Eternal Cold Guide - raoldev/RaolCraft-Omega GitHub Wiki

The Eternal Cold (also known as the Ice Dimension) is the fifth dimension that can be explored in RaolCraft Omega, and also the coolest one. Literally, you freeze there!

Ice dimension Ignore the minimap plz

This dimension can be seen as a polar opposite to the Nether. The gem it's connected to is the Turquoise.

To access it, you will have to explore the Soil Soul first. The portal is made using Frostbricks and can be opened using a Scepter of the Eternal Cold.

This dimension is made of Icestone, but you can also find Ice Cobblestone, Glacial Metal Ore and a new liquid, the Freezing Water.

Icestone is the main block in this dimension. When broken, it gives Ice Cobblestone (unless it is broken with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe). The Freezing Water is a liquid which slowns mobs down. The Glacial Metal ore will be explained later.

You can also find some Frozen Fossils scattered in the ice, which can be smelt in an Infernal Furnace to get some random loot!

These mobs can be found in this dimension:

  • Yeti Zombie, a neutral melee monster that drops leather
  • Ice Ectoplasm, an hostile melee monster which drops a Frozen Star
  • Ice Slime, a mob that freezes con contact
  • Snow Chicken, a passive mob that is similar to a Chicken but can also sometimes lays snowballs
  • Enderman

Yeti Zombies can also be found in a festive variant. Winter Yeti Zombies (this is their name when they have a Santa's hat) also drop a Mysterious Box, which can be opened to get a random gift. You can get a special artifact by opening gifts, but you will only need it later, after defeating the Dark Emperor.

Ice Ectoplasms drop a Frozen Star about 30% of the times. Keep in mind that Ectoplasms and Ghosts are not considered Spirits so they drop no Spectral Dust and aren't attacked by the Crystal Golem.

In this dimension you can also find a structure, the Ice Fortress.

Anyway, now that you know what can be found in the dimension, let's see what you can actually do with its materials.

Glacial Metal Ore is so cold that it needs to be smelt twice.* After smelting and smelting them again you will get some Glacial Metal Ingots. You can use them to create a Freezing Machine.

The Freezing Machine can be used to freeze things, however it consumes Ice Essence to work. Where can you get it?

Do you remember the Essence Pot? Well, go to that old dusty room where you placed it, fill it with Sprout Amber as usual then right-click it with a Glacial Metal Ingot in hand. You will get 2 Ice Essences.

Anyway, the Freezing Machine can be used to do a few things (including turning the Glacial Metal Ore which was already smelt into a fresh new Glacial Metal Ore ready to be smelt twice. I don't know why would you do this actually), but its most important uses probably are turning Ice into Packed Ice and a Basic Wand into an Frozen Wand. It also makes Heatfish edible with no bad side effects.

It can also be used to freeze Water Essence. Doing so will still consume an Ice Essence, but you will get 2 of them as result (so basically you can turn Water Essences into Ice Essences if you have at least one Ice Essence).

The Frozen Wand can be used to place some Ice (tell me if you find anything useful with this feature XD) or to summon the boss of this dimension, the Ice Ghost.

To summon him, you'll have to craft a Ice Altar using some Frozen Stars, place it on 2 Ice Bricks (not the Frostbricks, but the Ice Bricks) and right-click it with a Frozen Wand in hand.

The Ice Ghost is a fast and powerful melee monster that can summon some Ice Slimes to freeze you. This combination of powers probably is a bit too devastating, so it will be nerfed in the future.

When killed he drops a Mana Crystal and a Fragment of Totem of Ice Affinity. And a lot of Snowballs.

The Mana Crystal is the trophy item needed to go to the next dimension, but it also has a special use: you can store it in a Mana Generator to speed it up a lot. The Mana Crystal won't be consumed and you will be able to get it back whenever you want, it's just stored in a slot. This means that fighting this boss again is useful if you want more Mana faster.

The Fragments of Totem of Ice Affinity can be combined in the usual way to create a Totem of Ice Affinity. This Totem makes you swim faster in Freezing Water and also prevents you from being frozen.

Yes, because you can now freeze enemies (just like Ice Slimes can freeze you)! Just craft a few Freezing Snowballs and throw them to the targets and they will get frozen for a few seconds, or until someone breaks the ice they are trapped into (doing so will damage the frozen mobs a bit).

Not all the mobs can be frozen (mobs from the Eternal Cold and bosses are immune for example). The Freezing Snowballs actually have a positive effect on Snowmen.

The Freeze effect can't be removed by Milk.

*Actually, there's a way to smelt Glacial Metal Ore directly into Glacial Metal Ingots. Just read the first chapters of this progression guide again if you can't remember :)
