In this entry, we save the Water Crystal and unfreeze a fourth of the world! Onwards!
Ice Pyramid - 3F
Even more new enemies...even when the game still holds your hand, there's a new fight on every floor.
Gathers can be killed easily with the Jumbo Bomb, which actually makes the explosives useful in battle for once. If you don't kill them in one strike, they'll more than likely have enough time to to inflict massive damage on one of your party members with Selfdestruct...so heal up before you fight monsters here.
The Freezer Crabs are really easy. Just one shot from Benjamin's axe and they're gone.
Ice Pyramid - 4F
There's not really much to do here, but to get to the center room and get treasure and fight monsters takes some doing.
Ice Pyramid - 5F
Upon entering, press Up on the D-Pad to fall back down to 4F, and you'll get everything! Joy!
You'll also find a switch that opens a door near the red chest near the stairs that you couldn't access at first. Open that chest before you leave; it contains the Noble Armor for Benjamin, which supersedes the Steel Armor. It has protection against Water and Poison, which is pretty nice considering the next boss is Water-based. Now you can go back upstairs.
After collecting all the explosives and beating all the monsters, place a Jumbo Bomb on the crack in the floor at the middle of the intersection. Fall down there, and keep falling into pits until you reach B1.
Ice Pyramid - B1
For some reason, I am reminded of DeceasedCrab saying a pyramid is a "five-sided shape. Yes, there's a base."
The red chest that you'll spot immediately gives you the Knight Sword. It supersedes the old Steel Sword and is a lot more powerful.
Go up the ladder and you'll meet the boss. He'll disappear, so go down to the lower level (the stairs are at the lower-right corner of the room) and you'll be able to make your way back to 5F. Hit the switch with your sword, and you'll finally fight the boss.
Ice Golem
Weak against: Fire
Use Fire as much as you can on him. He can put you to Sleep, so be prepared to use Heal Potions.
When he casts Snowstorm, he'll replenish some health, so smack him with Fire spells to offset it at the post.
When you beat him, you'll free the Water Crystal, and Phoebe will leave your party. Don't forget to open the nearby chest and take the River Coin!
