After that, you must flee from the Dummy 6 times, and not attack it.

Make sure to bring the Ice Cream to the Chill-Out Snowman, but refuse to give it.

You'll know if you're doing it right if the rocks in Iceburn Cave are replaced by a single Ice Spike NPC which mentions that something weird is going on.

After Samuel joins the party, backtrack to the ice portion defeat all the Ice Rocks. This will cause the former to ask if Colt even knows what he's doing.

When you get to the exit, the Rock Crusher will appear like it normally would. However, instead of a battle starting, Aria will freeze it.

Instead of the King opening the entrance to the Tower of Sun, it is open from the start.

When you reach the Light Creeps, Aria will explain the Eternal Day, causing them to leave without fighting.

After getting the artifact, go to the Calming Plains. Markus will fight the party.

After this, continue onward to the Puzzle Ghost. They will offer the Puzzle Knife for 1 G. Choose the option "We don't need it". The ghost will be surprised, and will insist. However, Aria freezes them, just like she did with the Rock Crusher.
