The Mount Fay is a treacherous landscape full of icy spikes that can end your adventure easily. There is also an environmental hazard, as chilly winds blowing in the mountains can kill Hornet easily.

Make sure to use your abilities of dash, jump, wall jumps, and move quickly. You will also have to grapple off enemies and pogo jump in Silksong. Certain walls will collapse in a few moments when you come in contact with them, so make sure to be agile.

Look out for lamps in the various places to ward off the cold wind, which will cause damage over time. Tools such as Ascendant's Grip will come in handy if you are running low on masks and want to heal.

You can find a set of caverns once you are done with the climb, where you will find various enemies. There will also be a bench where you will need to spend Rosaries to unlock it and rest. You will have to climb a bit more till you come across a fake wall, breaking which will reveal another bench. Past these, the path will be quite difficult, as one wrong step will take you all the way down.
