One begins to see El Nath's snowy nature starting at the 5th floor or Orbis Tower or so, where the floor becomes frozen over. It shares this nature with the holiday event town of [[MapleStory/Towns/Happyville|Happyville]]. Upon exiting the first floor, the player's HP immediately begins to decrease by 10 every 5 seconds. This is a unique feature of El Nath. On every map outside of the main city, players lose HP every 5 seconds as a result of the extreme cold. This can be remedied using Red Bean Soups available in the El Nath potion shop, though it is not an economically viable method.

Traveling right, players come across the El Nath fields, which include Jr. Yetis, their senior and dark forms, Hectors, Pepes, and many other monsters. At the top of a certain map, players reach a dead end unless they are level 50 or above. There is a potion seller at this map, who has taken advantage of his last-stop location by raising prices on these items.

Once inside the level 50 area, players encounter Dark monsters, which have been influenced by the evil emanating from Zakum. Beginning with Dark Yeti, and followed by Dark pepe and the combined Dark Yeti and Pepe. Much more difficult monsters such as Werewolves and Lycanthropes lurk near the end, posing a danger to anyone trying to pass. Zombies, a popular training area, can be found here, though it could potentially be displaced by [[MapleStory/Towns/Mu Lung|Mu Lung]] and [[MapleStory/Towns/Herb Town|Herb Town]].  Beyond the Forest of Dead Trees is the entrance to an Abandoned Mine complex.

Deeper within the level 50 area is the Dungeon, featuring some of the most difficult monsters on the Orbis subcontinent, such as Cerebes and Bains. El Nath's Dead Mines have some of the stronger monsters, and before the release of [[MapleStory/Towns/Ludibrium|Ludibrium]], it was a preferred training spot. Now, most higher levels have moved on to [[MapleStory/Towns/Leafre|Leafre]]. In the first four rooms of the mine are Miner Zombies, the undead remnants of fallen Miners who worked the mines. At the end of the Dungeon is the Zakum Party Quest area, again only available to 50+ characters. After completing the Zakum Party Quest, players may fight Zakum, the leader of the "big three" bosses, and (arguably) the toughest monster in the game except for the Horn Tail boss and Grandpa.
