After clearing the ice you can use a bonfire ascetic at the Outer Wall bonfire to allow summoning of phantoms. This of course increases the difficulty and respawns Aava but it's worth it as the areas where the Loyce Knights are waiting have some difficult enemies that are best to take on in a group. - Torches will immediately extinguish when the area is under a blizzard.
