	'''METHOD 2: Killing Walls (Skip jumps)'''		'''METHOD 2: Killing Walls (Skip jumps)'''
	# Other than the big jump at the very start, you can avoid the other jumps by killing Walls of Ice (normal damage) ~~and~~ Frozen Stone Walls (life bolt ~~rings~~, ~~immune~~ to ~~other damage~~, ~~stand near door~~ so ~~rings hit door~~, ~~if you stand close~~ you can ~~get up to 3 hits per cast).~~		# Other than the big jump at the very start, you can avoid the other jumps by killing Walls of Ice (normal damage). The Frozen Stone Walls are no longer killable and spawn randomly in place of some of the ice walls (previously you were able to kill them with life bolt ring spells). What this means is that of the several ways down, only one will be usable because the others will have at least one stone wall in the way (though one route does allow you to make a short jump to avoid a possible stone wall). Note that golems near each Wall will become aggressive once you begin attacking, so be careful. Because it is random, each time the dungeon spawns the stone wall placements can change. Below are the different possible routes you can take:
	# The quickest (fewest Walls to kill) way is to proceed North from the entrance and bear Right at the split, then proceed through as normal, bearing East and South after the first Wall of Ice. ~~Note that golems near each Wall will become aggressive once you begin attacking, so be careful.~~		#* '''Route A:''' The quickest (fewest Walls to kill) way is to proceed North from the entrance and bear Right at the split, then proceed through as normal, bearing East and South after the first Wall of Ice.

Before attempting jumps, however, please note that jumping in this dungeon is risky due to high damage winds that can easily kill you if you are cold vulned (a near constant condition due to the frost elementals that spam wars and vulns).
