Glacier Zone

The **Glacier Zone** is an outer zone in the southwest of Patchlantis. It consists of multiple ice-covered islands, joined together by the Undersea.

Raquoon, Snodo, Stellan, Poven, Wolphin, Deardrop, Skiial, and Puffelant are native to the Glacier Zone. Borka is also considered Glacier, but it is exclusive to the Sea Floor, a Sub-Zone of the Coast Zone. Stellan only naturally spawns in this zone, while Deardrop and Puffelant cannot be found anywhere else. There are seventeen Glacier Zone patch pins.

The Glacier Zone is only connected to the Coast Zone, though it also contains a shortcut to the Swamp Zone. The Glacier Zone must be passed through to reach the Coral Ruins.

## Overview

The Glacier Zone is themed after an arctic archipelago covered in snow and ice.

### Base zone

The base zone is a sparse tundra with pale grass and occasional alpine trees.

Pools of Freezing slush or slippery ice and streams of Soaking meltwater rapids are common. Dangerous Freezing snow or icicles are a dangerous hazard in corridors. Despite this, the zone is also inhabited by a variety of monsters and critters.

The Permaforge and Brickloo dungeons are found in the base Glacier Zone.

### Ice Sheet Island

The Ice Sheet Island (marked with blue outline on the map) is found in the east of the Glacier Zone, and is entirely disconnected from all other landmasses. Most of this island is covered with a slippery ice sheet that makes traversal dangerous, though sometimes the ice splits to reveal deep Soaking water below. Freezing icicles may sometimes crash down from overhead.

The microboss Frogspawn may be found in this sub-zone.

### The Snowfield

The Snowfield (marked with pink outline on the map) is a sub-zone in the centre of the Glacier Zone. A closed door requires the player to fully traverse this sub-zone to access the west of the Glacier Zone. This area is subject to an endless blizzard of Freezing snow that can only be kept away by the glowing warmth of Raddiators. Falling icicles and piles of deep snow are another common hazard in this sub-zone.

Some battle rooms in this sub-zone will interperce waves of monsters with gusts of snowfall. These involve waves of Freezing snow crystals falling from overhead.

### Notable locations

* The Permaforge is found in the west of the Glacier Zone, on the larger island. It is guarded by a Jumbo Deardrop. Defeating the boss rewards the player with the Seal Idol.
	+ After clearing the dungeon, the player will get access to the Glacial Speedway to the Swamp Zone.
* The Brickloo is a mini-dungeon found in the north of the Glacier Zone. It is the nest of a Jumbo Poven. Defeating the boss rewards the player with the Mythic Chisel.
	+ Clearing the Brickloo opens up a shortcut cavern to the Coast Zone.

## Lore

* The Glacier Zone lorestone details its origin:

> *For reprieve from the scorching winds, we sailed great chunks of the Sibwegian Glacier from halfway around this globe.*

This indicates that the ancient civilization used the resources of the Glacier Zone for cooling.
