Loot Highlights

Loot in the Ice Cavern Caves ranges from basic survival gear to frost-themed epic weapons and accessories.

Common Loot:

Frostbite Resistance Potions

Kobold Miner's Notes (sellable lore)

Crystal Shards (used in frost weapon crafting)

Rare Loot:

Frozen Fang Dagger (Rogue only): 20% chance to slow enemies on Dark And Darker Gold backstab.

Wand of Eternal Winter (Wizard): Applies chill on fire spells for bonus synergy.

Glacial Crown (Cleric/Bard): +10% cold resistance aura for all party members.

Enchanted Icebreaker Axe (Barbarian): Deals double damage to chilled targets.

Loot chests are often guarded by traps or elite mobs. Don't open chests mid-combat—clear the area first.

Boss Fight Strategy: Wight Frostcaller

When it spawns, the Wight Frostcaller appears in the Crystal Grotto or Frozen Ruins.

Abilities:

Ice Spikes (AoE line): Telegraph is fast; dodge sideways.

Frozen Pulse: 360° burst that chills anyone nearby.

Summon Minions: Calls 2-3 Frost Skeletons every 30 seconds.

Strategy:

Interrupt casts with heavy hits or stuns.

Focus fire when it channels its ultimate (Frozen Tomb).

Cleric must cleanse chill or your party will be stuck moving at crawl speed.

Defeating it guarantees a blue or purple-tier item drop and a high chance for scrolls or portal runes.

Extraction and Escape

The Ice Cavern features two standard extraction methods:

Blue Portal Stone: Randomly spawns in the Extraction Chamber or Ruins. Spawns early, but guarded.

Red Portal Stone (High-Risk): Found past the Collapsed Bridge. Offers descent to the 2nd floor or escape, but always guarded by elite enemies.

Use invisibility potions or stealth to check portal status if possible. In a party, one player should secure extraction while the others scout for loot or delay enemies.

Tips for Success

Bring torches or light spells: Ice fog obscures vision.

Stack cold resistance gear: Reduce chill uptime and frostbite damage.

Avoid fighting multiple Kobolds: Use choke points or vertical terrain.

Prioritize Wizards with fire damage: They're your MVPs in this dungeon.

Always bring a trap disarm kit: Vital near loot rooms and bridges.
