After crash-landing the train from the tracks, head to Sretomorozsk and explore the new area.
Snezhnaya Map Release Date and News

Walk in the middle of the Sretomorozsk and interact with the villagers to find a place for shelter from the blizzard, so that Paimon can rest for the night. In the end, you meet Alyosha who offers to help you.

After meeting Alyosha, he will offer his house for Paimon to stay in. A cutscene will play during which the Traveler and Alyosha will discuss the crisis in Snezhnaya.
Before going to Alyosha's House, you can explore around Sretomorozsk to get Cryoculus 1, 2, 6, 7, and 41.

It's time to let Paimon rest inside the house while you head out to help Alyosha gather evidence.
| Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Follow Alyosha into the pipeline and watch a brief scene where Alyosha commands Tugarin to distract the enemies. |
| 2 | Jump off the pipe and carefully follow Alyosha until you both reach the upper floor office to check the freight list. |
During this phase, you will take control of Tugarin. Click on the dog skill to make a disarming gesture and wait for the people to leave. Interact with the box containing Kristall and follow the scent trail in the center to reach the suspicious corner.

After gathering the evidence, follow Alyosha to confront the liaison officer about the Kristall shipment.
Once the discussion is over, continue to follow Alyosha to another house, as he needs to check on Repnina, one of the villagers.

Return to Alyosha's house and discuss your next plans with everyone. When you're ready to depart, head to Sretomorozsk Station.

Use the Eye of Graeae again to call the train, and then choose where you want to travel. For now, the only available destination is Snezhnograd, so select that to drive the train to your chosen area.

A cutscene will trigger as the train suddenly enters the Shadow Realm. Watch as Alyosha sneaks around the shadow enemies; you can defeat them using basic sword attacks.

Explore the area and locate the Eye of Graeae to regain control of the train. Make your way towards the other train car to reach the Eye of Graeae.
Upon finding the Eye of Graeae, it will grant you a special skill that you can use to fight against the enemies in the Shadow Realm.
| Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select a control preset and familiarize yourself with the basic movements while operating the firing equipment. You can sprint to move faster and slide to fit through tight spaces. |
| 2 | As you approach the carriages, you will need to shoot at obstacles in your path. Aim at the explosive barrels and shoot it clear any obstructions. |
| 3 | Once you've learned the basic firing mechanics, you will encounter opponents taking cover. Aim your gun at them and use your Weapon Skill to unleash a powerful shot. |

When you reach the end of the platform, aim to use the Freeze Mark to summon the rope and reach the next train carriage.

Defeat all the enemies you encounter along the way, and make your way to the Prime Ice Zipline at the very end of the train car. Enter the zipline, and it will automatically transport you to the other side.
To remove the grapple, use the Eye of Graeae button, aim at the grapple hook at the side of the train on your right side, then press the refund button.
The Eye of Graeae button is the small button next to the Elemental Skill. The refund button is the same as the attack button, but can only be used after selecting the Eye of Graeae button.
| Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Once you’ve landed at the end of the zipline, look for the grapple hook on the right side. Click on the Eye of Graeae tool to remove it from the wall. After you’ve removed the first grapple hook, wait for the platform to reach the next train car. |
| 2 | Once you’ve hopped onto another Prime Ice Zipline, you can detach from it by holding down the jump button to release yourself from it. |

As you move through the train cars, you'll face more enemies in the nearby passing train car. Aim at them and defeat them successfully using Frag Crystals.
At the end of the train carriage, you'll find new firing equipment blueprint. The Eye of Graeae will introduce you to a Grenade Launcher, which can be used to effectively eliminate enemies with powerful blasts.
After defeating the regular enemies, prepare yourself to face the boss at the very end of the train!
| Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | To defeat the Chaotic Landcruiser, first, approach it and aim your Grenade Launcher at it to inflict fire damage. Next, move in closer and aim the Electro Frag Crystals at the enemy. |
| 2 | Once you have the Electro Frag Crystal close to the Chaotic Landcruiser, use the Grenade Launcher again to deal Overload damage! |
