The Lord of Ice was hiding in its center, he planned to organize a giant snow storm, the characters were warned about this by a timer that appeared on all televisions in the Fortnite world. As soon as the timer was reset, there was an event with marshmallows, according to the recollections of the players, one of the best music events in Fortnite. The lord of ice destroyed the ball that bound him, and occupied the island with the help of an army of ice monsters.
