The longer side areas that are inaccessible until the ice has thawed are separated into their own sections of the guide. Doing so opens up several side areas and allows access to all of the chests that were previously frozen shut. Once Aava, the King's Pet is defeated, you can dispel the snow storm and thaw the area. You must find the Eye of the Priestess to see these enemies, which includes Aava, the King's Pet, which is the first boss you will face. There are even a few enemies that are very difficult to see in the snow storm. You will come across many areas that are blocked off due to the ice, as well as chests that are frozen shut and enemies that are frozen in place. The area is frozen over and a snow storm fills the air with ice and snow.
The Crown of the Ivory King DLC is somewhat different compared to the previous two Dark Souls 2 DLC areas.
