How to Get Icium¶
Frost Islands¶
Icium can be mined from white or blue minining outcrops in Frost Islands. There’s a higher chance of finding them from white mining outcrops, so prioritize those if you can.
1: Southern tip of the highlands on the west side of Area 5, directly north of the main camp. From the main camp, slide north and then land on the highlands to the right. From there, continue forward (north) and then wiredash across the gap.
2: Near the center of the highlands on the north side of Area 3. From the previous node, climb up the nearby cliff and use the great wirebug to launch yourself west. After landing, drop down right and use the great wirebug below to travel north-north-west. Now head west, between the rock formations and you’ll soon find the mining outcrop.
3: At the very top of the mountain west from the previous node. From the previous node, carry on west towards the end of the highlands. Clamber up to the highest point, then wiredash across to the highlands on the other side. Keep going west, then go around the back of the mountain. Use a great wirebug here to reach the mountain peak.
4: On a ledge near the west side of the wall surrounding Sub-Camp 2. If you haven’t unlocked Sub-Camp 2, it’s on the highlands near the intersection of areas 8 and 10.
5: Do not bother visiting this node, except out of curiosity. It’s on a high up ledge at the northernmost part of Area 9. If you’re adamant, grab an extra wirebug in Area 9. Climb up the vine-covered walls, turn right and clamber up the ledge, then turn left and use wirebugs to surmount the cliff face.
Now for the tricky part. Look left and up. There’s a ledge above, but the wall is too slippery to climb. Manually wiredash upwards with and . Between wiredashes, press to hang in mid-air. Due to the distance, you’ll either need 3 wirebugs or mid-air roll with .
Managed to climb up? Good. Turn backwards and there’s a ledge ahead, with the fifth mining outcrop. Wait for your wirebugs to recover, then carefully wiredash across. If you’ve come this way, you might as well activate the nearby jewel lily here and grab Relic Record IX.
6 and 7: At the top of a shaft at the north side of Area 12, underground. Grab a 3rd wirebug near the south of Area 12. Near the north, you should see light shining from above. Look up and manually wiredash upwards with and . If you get enough height, you can start running up the side of the shaft. Keep running and you’ll emerge outside, where two outcrops can be found at both ends of a long ledge. Remember to press to pause and regain stamina.
8: Crawl through a small gap south of Area 12 or north-east of Area 11, underground. You’ll reach an enclosed space below Area 9. The last mining outcrop is on a ledge towards the east.
