Reaching Gutanbac Shrine
Gutanbac Shrine is located on icy terrain on the Great Sky Island. This is the first location the players are introduced to and they will be the third ability on your ability list. By the time you reach this Shrine, you would have encountered some friendly constructs who teach you how to make Food and offered some tips on how to stay warm. As you approach the cold, you will need to have picked up a few Spicy Peppers and turned them into dishes. Take 1-5 Spicy Peppers to put into a lit pot. This will turn into Spicy Sauteed Peppers which will restore hearts and low-level cold resistance for a short period. With 1 spicy pepper, this will give you 2:30 minutes of Cold Resistance.
Make sure you have enough cold resistance effects to last your trip till you reach the shrine. There will also be a pot nearby you can use, and a number of Spicy Peppers to Pick Up.
