Because of the extremely cold conditions, players cannot run after passing the Ice Gate (although this effect can be countered by using stamina potions) and will have their Hitpoints periodically reduced by 1-2. Other stats are also reduced in the same fashion by one while on the Ice Path. Towards the end of the path, after defeating Kamil, players must use spiked boots on the ice shelf to be able to walk at all; however, they may still slip and fall several times, taking damage.
