Do You Even Lift, Hero?
You rub your hands together in preparation for a test of raw strength. It's like those hammer things and the fair, except the hammer is your fists and instead of a strength-o-meter, it's just a stack of giant blocks of ice. So, really, exactly the same.

If you ?:

You haul at the blocks with clearly superhuman strength, clearing the way for your future progress.

  • Lifts 2 blocks
Otherwise:

You haul and haul and haul at the blocks. They don't move that much, but they're probably at least a little out of alignment.

Catchy Beeping
You charge through the falling blocks to the tune of Korobeiniki. Just need to get past those blocks...

It turns out your gigantic cybernetic hand is powerful enough to crush some of the ice, but you still take X damage from the weight and Y damage from the chill.
