Winter Outpost
Winter Outpost is an early game dungeon and a long-abandoned fortress in the tundra. The dungeon introduces a combination of both melee and long-range enemies to the player: as Frost Minions utilise unarmed attacks while Frost Wizards target the player with beams of ice.
The boss enemy of Winter Outpost is the Ice Elemental. The Ice Elemental is a large solid cube of ice with glowing red eyes, its ice crystals orbiting above are used to channel devastating frost rays and summon minions throughout the encounter.

Wave defence
- Wave Defence is available here. One item is received after every 15 waves, and the Extra item game pass adds one more on top of that.
- The Ice Elemental is the boss that spawns. Winter Outpost and Desert Temple are the only two dungeons in the game without a mini-boss.
- Defender titles can be unlocked by playing through Wave Defense on any map in the mode, and their rarity rises with the number of waves completed: a Common title at wave 30, an Uncommon title at wave 45, a Rare title at wave 100, and an Epic title at wave 300.
Trivia
- The Ice Elemental also spawns Ice Minions, which behave like the Frost mobs but deal more damage and carry more health up to Insane, where that reverses. They exist to pull the fight away from the boss and yield no experience when killed.
- Frost Wizards appear in groups alongside Frost Minions, and there is never more than one of them in a group.
- Winter outpost featured the first ever ranged base enemy being the "frost wizard"
