The Frozen Dungeon or the Ice Dungeon is a dungeon on the top of Blizzard Peak. It is a cave system carved by Iceworms into a glacier.

Overview[]

This cave contains the Artifact of the Pack Artifact of the Pack.

The Iceworm Queen Iceworm Queen is the final boss of this dungeon.

There are two entrances:

  • 31.3, 33.7: waterfall entrance (tool or arrow/bullet needed to break the ice waterfall)
  • 30.9, 37.8: flyer entrance

The entrance to the Iceworm Queen Arena is located here.

Dangers[]

  • Extreme Cold
  • Lots of Iceworm Male Iceworms
  • Dire Bear Dire Bears in the cave will do lots of damage, and can easily overwhelm a player

Tips[]

  • Bring high level mounts to handle the Dire Bear Dire Bears in the first part of the cave, though they have a low aggro range, so can be bypassed fairly easily.
  • Riot Armor Riot Armor or Fur Armor Fur Armor with fabricated weapons
  • Metal Shield Metal or Riot Shield Riot Shields: See below.
  • Fria Curry Fria Curry to help against the extreme cold.
  • Wearing an Otter Otter, with a high melee damage stat, will help a lot against the cold.

Notes[]

  • On unofficial servers that allow cave fliers, the first part of the cave is trivial and scattered with blue and yellow Loot Crates. You can easily maneuver around the Dire Bear Dire Bears and obtain the loot quickly while on the back of a Pteranodon Pteranodon, Argentavis Argentavis, Griffin Griffin, or even the Wyvern Wyvern. However, be warned that Dire Bear Dire Bears up to about level 500 can be found in this cave and can deal tremendous damage if angered.
  • Once past the Dire Bear Dire Bear, you will have to trek the rest of the way on foot or bring an army of very small creatures.
  • The easiest way to run this cave would be by using cryopods and powerful tames such as Megatherium or Thylacoleo.
  • Grappling Hook Grappling Hooks can not be used in this cave. However, Grappling Hook grappling hooks from mods (such as Reusable Grappling Hook) do not suffer this restriction.
  • At first glance one would be expected to think that this cave would be extremely difficult due to Deathworm Deathworm with 20,000 Health Health. However, the Iceworm Male Iceworm Male only have 1700 Health Health. The best method of approach to the second part of the cave is to have someone carry high-quality Metal Shield Metal or Riot Shield Riot shields, aggro the worms with the shield up, then have someone move in with a Pump-Action Shotgun shotgun or other high-dps weapon to deal the damage. Iceworm Male Iceworms can't damage someone holding up a shield against them. Watch the shield durability though!
    • While a primitive Wooden Shield Wooden Shield is not recommended to use due to its low durability, a high quality one with 1000+ durability is invaluably useful here, as it is the only shield that can be repaired via player's inventory. Bring enough resource to repair it if you want to reuse it.
    • Despite their lower heath Iceworm Male Iceworm Males should not be underestimated. They still deal lots of damage and can kill you very quickly.
  • Red loot crates exist deep within the cave, making them harder to get to than the others.
  • The exit to the cave appears to be a one-way path that leads out of a waterfall into a pond down beneath. While not required, it may be preferred to bring a Parachute parachute.
  • It is advisable to set a flier at the mouth of the pond you fall into, as otherwise leaving the massive basin will be tedious and require going all the way to the beach
  • This cave is an excellent place to bring a Thylacoleo thylacoleo if fliers are unavailable, as they are capable of entering through either entrance and their combination of climbing and high melee damage enables them to fight or evade the Dire Bear Dire Bears
  • The entrances have an incredible amount of wind noise
  • Creepily, there are, scattered throughout the tunnels, the frozen bodies of past adventurers. In the chamber of the Iceworm Queen, frozen corpses of many dinosaurs are piled everywhere.
  • There is an invisible barrier preventing flyers go further before the first prone-checkpoint.
  • On singleplayer, it seems that exiting and reentering the cave respawns all the drop. This allows for easy farming of cave drops.
