The Icy Tunnels is an area on Sucia Island, mainly comprising cold tunnels excavated by the original inhabitants of the island. They are abandoned and there are no tracks in the tunnels. Near one entrance can be found a Sholai body, frozen completely solid: 'his final facial expression communicates pure terror'.

The tunnels contain a number of worn pylons, with carvings and writing that the Playable Character cannot understand. They also contain a number of specters (Level 9, health 101) and specter sages (Level 10, health 107). As the PC journeys through the tunnels, holes will open up in the walls releasing more specters. In the far southeastern corner is a larger chamber containing four more powerful spectres (level 13, health 133) and the Spectral Priest.

Behind the Spectral Priest are two sarcophagi. The lids are initially fixed shut, but sufficient Mechanics skill applied to two of the nearby pillars will enable them to be opened. The body inside one of the sarcophagi immediately crumble into dust, and the swords, shield, boots and robes have likewise deteriorated into uselessness; however, it leaves behind a Stabilizing Band. The other sarcophagus initially appears to contain only dust, but the dust then coalesces into a spectral form, which touches you and increases your Quick Action skill by 1.
