Stamina

The default Stamina is 100. Stamina is used when sprinting, double jumping or when attacked by blocking.

Stamina Regeneration

Stamina regenerates by default at 8 points per second, and has a delay of 0.50s.

Frost Resistance

Basic frost protection timer starts with 40 seconds. Each subsequent level of frost protection increases the timer by 3:10 minutes and is stackable.

Passage Level

This represents the level of Shroud that you're able to enter. Passable areas of Shroud will be blueish-grey in color, while impassable Deadly Shroud will be red. Be careful when exploring near areas filled with Deadly Shroud; accidentally entering these areas will result in rapid damage to your character and likely death. Strengthen your Flame Altar's flame to enter higher levels of Shroud.

Time

This indicates how long the Flame can protect you from the Shroud. Your default personal time is four minutes with an additional minute by being Flameborn, blessed by the Flame bringing your total to five minutes. You can increase this time by spending Skill Points on talents that increase your Shroud timer. Activating the glowing hourglasses found in the Shroud, or by drinking Shroud Survival Flasks.

Where you encounter frost

In the Albaneve Summits at a certain height, player has to endure the icy cold.

Mechanics

A timer in the top left corner of the screen, indicated with a shield, will start if the player reaches a certain height, and kills them of hypothermia if the timer runs out. The frost timer can be regenerated either by moving to lower altitudes or by standing near a large pool of lava. The number right to the shield indicate the player's frost protection. If a player dies and respawns still in the frost biome, the timer does not reset fully, only about 75% is reset.

Frost protection can be further increased with Pocket Heater, food and late game armor.

Fireplaces provide additional frost resistance, as do most of the world's generated fireplaces. Note: some of them are only visually and do not provide any protection.
