I stopped counting the amount of games that got ruined by Icemaiden's instant death attack...

You weren't intentionally waking Icemaiden up, were you? Her success rate is pretty high so leave her alone or run the heck away from her, unless you're wearing Antifreeze Ring or equipping a powerful (ranged) weapon.

I should stop taking so many risks lol

Whats the key and does the game save?
