Zone 4 — Frozen Yokai Vale (氷妖谷)
Frozen Yokai Vale (氷妖谷) is zone 4 of Yomi no Sho, designed for characters between level 14 and level 22.
A frozen valley where the snow falls upward and the Yuki-onna sing. The enemies here hit hard and have meaningful DEF for the first time. Bring a self-heal or expect to visit the Shrine Maiden often.
Level range
Section titled “Level range”Recommended: levels 14–22. You can travel here as soon as you reach level 14, but the boss of stage 10 will be challenging until you’re closer to level 22. Pushing into this zone below level 14 is possible but not recommended — the enemies’ base stats assume level-14 gear.
Enemies
Section titled “Enemies”Two enemy archetypes spawn in this zone. Each fight picks one at random. Both archetypes use the same stage scaling and boss rules (see Bestiary for details).
| Enemy | JP | Emoji | HP | ATK | DEF | SPD | Crit | XP mult | Gold mult |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuki-onna | 雪女 | ❄️ | 200 | 28 | 8 | 14 | 12% | ×1.7 | ×1.5 |
| Hyakki | 百鬼 | 👺 | 260 | 22 | 14 | 11 | 8% | ×1.7 | ×1.5 |
Boss (stage 10)
Section titled “Boss (stage 10)”Every 10th stage is a boss fight. The boss is the same archetype as the rest of the zone, but with significantly inflated stats:
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| HP, ATK, DEF | ×3 (vs. base) |
| SPD | ×1.2 (vs. base) |
| Crit | ×1.5 (vs. base) |
| XP reward | ×5 |
| Gold reward | ×5 |
| Name suffix | ”— Warlord” (English) / “・名将” (Japanese) |
At stage 10, enemies are also scaled by the stage multiplier of 1.72×. So a stage-10 boss’s actual stats are roughly:
| Boss | Base HP | Stage 10 HP (with boss mod) | Base ATK | Stage 10 ATK (with boss mod) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuki-onna — Warlord | 200 | ~1032 | 28 | ~144 |
| Hyakki — Warlord | 260 | ~1342 | 22 | ~114 |
Every combat victory has a 20% chance to roll an item drop. The dropped item is rolled from the game’s full item pool, but only items with minZone <= current zone are eligible. See Drop Rates for the full rarity weights.
In zone 4, the eligible items are those with minZone <= 4. This includes:
- All common items (minZone 1–4)
- All rare items (minZone 2–4)
- Some epic items (minZone 3–4)
See the Items Index for the full list of items that can drop here.
NPCs in this zone
Section titled “NPCs in this zone”No NPCs live in this zone. Return to Yomi Town for merchant/healer/quest services.
Strategy
Section titled “Strategy”The Yuki-onna’s 28 base ATK is the first trash-mob attack stat that genuinely threatens a level-15 character. Bring DEF gear (Lacquer Plate, Monk’s Cassock) and a self-heal. The Hyakki’s 14 DEF will frustrate multi-hit classes (Onmyoji, Shinobi) — switch to single-hit skills.
Quests that involve this zone
Section titled “Quests that involve this zone”No specific quests involve this zone, but the kill-wildcard quests (e.g. “Crimson Cleansing”) can be progressed here.
