Why Is Ice Cavern So Unique in Dark and Darker?
The reason this map is so unique is that you can choose to stay on the map and move to the next area, known as the Ice Abyss. Ice Abyss is significantly harder than Ice Cavern and contains the arena of the Ice Wyvern. It is a final boss with a myriad of attacks and phases. Additionally, the boss is nearly impossible to defeat alone, so we recommend progressing with a properly equipped team.
