Unfortunately, even the Spring of Life has been affected by the Crystal of Water's corruption, and has dried up, leaving only a small amount of the Wakewater available to the heroes. This is not sufficient to thaw out all of Aquaria, and the heroes are forced to instead journey to the Ice Pyramid to free the Crystal of Water from the monster controlling it.
