    From the previous screen, hit the ice platform to the far right and rise. Kill the magician and break all blocks to the left.

    Continue right, gather gems, and use the ice platform to defeat the top barbarian. Drop down and defeat the last barbarian.
  4. 4
    Jump on the ladder, destroy blocks to the right, and climb up. Destroy the barbarian and break the left wall twice for food.
  5. 5
    To the right, use the ice dragon flying back and forth to reach gems in the air, then kill it while avoiding pits. Clear ice in one pit to go fishing and find a [_TROUPPLE FISH_].

  14. 14
    Head up, break blocks to the right (letting the wolf suicide), and proceed to the ice platform. Ram the ladder guys.

  16. 16
    Hit the checkpoint and head up.
  17. 17
    Defeat the ladder guys (the Anchor helps) and make your way to the top left ladder. Drop down for gems, then head up.

    Kill the ladder guy, jump to his ladder, and continue to a new screen.

    Go back down and take out the right blocks. Kill the wolf to reach the [_CHEST_].

    Hit the checkpoint. Break it if you have enough ichor for the upcoming fight. Jump the gap and prepare to face Polar Knight.

Boss Battle - Polar Knight

General Information: Polar Knight attacks with a snow shovel. His move pool is limited, but he is very deadly due to the stage design. Polar Knight will dig up the stage, revealing spikes which are instant-kill threats. The Phase Locket is highly recommended to avoid instant death. The spikes are not permanent. The Phase Locket can also help end the battle quickly. Plenty of bouncing hits are needed to defeat him.

Attacks:

  • Snowballs: This is Polar Knight's main attack.
Tips
  • The Phase Locket is crucial for avoiding instant-kill spikes.
  • Use the Phase Locket to end the battle quickly.
  • Get plenty of bouncing hits in to defeat Polar Knight.
  • The Anchor is helpful for defeating ladder guys.
  • Use the War Horn to defeat groups of enemies like the bunny creatures.
  • Fishing in sparkling spots can yield helpful items like the [_TROUPPLE FISH_] and [_GOLD FISH_].
  • Break walls to find hidden food and items.
  • Use enemies like ice dragons and wolves as platforms or to trigger traps.
