- Melt All The Ice is a Roblox adventure where you melt frozen rooms with heating tools and uncover the story behind the frozen world
- Core loop: melt ice, open paths, upgrade power, push into new frozen areas
- Best early move: spend first resources on Melting Power upgrades before anything else
- Golden rule: skip slow barriers now, return after upgrading instead of forcing them
- Hidden finds: check corner ice and partially covered walls for secret openings
Walkthrough Overview: The Core Loop
Melt All The Ice, developed by The Frozen Studio, drops you into a fully frozen world with nothing but a heating tool. Every step of this walkthrough follows the same rhythm: clear reachable ice, open routes into unexplored sections, convert your earnings into melting power, then advance. Players who respect this cycle reach new areas quickly, while players who grind low-value ice in one spot stall out.
Phase 1: Starting Area
- Learn the melting mechanic
- Clear nearby ice blocks
- Build first upgrade fund
- Locate connected paths
Phase 2: Expansion
- Open blocked routes
- Buy early power upgrades
- Enter connected rooms
- Note slow barriers for later
Phase 3: Deep Progression
- Push into later frozen areas
- Save for stronger equipment
- Revisit skipped barriers
- Hunt hidden side rooms
If a frozen barrier takes noticeably longer than the surrounding ice, leave it. Return after your next power upgrade and it will melt in a fraction of the time.
| Phase | Focus | Main Action | Upgrade Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting Area | Basic melting | Clear nearby ice | First Melting Power levels |
| Early Expansion | Opening paths | Melt route-blocking ice | Melting Power, Tool Strength |
| Mid Game | New rooms | Explore connected areas | Progression upgrades |
| Late Game | Deep areas | Push tough frozen sections | Higher-cost equipment |
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow these five steps in order. Each one feeds directly into the next, and skipping a step usually means wasted time on ice your tool is not ready for.
Clear the Easy Ice First
Start with ice directly accessible from spawn. These blocks melt quickly, teach the core mechanic, and generate the resources for your first upgrades. Do not chase distant thick ice yet.
Open New Paths
Prioritize ice that blocks routes into unexplored sections. A cleared passage gives access to the entire map beyond it, which is worth far more than repeatedly melting low-value blocks in the same area.
Buy Early Power Upgrades
Spend your first meaningful earnings on upgrades that increase melting speed. Faster melting shortens every farming cycle that follows and gets you into stronger areas sooner.
Move Into Newly Opened Areas
Once your current section is mostly cleared, advance through the new rooms instead of grinding the slowest remaining blocks. Keep momentum forward, not backward.
Repeat the Upgrade Loop
Alternate between clearing efficient routes and improving your melting strength. This prevents the most common bottleneck: reaching later frozen areas with underpowered equipment.
New players often dump everything into one expensive tool too early. Cheaper efficiency upgrades compound across every room you clear, so they almost always pay off first.
Upgrades and Tools: What to Buy First
Upgrade value in Melt All The Ice is measured in one currency: time saved per block of ice. This ranking reflects how much each upgrade accelerates normal progression through the frozen map.
| Tier | Upgrade | Effect | When to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Melting Power | Directly reduces time to clear ice | Buy first whenever cost stays efficient |
| A | Tool Strength | Keeps equipment effective against stronger ice | When current ice starts slowing you down |
| A | Progression Upgrades | Maintains efficient advancement into later areas | After core melting speed is solid |
| B | Higher-Cost Equipment | Large later-game gains | Only after cheaper upgrades lose value |
Melting-Focused Build
- Fastest route clearing
- Best for speed progression
- Ideal solo choice
Progression-Focused Build
- Balanced benefits
- Steady advancement across areas
- Flexible for changing plans
Farming-Focused Build
- Long session efficiency
- Builds resources for big purchases
- Pairs well with patient play
A simple test: if your current ice takes roughly twice as long as it did a few rooms ago, that is your signal to stop pushing and invest in Tool Strength.
Rooms, Secrets, and Hidden Areas
Progression is tied directly to clearing ice and exposing new spaces. Treat every room, passage, and blocked route as part of one chain, and inspect each cleared space before moving on.
| Area Type | What It Looks Like | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Area | Spawn zone with thin ice | Clear nearby blocks, learn the loop |
| Connected Rooms | Spaces revealed behind melted barriers | Check all edges before leaving |
| Blocked Passages | Dense ice routes | Note them, return after upgrades |
| Side Paths | Openings off the main route | Always check for extra rooms |
Hidden content in this game rewards thorough inspection. The safest method is to fully examine any space that looks unfinished after the main route opens.
Covered Openings
Partially melted walls can hide exits. Finish clearing suspicious sections.
Corner Ice
Corners get skipped when moving fast. Clear isolated edge blocks.
Side Routes
Openings away from the direct path often lead to extra rooms.
Old Barriers
Ice you skipped early can reveal spaces once your power improves.
Before leaving any cleared room, do one slow lap along the walls. Remaining ice patches are the most common hiding spot for hidden passages.
Co-op Walkthrough Strategy
Co-op in Melt All The Ice is most useful when players divide the work instead of stacking on the same low-value block. One player pushes the main route while others finish nearby ice, inspect side paths, or chip at slower barriers.
Choose a Main Route
Agree on which visible path the group opens first so nobody spreads across unfinished areas.
Split Clearing Tasks
Work separate ice sections in the same area. Parallel clearing reveals rooms much faster than everyone repeating one movement.
Regroup for Slow Barriers
When the team hits a time-consuming section, focus group progress there instead of leaving one player alone.
Share Exploration Duties
After a room opens, one player checks the forward route while others sweep corners and side passages.
Walkthrough Milestones:
- Fully clear the starting area and open first paths
- Purchase first Melting Power upgrades
- Enter at least three connected frozen rooms
- Identify and note two slow barriers to revisit
- Discover one hidden side room or secret opening
If the whole session slows down on inefficient ice, the group should prioritize melting power before returning to difficult sections together.
FAQ
Q: What is the fastest way to start the Melt All The Ice walkthrough?
Clear the ice nearest your spawn, then melt only the blocks that block routes forward. Spend your first earnings on Melting Power upgrades, because faster melting shortens every room that follows.
Q: Should I force through thick ice barriers early?
No. If a barrier takes noticeably longer than surrounding ice, leave it and progress elsewhere. Return after your next power upgrade and it will clear far faster.
Q: Which upgrade should I buy first?
Melting Power is the top priority for almost every player. It directly reduces clearing time across the whole map, while expensive equipment is better saved for later stages.
Q: How do I find hidden rooms?
Inspect partially covered wall openings, clear isolated corner ice, and follow side paths away from the main route. Also revisit barriers you skipped once your melting power improves.
