I have never had such awful luck with finding a Morostide minion. I had all the applicable Morostide wears on and I got every year before that, no problem.
I can't be chronically online anymore but this still felt way too hard for no good reason.
Kinda glad Morostide is over so I get that stresser out of the picture. Yeesh.

I agree. I went for hours and hours on end and never found the Valerian. All I found was frustration. So, now I'm glad it's over as it was, at least for the achievement, a waste of time. Luckily, I did find other cute things, but I don't think it should be that rare to find that looking for days still doesn't find you the minion.
