How to Get Essence of Ice in Hytale

In Hytale, you can get Essence of Ice by defeating Yetis, Frost Skeletons, and Frost Snails in the Whisperfrost Frontiers, which is Zone 3.

Yeti Whisperfrost Frontiers (Mountainside Caves) Every Yeti cave is lit by a small campfire near the entrance, making them easy to spot if you have the high ground. Yetis are solitary enemies, meaning you will only find one Yeti for each cave you find. In addition to Essence of Life, Yetis also drop Heavy Hide.
Frost Skeleton Whisperfrost Frontiers Frost Skeletons can be found patrolling the icy landscape of the Whisperfrost Frontiers or defending their strongholds in the icy tundra.

  • To find the patrols, wait for night and look for the telltale glow of lit torches. Each patrol typically consists of two or three Frost Skeletons.
  • To find Frost Skeleton bases, look for black, symmetrical structures on the map. These buildings are made out of Shale blocks and building materials that give them a dark gray look.
Frost Snail Whisperfrost Frontiers (The Everfrost) Frost Snails move slowly, on top of the large, frozen glaciers. They emit a faint, blue glow from their bodies. However, this glow is very dim and can often be mistaken for the glow from Azurecap Mushrooms, Blue Glowing Mushrooms, or even Blue Crystal Shards.

If you notice brown buildings or tiles on the map in Zone 3, instead of the usual black, you’ve found an Outlander base. Outlanders are a unique enemy type that don’t drop Essence of Ice when defeated – you’ll only get Shadoweave Scraps and Outlander gear instead.
