Subzero Climate is a climate that appears in Dragonspine.

Although Subzero Climate is represented with a Cryo icon, the climate by itself never applies Cryo to the player or other targets. Targets will be affected by Cryo only from other sources, such as Cryo DMG.

Overview[]

In Subzero Climate, grass cannot burn, and players can gain the Sheer Cold gauge.

Sheer Cold[]

Similar to Stamina, Sheer Cold is shared between characters for each player. It appears as a gauge over the active character's HP bar. When the gauge is at least 70% full, the gauge pulses and beeps, and the player's peripheral vision is reduced. When the gauge is full, the active character loses HP.

Sheer Cold's accumulation and health loss from Sheer Cold may pause while the player is engaged in dialogue with an NPC or an object. They are not paused during Photo Mode, during which time passes normally.

Accumulation Rate and Modifiers[]

The base accumulation rate of Sheer Cold in Subzero Climates is 1% per second.

Certain statuses will boost or reduce the accumulation rate of Sheer Cold. Different modifiers stack additively. An accumulation modifier of -100% or lower prevents Sheer Cold from accumulating but does not deplete the gauge.

Depletion[]

Sources of Warmth[]

Sources of warmth are the primary method for depleting the Sheer Cold gauge. Standing near them provides a buff every 0.5s that lasts 1s and reduces the Sheer Cold gauge. Sources of warmth in Subzero Climates reduce the Sheer Cold gauge at a rate of 5% per 0.2s (4 seconds to completely deplete a full gauge). Sources of warmth in Subzero Climates include:

Scarlet Quartz is not a source of warmth.

Scarlet Quartz[]

Each Scarlet Quartz that is picked up reduces 5% of the Sheer Cold gauge.

Scarlet Quartz are only available in Dragonspine.

Leaving the Area[]

When players leave areas that have a Sheer Cold gauge, it reduces at a rate of 5% per second (20 seconds to completely deplete a full gauge).

HP Loss[]

HP Loss occurs while the Sheer Cold gauge is full. It is unaffected by the conditions that increase and decrease the Sheer Cold accumulation rate. The HP Loss only stops once the Sheer Cold gauge is no longer full.

The active character will lose HP at a rate of 1% Max HP + 150 HP per second.[1]

Some max HP thresholds and how long it takes for all HP to be depleted by Sheer Cold:

  • 30 seconds — 6,428 HP
  • 40 seconds — 10,000 HP
  • 50 seconds — 15,000 HP
  • 60 seconds — 22,500 HP
  • 70 seconds — 35,000 HP
  • 80 seconds — 60,000 HP

Lore[]

The subzero climate on Dragonspine is tied to the Skyfrost Nail that descended there. It is implied that the damage caused to the Ley Lines in the area from the Skyfrost Nail's descent is the reason for the abnormally cold temperatures.

Description[]

Subzero Climate...
  • Characters in Subzero Climate will continuously accumulate Sheer Cold. When Sheer Cold reaches its limit, they will start losing HP.
  • Bonfires and other sources of heat will diminish Sheer Cold.
  • Certain conditions like Snowstorms and actions like swimming will accelerate Sheer Cold's accumulation.
