The Ice Citadel is characterized by slippery ice floors, which can make movement challenging. Similar to quicksand, the Virtue of Balance gem can negate the slippery effect, allowing you to walk normally. The newly acquired Hammer is vital here. Its primary function is to break ice blocks and other frozen obstacles that impede your path. A charged hammer attack is particularly effective for this. The Hammer's basic attack is a powerful, slow swing, while its focused attack can stun enemies or break specific environmental elements.

Enemies in Lorimar are predominantly ice-based. Consider equipping a fire-elemental spirit to deal increased damage. Watch out for hidden traps under the ice. Gleamdrops might be encased in ice blocks, requiring the Hammer to free them, or hidden in snowdrifts. Practice using the Hammer's focused attack to clear paths and stun tougher enemies. The ability to break ice with a charged hammer is crucial for progression and accessing hidden areas.
