Exposure Esplanade is the cold zone in Hobopolis. When hobos in this area get damaged, the adventurer may be stabbed by falling icicles.
A primary stat of 350 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:
A hobo in a sealskin parka throws a snowball at you. It hits the picket fence next to you and splits open, revealing it's full of razor-sharp icicles. Are you sure you can handle these guys?
(It is recommended that you have at least 350 <mainstat> to adventure here.)
Pry open the fridge: Deposit 8,000-12,000 Meat in Clan Coffer
Pry yourself away from the situation: Skip adventure
Note: The fridge and freezer can be raided a total of five times per Hobopolis instance. After that, this adventure will no longer occur during the current instance.
Note: Occurs if another clanmate is already fighting Frosty.
Notes
49-51 hobo kills are needed to advance each image file, depending on the total number of hobos in the zone.
The zone has a hidden number of icicles that governs hobos' special attack and the results of yodeling in There Goes Fritz!. Approximately spaded numbers indicate that:
The zone begins with 1000 icicles.
Successfully breaking the pipe in Piping Cold adds 10 icicles.
When a cold hobo cries out, it dislodges an icicle with probability 1 - icicles / 1000. Dislodging removes 1 icicle.
Yodeling a little kills hobos equal to 1% of the icicle count and removes 5% of icicles.
Yodeling your heart out kills hobos equal to 9% of the icicle count and removes 30% of icicles.
Frosty will only appear when the location's image is on its 10th variation. After defeating Frosty this area can no longer be explored.
Attempting to adventure here after Frosty has been defeated yields the message:
There's nothing left in Exposure Esplanade. All of the snow forts have been crushed or melted, all of the igloos are vacant, and all of the reindeer are off playing games somewhere else.
