What lies deeper into the Ice Palace?
Ice Palace maps by Iron Knuckle.
Stalfos Knights, that's what.
The telepathic message tile you'll see when they make their first appearance tells you that you'll need another weapon to finish them off. To take them out, hit them with the sword, then destroy them with a Bomb while they lay lifeless on the ground like a pile of bones.
The next room is another conveyor belt amassed with spikes, those blue flying things that electrify themselves and black lizards crawling from one hole in the wall to ther other.
Watch out shortly after you reach the third basement floor. You'll see another spiked yellow monster come straight for you when you enter the first door. Hide near the door and it won't hit you.
When you drop down to the fourth basement floor, the telepathic message tile will tell you not to use all your magic if you don't have the Medicine of Magic. This is crucial, because you will need several refills on magic for this dungeon.
Some of the statues are faces with tongues sticking out. Sometimes, you can pull the tongue out to either open doors or find other things. Try it out.
The stairway that leads to the fourth basement floor that isn't a door has some floor that you can bomb. Bomb it to get the Big Chest...which contains the Blue Mail. This reduces the damage you receive slightly. (Believe it or not, I could never find this when I played the game for some reason, and I ended up making it almost to the end with the Green Mail. How you're supposed to know that you can do this besides the help of a Player's Guide is beyond me.)
The boss is reachable via a hole from the sixth dungeon floor. The boss here is a one-eyed cloud encased in ice, and you're going to need all the magic you can get for this one.
You could melt the ice the boss is encased in with the Fire Rod, but if you use the Bombos Medallion, this becomes a moot point. All you have to do know is avoid the falling ice as well as the boss itself. Thankfully, the boss is easy: just keep whacking the boss and all the clones it creates with the whirlwind slash.
