On your adventure to uncover the secrets of Luma Island, the next destination you’ll explore is the chilly, snow-covered Mountain. Despite the biting cold and the pesky crows, ancient civilizations once thrived here, and you’ll uncover remnants of their history.
Thanks to Old Man Jeffery’s wisdom, you’ll learn there are three more tablets hidden in different temples, each waiting to be discovered. These locations will challenge you with treacherous landscapes and dangerous obstacles, and the temples themselves present even greater challenges than you’ve faced before.
How To Retrieve Frozen Tablet A
After fixing the Cable Car and arriving at the Mountain, your first step should be to gather resources, followed by a visit to the large ruins located slightly northwest of the Cable Car platform. Once there, talk to Old Man Jeffery again. Just like in the Forest, you need to collect three tablets to unlock the central ruin of the Mountain.
The first temple you’ll encounter is the Forgotten Mountain Temple, situated at the eastern end of the Mountain. To get there, follow the path that leads northwest from the Cable Car platform.
Tip: Be cautious of the bear roaming the Mountain during the day. It can take you down in one hit and remains unharmed by your Whip.
Upon reaching the temple, you must hit three switches near the entrance within a set time to unlock the door:
- The first switch is on the right side of the temple near the cliff.
- The second switch is located directly across from the temple entrance, on a small mountain peak accessible by a bridge.
- The third switch is found on the left side of the temple, down the slope next to an unfinished tent.
If you manage to activate all three switches in time, the entrance to the Forgotten Mountain Temple will open, allowing you to delve inside and tackle the puzzles for your first Frozen Tablet.

How To Retrieve Frozen Tablet B
Your second destination is the Ruined Mountain Temple, located at the northern edge of the Mountain. From the Cable Car platform, take the northeast path and continue past the unfinished camp on the northern side.
Note: If you go through the cave near the Ruined Mountain Temple, you can kick down a tree log to create a shortcut back to the Mountain entrance.
In this temple, you need to light three braziers using one Mountain Stone and three Mountain Resins each. The locations for these are:
- The first brazier is at the northeastern edge, just below the unfinished campsite.
- The second brazier is situated on a curved cliff south of the Ruined Mountain Temple.
- The third brazier can be found near the northwestern edge, on a slope next to the gazebo and decorative statues.

How To Retrieve Frozen Tablet C
The final temple is the Forsaken Mountain Temple, located near the top of the Mountain. Use the northeast path by the Cable Car platform to reach it. Follow it north until you reach snowy ground, where you will encounter five Crow Snowmen.
You can defeat or avoid them while continuing up the path, sticking close to the cliffs to dodge the giant rolling snowballs. On your way, you’ll pass two Tribute Statues and Talking Stone Sne. Use ten Mountain Wood on the unfinished scaffolding to block the falling snowballs obstructing your path.
After crossing a frozen lake with slippery ice tiles, bypass the beam from the Snowstorm Prism using three rocks scattered around the lake. Beware of giant snowballs as you progress, timing your moves carefully.
At the end of this section, you’ll find three gem pillars that need to be aligned. When all three beams light the temple entrance, a cutscene will play, revealing the door opening.

Make your way to the bottom, where you’ll find the Ancient Peak Key alongside two Purple Chests waiting for you on the floor.
