Dragonspine Introduction:

Dragonspine features the Subzero Climate gameplay mechanic. While traversing, you will accumulate Sheer Cold, indicated by a blue meter above your Health bar. This meter fills at approximately 1% per second, with actions like swimming or being in a Snowstorm increasing the rate. At 3/4 full, it flashes, and in 30 seconds, Sheer Cold peaks, dealing 2% of your Health per second. Counter Sheer Cold by finding heat sources like Bonfires, cookpots, Torches, activated Ruin Braziers, or Warming Seelies. Food recipes like Goulash slow accumulation. Teleport Waypoints and Statues of the Seven reset Sheer Cold.

Steps for The Final Experiment: Withering Glory:

1. Head to the location of the intelligence test.
2. Solve the nearby mechanism.
3. Return to the center and activate the device.
4. Investigate the area behind the drain.
5. Return to the campsite and hear Albedo’s conclusions.

Head to the location of the intelligence test:

Travel a significant distance southeast until you reach the ruins indicated by the marker. You can bypass any puzzles encountered on your route.

Solve the nearby mechanism:

After a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), you will face two Warming Seelie puzzles.

South Seelie Puzzle:

Find all the Warming Seelies and guide them to their pedestal. Using Elemental Sight while near the pedestal reveals the direction to find them. One Seelie is located southwest of the pedestals, halfway up a mountain, and another is on a broken pillar east of the pedestals. As you guide them back, you will encounter enemies. Defeat them quickly using Pyro and Electro attacks, then continue guiding the Seelies.

North Seelie Puzzle:

This puzzle differs: when you touch a Warming Seelie, it circles braziers, emitting fire with each pass. Find another Seelie on a broken wall near the puzzle area. Walk into the Seelies to make them circle the braziers; they stop after one full circle, requiring you to walk into them again. Time the Seelies so they are two braziers apart. Activate the device to drain the water once the braziers are lit.

Return to the center and activate the device:

Go back to the center and activate the now-unlocked device to drain the water.

Investigate the area behind the drain:

Descend into the drained area and examine the strange markings on the wall, which will trigger a cutscene.

Return to the campsite and hear Albedo’s conclusions:

After the cutscene, return to Albedo’s lab. Another cutscene will play, concluding this questline for now.
