Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Hints
How do I get off the ice floes safely?
1 of 4: When does this happen? This is the most annoying kind of puzzle in computer games: it's random, the clock is ticking, and if you make a mistake you die. Feh!
2 of 4: Your goal is to get to the upper right corner of the screen where the coat is before your temperature indicator runs out and you freeze. (And no, you can't use the Toasty Packs here. I don't know why not.) Jump from ice floe to ice floe in that general direction and see what happens.
3 of 4: What happens is that random floes rise and sink as you jump. In addition to being a problem because the path you need may suddenly disappear, it's also a problem because the piece that you need to reach the coat isn't there when you start, and you need to keep jumping around till some random chance makes it appear.
4 of 4: There seems to be no pattern to what chunks of ice appear when, so I can't tell you exactly what jumps to make. Just keep calm and keep trying, and remember that sometimes jumping away from the coat will make the right floe appear, so feel free to experiment.
