MAPC3, Frigid Peak Zone Act 1, abbreviated as FPZ1, is the first act of Frigid Peak Zone, the second zone in Blue Heaven. It takes place in a desolate, frozen tundra. This act is largely straight-forward to go through, as there are no major path splits. Unlike Mystic Realm's Midnight Freeze Zone, the water does not damage the player. Some death pits are also present in the level, but they are largely out of the way so are not usually a threat.
Walkthrough
You start off in a large outside room. Walk down the platform, and jump across to the ledge attached to the room's central pillar. Climb up the ledges and cross the bridge to the platform on the other side of the room. If you fell down to the floor below, look for a yellow spring hidden against the pillar to get back up to the first ledge.
Walk down the platform to find an opening to a tunnel containing a river. Jump into the river, and ride the current all the way until you enter the second outdoor room. Jump to the ledge on your left just before the large waterfall. Follow the path and cross the bridge to the other side, then walk down the platform to the shaded area, where you will see the first Star Post. If you fell down the waterfall in this room, you can get up to the same place using a moving platform nearby.
After the Star Post, you will enter a cave with a large pool and several platforms made of ice. To get to the exit on the other side, you can either walk round the pool using the long path to your left, or you can platform across the ledges to your right to save time.
You will enter another outdoor room, this time on the edge of a cliff next to a death pit. Follow the path to your right, which takes you through a small tunnel and out again. At the end of the platform is an opening to another cave on your right. Go in this cave and follow the passage around the bend to the entrance of another tunnel to another cave room. In the middle of this passage, a crumbling sound will play and a wall will fall down, opening up more of the passage for you to walk through. At the end is another small room. On the other side of this room, you will see the second Star Post to your left.
In the passage immediately after the Star Post, another crumbling sound will play and a segment of floor from outside will fall down. Look for one of the three yellow springs hidden in the snow to send you up onto the platform into another large outdoor room. Follow the path underneath the bridge to reach a waterfall, where you will see a set of ledges you can climb up. Turn around and then jump up the platforms until you reach one attached to the cliff. Walk along the cliff until you reach the opening to another tunnel, jumping across the waterfall along the way. This tunnel takes you into another cave room with a pillar in the middle. Behind this pillar is the Level End Sign.
Points of interest
Extra lives
- In the cave after the first Star Post, an extra life can be found on a platform above the middle of the pool. Sonic must use a Whirlwind Shield to get up to the platform, while Tails and Knuckles can fly/climb up to it.
- In the outdoor area after the cave, go left and jump up the set of ledges to the top, then jump up to the nearby platform, where an extra life can be found.
- In the second cave, look for a hidden bustable wall in the right wall of the passage. This reveals a tunnel to a pool of water. Jump in the water and walk into the next room, and take the blue spring up onto the ice platform. On it is an extra life and a Silver Ring Monitor.
Shields
- At the start of the level, jump down to the floor below. Look for a bustable wall hidden along the wall. Spindashing through this wall reveals an Attraction Shield.
- In the tunnel after the starting room, a Liquid Shield can be found on a ledge to the side of the river.
- In the second large room, jump to the ledge to the right of the waterfall as you go in. Look for a yellow spring hidden in the snow against the ledge, and use it to get on top of the ledge. Follow the path and look to your left to see a Liquid Shield.
- In the same room, go to the floor at the bottom, and walk over to the wall in shade next to the moving platform. There you will find a Whirlwind Shield in a small hole in the wall.
- In the cave after the first Star Post, a Whirlwind Shield is hidden in the water under the ice platform to the left of the entrance.
- A Whirlwind Shield can be found in the same room as Sonic's emblem, next to the small red brick house.
Invincibility
- At the start of the level, jump down to the floor below. Walk towards the ledge on the other side to find an invincibility monitor nearby, close to the wall.
- In the second large room, go up the ledge to the Liquid Shield, but instead of following the path, jump to the nearby ledge. Jump up the next ledge and follow the path, which leads you to an invincibility monitor.
Emblem locations
- Sonic: After climbing up onto the cliff in the outdoor room after the second Star Post, look for a small hole in the wall next to the part of the floor covered in ice. Spindashing into this hole takes you to a room with a small red brick house. On top of the house is the emblem.
- Tails: In the second outdoor room from the start, cross the bridge to the other side. Look up to see a small hole in the wall with the emblem inside. Fly up to this hole to get the emblem.
- Knuckles: In the cave after the first Star Post, the emblem can be found on the high platform above the middle of the pool, on the opposite side to the extra life.
