 The stairway from the second level is placed in the southwest of the courtyard outside the castle. All of the castle's doors are locked, and [[iron bars]] can be seen on the watch towers of the castle. A [[woolly mammoth]], a frost giant, and a saber-toothed tiger are generated just outside the entrance; blocking the doors are a pair of spear traps. An [[ice troll]] is stationed in each of the watch towers, and each is generated with 100 uncursed [[orcish arrow]]s and an uncursed [[orcish bow]].
-Three unlit treasure zoos are present within the castle, which is structured so that you must pass through at least two of them to reach the center. Iron bars within each of the "side" zoos connect them to the foyer, which is patrolled by a pair of snow golems. Two pairs of [[ice devil]]s are stationed outside and within the easternmost room, which is a temple to [[Moloch]] with a [[aligned priest|priest]] of [[Racial monster|a random compatible race]] present - the code implies that this priest assisted the evil witch that placed the curse upon Kathryn, transforming her into the Ice Queen.

Kathryn is generated hostile, while Bourbon and Ozzy are peaceful, but they will become hostile once you attack Kathryn. Defeating Kathryn the Ice Queen turns her into Kathryn the Enchantress, rendering her and her pets peaceful, with one exception: if playing as an [[Infidel]], Kathryn the Enchantress will be hostile towards the player - though still grateful for being released from her curse, she will not tolerate evil; as such, she will grant the Infidel 100 turns of safe passage before she becomes mobile and attacks.

The marked square also has a crystal chest that holds the [[Bag of the Hesperides]]; there is also a {{frac|10}} chance of a [[magic marker]] appearing inside the chest.

 The stairway from the first level leads out into a narrow passage that connects the two cliffsides, with the [[Abominable Snowman]] placed in the middle of the pass - it stands in front of a [[spiked pit]], with a [[spear trap]] behind the pit. A trio of [[revenant]]s is generated a short distance from the up stair, just in front of a bear trap.
-Further south, a [[saber-toothed tiger]] is generated next to the corpse of a [[Wizard (player monster)|wizard]] named Tim the Enchanter; there is a [[cornuthaum]] and a random [[spellbook]] on top of the corpse, both of which are uncursed. Four frost salamanders are generated at the marked locations above; a [[frost giant]] and a [[mastodon]] are generated near the down stair; and 12 random monsters are randomly placed around the level.

 It may be wise to lure the Abominable Snowman off the gorge pass towards the east if you plan on keeping the pass boulder-free; at least one boulder is worth leaving intact in order to fill up the spiked bit blocking the west end of the pass. [[Giant (starting race)|Giant]] characters can catch the boulders and either hold on to them or lob them back at the Abominable Snowman.

 A source of [[cold resistance]] is required to travel safely within the levels - similar to [[Gehennom]], entering without any source of the resistance will cause your [[hit points]] to slowly deplete, with the cold damage dependent on the amount of cold resistance you possess. Various cold-resistant monsters are generated on each level, and their [[corpse]]s should be enough to obtain full 100% resistance if you lack either that or a [[ring of cold resistance|ring]].
-Crossing the widespread ice can be hazardous without [[water walking boots]], or else a [[levitation]] or [[flight]] source - a monster that has an item capable of creating [[fire]] can melt it away and drown you, though this is just as much of a hazard for other monsters.
