Ice Dungeon on Ragnarok
Ice Dungeon...what the hell were the creators thinking? I'm a very salty because not that I lost any important stuff...but for the fact that this dungeon is almost impossible if you're not on modded. I play on an unoffical server with no mods, I've tried multiple ways to get past this all which don't involve killing the Ice worms.

For example, we tried to use parachutes to get past but we all always land where a deathworm is and we die instantly in one hit. We used shields to block the damage, but if let the shield down for one second the ice worms attack so fast that they once again kill us in one hit.

We have ascedent blueprints for a fabricated sniper rifle but we don't see a situation where we dont end up dying from the worm. is there ANYTHING that you guys have done to get past these OP worms to get the artifact? Am I not seeing something here? Any help is apperciated, thanks!

Yea, happened to me the other day. I went in that cave thinking it wouldn't be that bad, but the deathworms killed me in one hit with all journeyman fur. You should be able to bring mounts in there, otherwise the iceworm queen will be stupidly impossible.

Can't bring raptors in?

You can bring in pretty much everything but nothing goes past the two small holes after the bears. It kinda sucks.Havent managed to get further than that since i play SP

You can barley fit yourself in...theres a small hole that you need to prone to get in to get to the cave. Its absoluetly ludicrous that you can't bring in mounts to fight one of the most deadliest creature on the map.

Bring microraptors. With them on your shoulder they could get in. Plus, they are tough little guys. But, I doubt that will change the outcome much.

OKAY! Anyone who needs to get through the ice dungeon, my tribe found a really easy way to get past the deathworms. We we're on our last straw;we didn't care anymore, we took our best armor(around 1000 armor value), and one fabricated sniper rifle(primitive), and some type of shield(we used a jounrymen wooden).

When you get to the point in the cave where fork off to three different directions: left, straight, and right. Pick left.

We had one guy step in front of the death worm and trigger it and had the shield up so we could tank the hits without taking damage

Then we had one person in the back shooting the death worm to kill it. They don't respawn as long as the cave doesnt reload as far as we know.

Have one person tank with a shield and another use a pump action shotgun. Can kill one of those d worms in 3 shots with a 263 dmg one. Also mind wipe for max crafting and make a recipe with 1 stack of raw meat. It gives insane buffs for what it costs and can heal you through the cold if you decide to use flak or riot. (recipes will heal you even if taking freeze dmg or heat)

Also, don't forget your grapples. That's the best "oh crap" technique in the game.

honestly if ur in single player and u get really annoying just say "screw it" force tame a 150 giga, activate ghost and just tear through it

Bob Jun 27, 2017 @ 7:28pm

I know this post is a bit old but I haven't found any other relevant threads about this. I'm currently in a x2 private server I can solo this cave pretty consistently with this stats at lvl 80(minimum lvl required for opening the loot crates): http://imgur.com/a/EzWO0

.Some torches
.Lots of food
.About 15 health potions
.Regular Fur set(about 500 hypo ins)
.Primitive metal shield
.Regular pick
.Dis Nuts

The strat is mainly to run like hell and knowing where exactly to go and when to rest, and react fast to tank 1 or 2 worm hits with the shield while running away, usually I have to tank only 1 worm but you can get bad luck and have to deal with 2 through the whole run.

Go straight ahead after the frozen guy hanging, there are some small bumps of snow in a tunnel. When you go past them is the first room where the worms are, run straight leaning to the left, up a ramp (at this time if you run striaght and have a little luck the worms should rise behind you, when you hear them rise turn back and tank 2 hits at most and keep running the same way.) By the end of the ramp you should have a small window to stop and regen some stamina, go forward in a S like path, first leaning towards the left and then towards the right.
If you end up in front of a water fall you succesfully went through all the worms and down the waterfall to left is the first free red loot crate. Wont spoil the last room but you'll need a pick or melee weapon to break through a couple of ice walls.

This gives me a total of 5 red loot crates with insane drops, plus some really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ RNG obviously.

Its hard, but the reward on the other side is insane. Just can't do it solo. Our tribe of 5 had no issues (no mods except S+ and normal level ranges etc)

Just have to have one player as 'bait'
