Chapter 15

🏚️ Snowpeak Ruins

A dilapidated mansion-dungeon in eternal blizzard conditions. The Ball and Chain is the dungeon item. Unusually, the dungeon is also the home of Yeto and Yeta — soup ingredients are collected alongside dungeon progression.

Roadmap for this chapter

This page condenses spoiler-light planning: skim it before a session when you want to remember pacing, dungeon loot, or Dusk quirks without rereading an hour-long retrospective.

Rough session length for story beats sits around 2 hours (first playthrough); doubling that is normal if you're multitasking Poe souls, bugs, heart pieces, or recording footage.

Objectives mirror the designers' gating—you can zig-zag earlier for collectibles once you recognize backtracking costs in Snowpeak Mountain — Dungeon, but quests won't hard-block you with surprise flags as often when you stick to the order below.

Dusk tip: The Ball and Chain has a long swing animation — begin the swing earlier than feels intuitive. The Chilfos enemies (ice lance knights) die in 2 Ball and Chain hits but respawn from ice regeneration — destroy the ice regeneration point first.

Typical pacing: 2 hours (first playthrough)
