Struggling with the snowy depth

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/14841323

Hey,

Like the title says, I don't really know how to approach this biome. I know how to build wands (at least, I know most of the stuff from the wiki) I had some "god runs". I always some kind of objectives for the first parts of the game:

• getting water
• getting a decent amount of gold before next biome
• going to mushroom biome if I lack power before next portal
• move down when low hp

But when I reach the snow depths, I always find myself lost. Should I go up using the mineshaft? Should I run to the next biome? Should I farm gold on the enemies?

The next ones I generally know how to deal with them but snow depth feels like a coin toss for me.
