==Overview==
{{Quote2|Your body temperature was too low for too long. You will weaken until you stay above freezing for 24 hours.|In-game description}}If the player stays out in the freezing cold for too long, and their [[Clothing]] is not sufficiently warm enough to keep their [[Feels Like]] temperature above 0°, their [[Warmth]] [[Needs]] will drop. Once Warmth hits zero and reaches "Freezing", the [[Hypothermia Risk]] will appear. Should a player continue to freeze in this state, they may begin to suffer from Hypothermia.

* If Hypothermia Risk reaches 100%, the player will suffer from Hypothermia.
* Hypothermia is acquired instantly if a player falls through [[Weak Ice]].

== Affliction ==
Once manifested Hypothermia doubles the [[Condition]] loss from freezing, from 20% to 40% loss per hour, and causes [[Fatigue]] to drain at double the normal rate. The time to recover from Hypothermia is based on the experience mode: 6 hours for Pilgrim, 12 for Voyageur, 18 for Stalker and 24 for Interloper. Remaining recovery time is shown on the Status menu.
==Tips==

*The treatment for Hypothermia and Hypothermia Risk is keeping Warmth above freezing until the affliction heals. Should the player start freezing while recovering from Hypothermia, the recovery time will reset.
*[[Warming Up|Hot]] food or drinks and [[Campfire|campfires]] can help stay above freezing, even when outdoors.
*Freezing, even without Hypothermia, is by far the deadliest [[Needs|Need]] (Freezing: 20% Condition loss per hour (40% with Hypothermia), Thirst: 2% per hour, Hunger/Fatigue 1% per hour).
