB! While you will not need to combine the A, B, C, D pieces for this quest, you will need to Novictalized the crystal.
It must be spawned at the 210 Incarnator in Penumbra
Penumbra Valley - 2492.3x1069.3
First gather your team, or those who need a Molar. Buff up and prepare for battle! Just be careful with squishy lowbie players, and nanoresist noobs. You may want them to stand on the lower ramps of the Incarnator to protect them as the Golem can do AOE nukes.
The Golem will drop 6 Molars. These molars will need to be handed into Ergo at the entrance to Inferno.
- Note: You have 30 minutes once The Great Ice Golem dies to loot the molars. This gives you time to sell or give away any extra molars you or your teammates do not need.
You are finally ready to head to Penumbra's Ergo at the north end of the icy area to trade the molar. You then should receive the Sanguine Ring corresponding to your profession.
Sanguine Ring
Be sure you own a pair of Lava Protection Boots and Skin Galvanizer before using it on Inferno's portal. Once you step inside you'll burn up without them.
These boots can be quested for the parts to make them. Unfortunately, much of the quest is in Inferno. If it's your first time in Inferno, and you have no higher characters, you may need to ask someone to help you, or you can obtain a pair of them from another player.
You can find the Lava Protection Boots and Skin Galvanizer quest here first or you'll burn in a few seconds of entering Inferno!
