The Frigid Lake is a lake near the Ice Lord's Stronghold. A Guardhouse is located on it's southern shore.[1]
Background[]
At the top of a trail in the Frozen Reaches is a deadly cold mountain lake. On the far share rises the citadel of the Ice Lord. Two of his Ice Orc minions stand guard at the front gate and open fire for anyone who gets too close.
It is not recommended that one step in the water. Wading in the Frigid Lake means instant death. One cannot skirt the lake to the west, there is no way to get around that side without stepping in the lake. The Ice Lord's stronghold sits across the killer water. One has to go along the east side of the lake to keep their feet dry avoiding the deadly cold. Hugging the cliffs as they go.[2]
Alternatively one could reach the stronghold through an obscure passage, a narrow canyon leading to the backside of the castle.
Behind the Scenes[]
It was not very wide and could be crossed with some pain, or carefully walked around (the banks are very thin). It is recommened to reach the Stronghold using the walkaround passage through the mountains. However, the official strategy guide uses the eastern shore cliff hugging method to get Connor to the castle.
