“ | The land of Nesaak was not always frozen. It was adopted by the bitter Twain son, Theorick, who forged the land in his own image. Though never truly evil, Theoricks enemies lingered as souls long enough to take possession of his body upon death, and wielded his immense icy powers. | „ |
~ Wynncraft Help Guide |
The Ice Barrows, subtitled "A black wind blows through you..." is a level 45 Dungeon located south of Nesaak in the Nesaak Forest. The boss of the dungeon is Theorick, a corrupted cryomancer, son to Marius Twain.
More information about this dungeon is shown in its associated quest Fate of the Fallen.
A list of the items you're able to purchase with the rewards from this Dungeon can be found on the Dungeon Merchant page.
Room 1
- Ghostly Voice: Soldier! I'm not sure it is wise to be here... An icy death awaits you if you proceed. A death that I will cause..
- Ghostly Voice: I have many regrets of my time spent alive in Wynn. I do not wish for my lingering mistakes to harm anyone else. Turn back.
After passing the Key Collector and entering the dungeon, you will find yourself in a frozen tomb similar to the entrance. Make your way down the path towards an archway guarded by a Freezing Guard. When killed, this guard will make a kill counter go up by 1. Moving on, you will find a closed door and a prompt; you need to kill a total of 10 Freezing Guards. Similarly to many other mobs in the dungeon, they have a massive Earth weakness, so it is recommended to either bring an Earth-based weapon or utilize elemental spell conversions to kill them.
While moving through the tunnels, you can either kill or avoid the Icy Stares, but you should not try to kill the Illusory Specters due to their extremely high health and the biting gusts they drop. You will likely need to revisit some areas due to the low spawn rate of Freezing Guards. Once you've collected all 10 tokens, give them to the token collector near the entrance to advance.

Room 2
The second room is a single large ice cavern, with a deep chasm and underground river. To cross to the other side, you need to complete a parkour challenge. All of the platforms are made of slippery ice and some are very narrow, so be extra careful not to fall off; if you do, you'll be teleported back to the start of the room and have to attempt the parkour again. You cannot skip the parkour using movement spells, as you will simply be teleported to the start again as if you had fallen into the chasm. This parkour can be very difficult and may take several attempts, so it is recommended to bring healing potions in case you take damage when falling.
Room 3
- Ghostly Voice: You must think you can save me? There is no cure for what I have.
- Ghostly Voice: Unless... You want to set me free?
The next stage is entirely combat; you appear in a small frozen room, and a large number of level 47 Poltergiceds will begin rapidly spawning. Each one contributes to a kill counter that maxes out at 32. This phase can be very dangerous for unprepared players: the Poltergiceds respawn very quickly, and can deal significant damage even at high levels. In addition, the Poltergiceds that take the form of Ice Blocks will spawn a level 45 Biting Gust when killed, which will quickly self-destruct and deal additional damage. It is highly recommended to use crowd-control spells to damage as many mobs as possible in this room. Despite the seemingly high kill requirement, the volume of mobs makes collecting 32 tokens quite fast.

Room 4
You will now face two puzzle challenges, each more difficult than the last. There are two flooded chasms blocking the way to the next room, and an invisible path must be located over each in order to progress. As you walk, if you are on the correct path, ice blocks will appear underneath you to hold you up; otherwise, you will fall into the water and have to try the challenge again. The first puzzle is relatively simple: floating eyeballs are placed at each corner to show you the direction you need to go.
After crossing this first chasm, however, you will have to cross the second. This path is both longer and more difficult, as only half of the corners are marked with eyeballs. You can either attempt to look around and turn at the points where you would be lead to the next eyeball, or you can simply slowly move across the chasm while sneaking, preventing you from falling off the edge in case of a wrong turn. Either way, once you've completed it, you can move on to the next room, which is guarded by another Frozen Soldier blocking the path, but you can simply walk around this one if you want.
Room 5
In the fifth phase, you must run through a large, winding tunnel and make it to the other end alive. While you do not need to collect any tokens along the way, the tunnel is filled with several dangerous mobs, which you will need to avoid. At three points in the tunnel, an ice wall will temporarily appear, blocking the path and forcing you to survive against the mobs in the tunnel. After a time marked on the signs that appear in front of the ice walls, it will break down again and you can continue. After passing the third ice wall, jump down the hole in the floor to continue. Using a fast enough horse or movement spells, it is possible to pass all three walls before they spawn and bypass the survival sections entirely, but getting caught in a wall will give you heavy debuffs for 20 seconds.

Room 6
- Ghostly Voice: I froze this land to allow it to heal... People did not understand... They came for me, seeking revenge.
- Ghostly Voice: Of course, just like you... They cannot leave. Their souls are stuck here. For the spell must not be broken.
After jumping down the hole you will fall into a wide, circular room with an ice pillar and shallow lake in the center. There is one central kill counter directly in front of the entrance, and three more at different points around the room. Each of the kill counters around the wall requires Possessed Nesaak Warrior kills to activate; each counter summons a miniboss that must be fought and killed.

The first miniboss is the level 49 Fanatical Ice Mage, requiring 6 kills to fight. It attacks with several snowballs in rapid succession from a distance and can close the distance quickly with a Charge. The second is the very fast level 49 Frostbitten Wight, which requires 6 kills. It attacks with melee strikes and a powerful Multihit but stops every few seconds. Utilize this downtime to land your hits. The final miniboss in the room is the level 54 Shade of Theorick, requiring 8 kills to fight. The Shade attacks with snowball projectiles and can inflict Weakness, utilize a blinding Teleport, or attempt to Vanish from sight. It has a massive health pool compared to the other two, but it shares the massive Earth weakness of the Freezing Guards and Frozen Soldiers. Use an Earth-based weapon or Earth spell conversions to kill it. After all three bosses have been defeated, the passage to the boss room will be opened.

Reanimated Son of Twain
Theorick's main form of attacking is sending out snowflakes from his staff towards the player, which can hurt them if they are hit by the snowflakes. Theorick's main attack will happen at a more frequently the lower his HP is. Theorick will use a wide array of spells during his fight:
- Ice Snake: Used whenever, Theorick will pound his staff into the ground to summon a line of ice blocks that slow the player by 60% for 2 seconds, launch them upwards, and damage them if caught in it.
- Frozen Teleport: Used whenever, Theorick will clutch onto and raise his staff in order to teleport into another spot in the arena.
- Sword Summon: Used when his HP is below 80% (37,600 HP), Theorick will summon 4 swords that circle him and then pierce the spots around him in cardinal directions. 3 Summoned Frost Swords appear after this.
- Freezing Snare: Used when Theorick's HP is below 75% (35,250 HP), an area will be highlighted in the arena that will freeze the player in place. The player can free themselves by shaking their mouse back and forth.
- Chilly Spikes: Used when his HP is below 50% (23,500 HP), Theorick will summon large spikes directly underneath the player, marked by fire particles and an Elder Guardian curse noise.
