Ice-Cold Factory

Ice-Cold Factory is a non-existent area in Hollow Knight. It has ice-related hazards and the player can freeze.

= Location = Under Queen's Gardens but above Deepnest. In total there are 5 floors. The only way to access them is either through the stairs at the end of each corridor, or a hidden passageway through secret makeshift vents.

= How to Access = In Marmu's arena, you can break a certain part of the ceiling to lead to a small room. Inside are a couple of Belflies and the Frozen Key. Next, go to the connection between Queen's Gardens and Deepnest. Use the key on a burned toll stand to open this area.

 * Multiple Geo mines across the factory encased in ice. Sizes include small, medium, and large. Can be struck 3, 5 or 8 times. Each geo mine will have either 29, 43, or 71 Geo.
 * Multiple dead workers spread across the factory that give out really juicy lore when dream nailed.

= NPCs =
 * Encased Bug: - A large spider-looking bug. Stuck inside an ice cube, yet still alive. When dream nailed alive, it gives off some phrases about a "manager". Cannot be talked to after defeating the Frost Conqueror, because he froze inside the ice. Dreamnailing him dead gives off interesting lore about the factory's history, himself, and how it came to ruin. After half of his dead dreamnail dialogue, his name changes from "Encased Bug" to "Encased Manager".
