After a few narrow escapes, I finally made it to Anya's platform. Frozenstein's horde sensed me before I could get a Dim Vision on it, so the frozen abysses came down from the platform (which lies just offscreen to the upper right in this screenshot) and crossed the bridge. I cast a couple of bone prisons on the ledge across the river from me to try to keep them busy. Most of all, I wanted to give Frozenstein himself something to keep him busy. With judicious use of Dim Vision and Terror, I hoped I could make a narrow path through the frozen abyss minions and sneak across the bridge to Anya.
However, something big must've gone wrong. I don't remember specifically what, but whatever it was, it was something so fast that I couldn't take the opportunity to take a screenshot. The next screenshot I have is one of me running like crazy down to the bottom corner with some claw vipers and sirens hot on my tail. I have a vague recollection that while I was busy trying to deal with Frozenstein and his minions, I didn't cast Dim Vision enough or cover enough of the off screen area with it and I ended up getting shot at from all directions.
Also, this guy might've had something to do with it.
I recollected myself down in this corner and managed to ditch the gloam boss here. However, when I returned northward, there were so many monsters gathered up there that passage was impossible. The next screenshot is one of me in town, at 25% health, with no health potions. I exited and restarted the game.
