Kolmstein is a cold and desolate landscape in Dungeons of Hinterberg, teeming with monsters and slayers alike. You'll face some of your greatest challenges here, both with puzzles and enemies, but it's nothing you can't handle with the right preparations. In your pursuit of completing every dungeon, you'll inevitably come across these frosty locations.
The Snowy Summit is one such dungeon, and we'll help walk you through the puzzles contained within. With a bit of guidance, you can make your way through the dungeon and be well on your way to completing every dungeon Hinterberg has to offer a slayer.
How To Reach The Snowy Summit
If you want to reach the Snowy Summit dungeon, you'll need to select Kolmstein as the region for the day. From there, you'll want to head down the slopes and take the chair lifts.
Once you're clear of the chair lifts, you can make a left and take the winding path up the mountain and cross the goo bridge to enter a dark tunnel.
Several points in the tunnel will be occupied by monsters, so clear them out as you descend into the depths of the cavern. Once you reach the bottom, you'll need to use your ray beam on the icicles lining the ceiling to create a makeshift bridge.
Once the icicles have fallen, climb the little ladder and hop across to reach the dungeon and unlock a fast travel point.
Snowy Summit Puzzles
When you first enter the dungeon, you'll see a large pink mountain similar to the other dungeons in Kolmstein. This one will combine several types of puzzles to keep you on your toes.
Below are the different puzzles broken down into their primary features in the order they appear as you progress through the dungeon.
Snowflake Puzzles
The first puzzle you'll come across involves whimsical snowflakes that harbor a yellow crystal in the center. Use your ray beam to hit the snowflakes from afar and alter the environment.
Use your hoverboard to get around faster, as this dungeon is quite large.
At the beginning of the dungeon, you'll use this to raise and lower icy platforms so Luisa can make her way across the slopes. Continue through the mountain until you come across several lasers firing on floating cliffs. A snowflake will be hidden in the hollowed out cliff in the center.
Fire at the snowflake to lower the icy gate at the opposite end of the rail. Use your hoverboard to pass through it, then strike the snowflake from the opposite side twice. This will extend a bridge for you to cross. Interact with the snowflake again two times to activate the rail so you can progress to the next area.
The next portion involves climbing the mountain to reach the next puzzle , but it's a straightforward walk.
When you come to the floating snowflakes intermingled with rails, you'll have to get creative. Rather than hop onto the activated rail, strike the snowflake to light up the rail to the left.
Take it and interact with the snowflake again after reaching the platform to light up the next hoverboard rail.
Once you're on the furthermost platform, strike the snowflake that was previously hidden, then walk around the corner to hit the main snowflake so you can get back to the beginning.
Interact with the snowflake one more time to complete the puzzle and ride both rails on the right to the next area.
Ice Block Puzzles
The next set of puzzles involves moving ice blocks into position. The first puzzle has you push an ice block up against the right edge, then push it in front of the laser so you can cross into the next area.
The second ice block puzzle is a bit more tricky. Below are the best steps to complete the puzzle, as there are rocks that block your path:
The directions are given as if you are facing the climbing wall .
- Push the ice block forward until it hits a rock, then to the left so it hits the edge.
- Push the ice block forward so it hits the wall, then to the right so it hits the edge.
- Push the ice block back until it hits a rock, then to the left.
- Move the block back into the rocks, then to the right. Repeat.
- Push the block forward and climb on it to scale the wall.
Once you get into the next area, you'll need to use your ray beam to slice through icicles on the ceiling so you can hop across them.
The final ice block puzzle will have you moving two blocks this time: one with a laser on top and a standard ice block. The first step is to cut through the icicle so that it plummets into the floor.
Then, move the laser block to the right, then back so it hits the icicle. Push it to the right again, then forward, then right.
Move the block back until it hits a pink rock towards the center, then shift it back into the icicle. Send the block sliding into the climbing wall, then push it all the way to the left so that it's up against the laser.
Follow the same movement pattern with the regular block to get it in position against the climbing wall. This way, you can scale the wall without getting struck by a laser.
Laser Puzzles
The final set of puzzles will have you adjusting lasers to reach the exit portal. First off, pick up the golden gem from the active laser and move it to the inactive one to light up the rail. Ride it to the next area where you'll face a similar dilemma.
In this area, remove the first golden gem and take the rail to the next area. Then, pick up the second golden gem and take it up top to the inactive laser.
Place the gem inside to extend a bridge so you can fetch the first gem and place it in the second laser on the now-connected platform.
This activates the big rail in the middle of the cavern.
Take the rail to the top, where many lasers fire off in a pattern. Keep an eye out and quickly run between the lasers and avoid being hit. The angles of the lasers will get tighter as you race up the mountain, so be prepared to take a few hits.
Once you're past the lasers, all that's left is to climb the side of the mountain until you reach the access portal. After you get there, collect your stamp and exit the dungeon to return to Hinterberg and continue to enjoy your slay in town.
Before you leave, make sure to grab the treasure chest near the exit , accessible via hoverboard rail, to get a powerful new sword enchantment!
Hannah can add it when you get back to Hinterberg.
