Background[]
- "Larfleeze has locked himseif behind a security door. The excess energy in the building has shorted out the locking mechanism... Give it a good whack and you should be able to get inside! Whoa, check out that hoard... There's the Power Rings trapped inside those emitters! They're fueling the shield surrounding him. Get in the mix and interrupt the flow of energy!" — Oracle
- "Ah, there you are. Larfleeze is holed up behind a security door, but all the energy inside has shorted out the locking mechanism. Bust open the lock and get inside! There he is... counting those rings like a space pirate monkey counting his gold. Larfleeze is using them to power the protective shield around him. Get in there and interrupt the energy flow generating the shield!" — Calculator
Larfleeze, the ring bearer of the Orange Light of Avarice, has stolen Power Rings and is hoarding them inside a secret research facility.

Walkthrough[]
Part 1[]
Four Orange Lanterns will appear, one in every corner at the pylons where the power rings are trapped. Once an Orange Lantern is defeated, there will be an orb with a timer. This orb must be carried to the correct pylon - indicated by an arrow - before the timer expires. The correct pylon is the one where the Lantern now caught in the orb appeared at. If the timer expires before the orb shuts down the pylon a Snowman construct and another Orange Lantern will appear and you will have to start over.
After all four Orange Lanterns and the four orbs have been dealt with, Larfleeze will join the fight. However he cannot be defeated at this time. After his health has been lowered, he will retreat, reset the pylons and four new Orange Lanterns will appear.
This must be repeated two times - three rounds overall - until Larfleeze joins for the final fight.
- "You're noooo match for MY constructs! " — Larfleeze
- "Use those shielded constructs to disrupt the energy beams from each emitter. That will temporarily disable the shield that's protecting Larfleeze." — Oracle
- "Use the shielded constructs to disrupt the energy beams from each emitter. That will temporarily lower the shield protecting him!" — Calculator
- "This one's mine, and this one... and this one MMMMM! This one says "Little Judy" on it... they must mean MEEEE! Just misspelled my name." — Larfleeze
- "NO! My p-p-p-power rings! What have you done! They're mine! MMMIIINE! You'll pay for those rings... I'll take everything you've got!" — Larfleeze
- "What's MINE is MINE! And what's YOURS is MINE! MINE I TELL YOU!" — Larfleeze
- "Presents. Presents EVERYWHERE! They're mine. And YOU can't have them! Especially this one... it's so SHINY!" — Larfleeze
- "Quit it! No one asked you to interfere! And by 'no one'... I mean MEEEEE!" — Larfleeze
- "The weather outside is frightful. But my presents, are sooooo delightful! So if you've got nowhere to go... JUST GET OUT! This stash is MINE! AND I'M NOT SHARING!" — Larfleeze
- "Is that it? I want more PRESENTS! Oh! Oh lookee! There's more! Keep yer mitts off 'em! THEY'RE ALL MINE!" — Larfleeze
Part 2[]
In the final fight Larfleeze must be and now can be defeated. Every now and then Christmas presents with a timer will drop from the central power battery. One of those presents must be thrown away - indicated by an icon only showing after using the presents. If the timer expires before that present is thrown away the power battery will overload and additional enemies will join the fight.
- "Lookit your NIFTY WEAPONS! Those are MINE TOO!" — Larfleeze
- "My rings! My precious rings! I wasn't hurting anyone... well, not much. Those Lanterns weren't going to use them anymore, anyways!" — Larfleeze
- "Great job! The Green Lantern Corps can take it from here. Getting those rings out of Larfleeze's hands will make the holiday season safer for everyone." — Oracle
- "Nice work. The Sinestro Corps can take it from here. Was he always that ugly or did you focus fire on his face? Yuck." — Calculator

Trivia[]
- Formerly while players of any level could enter the instance, if they were below a certain level they would be given a power boost while within the instance to stand a fighting chance. This power boost was visually represented by a orange-lantern "snowman head" construct around their heads. This was changed when the seasonal instances where raised from level 5 to level 10. While there still may be a stats boost, the visual indicator has disappeared.
