Icecap Plant

Icecap Plant

Description

Icecap is one of the magical plants in Remixed Dungeon that can be grown from its seed (Icecap Seed). When activated, it releases a cloud of pollen that freezes nearby creatures.

In-game description: “Upon touching an Icecap excretes a pollen, which freezes everything in its vicinity.” (Icecap_Desc, strings_all.xml#L1103)

Stats

  • Seed: Icecap Seed (item kind `Icecap.Seed`)
  • Appearance: Small blue flower (sprite frame index 1, per `plantsDesc/Icecap.json`)
  • Effect Range: The plant cell plus all 8 adjacent cells
  • Primary Effect: Freeze on every non-LOS-blocking cell in range
  • Alchemy Class: Potion of Frost (IcecapSeed.java sets `alchemyClass = PotionOfFrost.class`)

Effects

  • Releases the freezing effect when any character steps on it
  • Affects the source cell and all eight neighbours; cells blocked by line of sight are skipped
  • The effect is identical to Potion of Frost
  • When eaten: heals and applies a doubled Frost buff (duration `5 x durationFactor x 2`)

Mechanics

  • Found growing naturally in the dungeon, including in the Treasury and Spiders Treasury levels
  • Grown by planting Icecap Seeds
  • Activates when any character (hero or enemy) steps on it
  • Effect area: 1 tile radius (immediate adjacent tiles, excluding LOS-blocked cells)
  • When eaten: heals `Random.Int(0, max1)` and applies a 2x duration Frost buff

Strategy

  • Excellent for freezing groups of enemies in tight spaces
  • Useful against fast-moving enemies that are difficult to hit
  • Can be eaten for emergency healing and a long Frost buff
  • Consider planting in corridors to freeze enemies before combat
  • LOS-blocking terrain (walls, boulders) shields adjacent cells from the freeze
