Pokémon Gold and Silver/Ice Path

'The Ice Path is very slippery in places, making your progress very difficult. Study the maps closely to make your way through the slick maze. You will also need a Pokémon with Strength to move boulders around so that you can continue on to Blackthorn City.'

Another tricky sliding puzzle
You got a taste of this in Pryce's Gym, but progressing past this ice field is a heck of a lot tougher. When you step on the ice floor of the path, you won't stop until you've hit a wall or a rock. It can take some planning and logic to get to where you want to go. With enough trial and error, you should be able to make your way to the right. The map shown to the right is for Gold and Silver. The correct path across the ice has been altered in Crystal.

The name of this location describes the types of Pokémon which can be caught here, most importantly, Jynx. You need a strong ice type for the upcoming Gym and also the Elite Four and Jynx is a good choice here, with moves Ice punch and also Powder Snow available at lower levels with each level up she gets more and more powerful.

Slide to HM 07 (Waterfall)
After you pass the first slippery floor, you will see an item on the ground to the far right. At the end of the second ice puddle is HM 07, Waterfall, a technique that lets your Pokémon travel straight up waterfalls! It's essential in several areas, including, and many other places. You can't beat the game without this move.

Push down the sliding barriers
You'll need to use Strength to push the rocks into the holes, dropping them down to the second basement level where you can use them to slide over to the stairs. They will give you stopping places on the large, icy floor below. Once again, the map to the right reflects Gold and Silver; the arrangement of the rocks has been altered in Crystal, although the position of the holes, and subsequently where they land below, remains the same.

Jump here for TM 44
After snagging the Nevermeltice in the third basement level (which powers up Ice-type moves), jump off the ledge just south of the right set of stairs to slide into TM 44 (healing move Rest).

To Blackthorn
You will return to the right side of the beginning of the Ice Path. You only only steps away from. Don't miss the PP Up item on your way out (and an extra Protein item for Crystal players).
