Albaneve Summits: Surviving the Frozen Frontier
Introduced in the **Souls of the Frozen Frontier** update, the Albaneve Summits (often called the Frozen Heights) represent one of the most challenging endgame regions in Embervale. Extending the northern reaches of the map, this biome demands specialized preparation and a high level of Flameborn progression.
❄️ The Cold Mechanic
Unlike the Shroud, the cold of the Summits is a constant threat. Entering deep snow or high altitudes without Cold Resistance will drain your stamina and eventually reduce your health. You must craft specialized armor or use Spicy Stews to survive.
New Resources & Crafting
The Summits introduce a new tier of materials essential for the 1.0 item sets:
- Obsidian: Found in volcanic vents and high-altitude crags. Used for master-tier weapons and reinforced building blocks.
- Silver: Deep veins located within the frozen rivers and mountain caves. Required for advanced magical conduits.
- Yak Hair/Leather: Obtained from hunting the native Yaks. Essential for crafting thermal-lined armor sets.
- Granite: A sturdy building material found throughout the peaks, perfect for high-durability fortresses.
- Frozen Shroud Hallow: Faster, more aggressive variants of the undead that can freeze players in place.
- Mountain Yaks: Don't let their appearance fool you; a charging Yak can shatter early-game armor instantly.
- The Frost Weaver: The regional boss located at the highest peak, requiring precision greatsword combat or high-spirit magic to defeat.
Vertical Navigation: Updraft Gliding
The Summits are extremely vertical. To aid movement, the update introduced Thermal Updrafts—steaming vents that can launch a glider higher into the air. Master these to reach floating islands and hidden peaks that house the biome's legendary loot.

⚠️ Preparation Tip
Before heading north, ensure you have at least Level 25 gear and have unlocked the Ghost Glider. The verticality and environmental hazards make low-level exploration nearly impossible.
