Mastering the Everlasting Treat
If you are a regular traveler in the chaotic elevator, you have likely encountered the regretevator ice cream, also known in-game as the "Everlasting Ice Cream." This unique tool is more than just a snack; it is a versatile utility item that can provide essential healing for both you and your fellow elevator occupants. Understanding how to acquire and manage your regretevator ice cream is crucial for any player looking to optimize their survival and social interactions during their rounds. Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned veteran, this guide will break down everything you need to know about this floor-exclusive item.
How to Acquire Your Ice Cream
The item is primarily found on the HC Icecream floor, but there are multiple ways to secure one depending on your current progress and luck. While it can be purchased for 70 coins, players often prefer the challenge-based method of obtaining it for free.
Acquisition Methods
| Method | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase at HC Icecream | 70 Coins | Standard way to start with one scoop. |
| Complete Minefield | Free | Grants an immediate upgrade to two scoops. |
| Dispenser Upgrade | 100 Coins | Extra scoops can be purchased to increase healing power. |
Community reports suggest that the Minefield floor is the most efficient way to boost your scoop count early in a session. By successfully navigating the hazards and reaching the winner's area, you effectively upgrade your item, allowing for more powerful healing interactions.
Managing the Brain Freeze Effect
While the item is an excellent healing tool, it comes with a trade-off. Every time you consume a scoop, you gain a stack of "Brain Freeze." This status effect slows your movement speed, making you more vulnerable to obstacles.
The Mechanics of Healing and Debuffs
- Healing: Each scoop restores 1 HP to the player.
- Movement Penalty: Higher stacks of Brain Freeze result in greater movement speed reductions.
- Cooldown Scaling: The cooldown for using the tool increases based on the number of scoops you possess.
The formula for the cooldown is calculated as y = 1 + 0.0511111x, where 'x' represents the number of scoops. As you add more scoops, the time between uses grows, so it is important to balance your desire for massive healing with the need for mobility.
Interacting with Elevator NPCs
One of the most interesting aspects of this item is the ability to share it with NPCs. This mechanic has evolved over several updates, and current player experience dictates that it is a great way to build rapport or simply use up extra charges.
NPC Interaction Rules
| NPC Status | Interaction Outcome |
|---|---|
| Compatible NPCs | Heals for the number of scoops; removes one scoop. |
| Incompatible NPCs | Interaction is disabled (e.g., Bive, Folly, Lampert). |
| Empty Cone | Interaction provides no healing effect. |
Not every character in the elevator is a fan of a cold treat. NPCs like Bive, DrRETRO, and Folly are among those who will not accept the gift. Always ensure you are interacting with a compatible character to avoid wasting your precious inventory item.
Trivia and Historical Context
The evolution of the ice cream item has been a journey through various game patches. From its early days of sharing animations with the Jerm Pop to its current, unique, and silent interaction, it has become a staple of the game's item library.
Key Historical Milestones
- Initial Design: Originally shared animations with other tools before receiving a unique update.
- The "Silent" Bug: A previous patch introduced a unique animation but accidentally removed the iconic "lick" sound effect.
- The Scoop Limit: While a cap of 40 scoops was once enforced to prevent coin farming, the developers removed this limit as of July 2025, allowing for potentially massive, albeit slow, healing tools.

Strategic Tips for Success
To get the most out of your inventory, consider these pro tips that players have shared over the months:
- Prioritize Minefield: Since it grants a free upgrade, always prioritize clearing the Minefield floor if you already have the ice cream in your inventory.
- Manage Your Color: Remember that streak saving does not preserve the color of your scoops. If you rejoin the server, your ice cream will reset to a standard strawberry pink.
- Watch the Cooldown: If you are in a high-intensity floor, do not stack your ice cream too high. The increased cooldown can prevent you from using other essential items in a pinch.
- Dispenser Usage: If you have extra coins, always look for the ice cream truck dispenser to boost your healing capacity before a difficult floor.
FAQ
Does the Regretevator ice cream heal me automatically?
No, it does not. You must manually interact with the item in your inventory to consume a scoop. Doing so will restore 1 HP per scoop but will also apply the Brain Freeze movement penalty.
Can I give ice cream to every NPC I meet?
No. Most NPCs will accept the treat, but characters such as Bive, DrRETRO, Folly, Lampert, Reddy, Spud!, STAT, Melanie, and Unpleasant will refuse it.
Why does my ice cream move slower when I have more scoops?
This is a core mechanic of the item. The more scoops you have, the higher your Brain Freeze stacks become, which directly impacts your movement speed and increases the item's cooldown.
Is there a limit to how many scoops I can have?
As of the July 5, 2025 update, the previous cap of 40 scoops has been removed. You can now theoretically stack as many as you can acquire, though you should keep the movement penalty in mind!
