The Shiverpeak Arena is one of the maps in rotation in Random and Team Arenas and also the map accessible through Yak's Bend as an arena for levels 1 to 15.

Description

Players start on opposing sides of the map. The main geographical feature is a low lying frozen stream of ice that runs through the center of the arena with high cliffs overlooking both ends.

Objective

Annihilation: To be victorious, at least one player on your team has to be alive after he has killed the last opponent.

Common Tactics/Tips

• The ice will slow players down if they stop on it, so knockdowns are very effective.
• The slope and cliffs can be used to gain a height advantage when using a bow.

Notes

• Elite skills are not allowed in the low-level version of this arena.
• A redecorated version of this arena is host to the Dwayna Vs Grenth snowball fight during Wintersday festivities.
• Shiverpeak Arena is commonly referred to as "SA."
• Although it says the levels are 1-15, players can get up to level 16+ if they level up inside the arena.

Anomaly.

This is the only non-priest Deathmatch arena to give a twelve minute time limit instead of eight.
