Snow biome

“

A freezing tundra, where only creatures entirely adapted to the subzero temperatures exist and thrive.

— Cryonic Material Log

The Snow biome and Ice biome feature five new enemies and are the required biomes to summon and fight Cryogen. After Cryogen has been defeated, Cryonic Ore will generate in the Ice biome in varying amounts.

Three new structures generate in their respective biomes upon world creation.

• The Mechanic's Abandoned Shed, which generates in the Snow biome, containing several useful building accessories.
• The Ice Shrine, which generates in the Ice biome, containing the Tundra Leash mount along with Ice/Christmas-themed loot.
• The Ice Bio-center Lab, which generates in the Ice biome, containing the schematic used in the crafting of the final tier of Draedon's arsenal and the final piece needed to summon Draedon and Exo Mechs.

In Expert Mode, the player is inflicted with the Frozen Lungs debuff instead of the Chilled debuff while submerged in water. This effect can be disabled through the Configuration options.
