Map
The Map is where each run takes place. The player travels via a path of events across different stages. Each stage has two paths that connect a handful of events, ending with a Boss or Miniboss. The player chooses one path to follow, and visits each event on that path.
Zones
As players play through a run, they will pass through three zones on the map. Each zone varies the number of events encountered as well as different map decor and battle background. There are no zone-specific events, but some events are more likely to show up earlier/later in a run.
Snowdwell and Tundra
The players begin the journey by leaving Snowdwell and into the snowy lands beyond. Players will encounter 3-4 events between battles in this zone. These areas are depicted as snow-covered forests and plains with scattered rocks and distant mountain ranges.
Ice Caves
After beating the first boss, players move into the Ice Caves. In the Ice Caves, players will find 3-4 map events between battles. Here, one can find caves populated with massive ice stalagmites and stalactites with various creatures and debris frozen over.
Frostlands
The areas beyond the second boss are known as the Frostlands. Players can expect to visit 1-2 events between battles, and it is here the player can find and fight the Eye of the Storm. This region has huge purple Frost formations and leftover equipment.
Map Events
The events players encounter are purely beneficial events, sometimes offering Items or Bling, finding a new Companion, or stopping at a shop. The following are map events that can be encountered:
