Hot and Cold are twin islands of the
Second Sea, shaped like commas that interlock to draw a yin-yang, separated by a river. One icy side with its huge laboratory, one volcanic side drowned in lava where the
Smoke Admiral's cathedral stands. It's a mandatory passage zone between Lv. 1100 and Lv. 1250: four enemies to farm, one boss,
Order raids and the purchase of the
Cyborg race. Local reputation: grinding there is painful, enemies being very scattered, very striking and full of long stuns.
How to get it
In Second Sea, south of
Green Zone, between
Snow Mountain and
Cursed Ship. Intended for Lv. 1100 to 1250, even though the highest enemy on site, the
Lava Pirate, caps at Lv. 1200. Island music: Acoustic Traveller a.
What do the two sides look like
The cold side is a frozen tundra, pale and bluish, covered in snow and ice. At its center stands a large laboratory with multiple floors topped with a glass globe, with an extension on each side and a long annex that runs to the tip of the island. A small village occupies the right part.
The hot side looks like a hell crossed by lava flows. On the central height, Smoke Admiral waits in a black cathedral with red stained glass, surrounded by a pool of lava and curved arrows. A volcano frames the cathedral on each side. The left volcano is connected to a hill by a metal arch equipped with a bucket that pours lava. A large village spreads to the right of the cathedral, cut in two sectors by an arch: its front part houses the
NPCs of fighting styles from the
First Sea.

The Laboratory code
When you enter the laboratory, you come across four large panels. Clicking on one of them changes the color of the screen. You must compose the sequence red, blue, green, blue (🟥🟦🟩🟦) to open the door behind the panels: it leads to a steeply sloped passage that goes down to the raid room, where you can join or host a raid.
Two details that save time:
- Keep your hands empty, otherwise clicks on the panels won't register.
- Once in the room, grab the 2 Golden Chests and the
Silver Chest located there.
Order and Cyborg race
- The Order raid chips are purchased from Arlthmetic, in the vault accessible through the half-open door behind the cathedral.
- Between the arch and the hill on the hot side, a hidden room allows you to host Order raids and purchase the Cyborg race.
Good to know
- The Barista Cousin can appear next to the Smoke Admiral's castle.
- Players who have the
Portal fruit can teleport directly into the lava on the hot side: the island is famous for that. - There is a small area on the lava bucket on the hot side where the lava does no damage to you.
- Known bug: if you spawn a boat bigger than the
Brigade at the Boat Dealer spawn on the ice side, it gets stuck. - An unused room containing a Golden Chest is located near the Horned Warriors: it is only accessible by flashstep. The Fandom assumes this is an abandoned dungeon idea.
- Grinding on site has a bad reputation: very spaced out enemies, particularly the Magma Ninjas, high damage and long stuns.
- History: the island came out with Update 10 and was completely remade in
Update 29.
