The Beast in the Ice Boss Fight Guide
As the name suggests, the boss deals a lot of cold damage, so increasing cold resistance decreases the damage. Just like other bosses, the Beast in the Ice also has a stagger bar. The boss will be stunned for a few seconds after filling the stagger bar, so unleash all the powerful moves without any worries. Additionally, these are some special attacks players need to look out for:
- Frozen Strike: Each time the boss slashes with his sword, a number of ice crystals are thrown. These crystals release smaller ice spikes.
- Icy Breath: This attack works just like Frozen Strike. This time the boss exhales multiple ice crystals that release ice spikes.
- Frostquake: The beast slams his sword on the ground creating several ice pools. Stay clear of these pools to avoid damage.
- Leap Attack: The boss leaps into the air, and as he slams the ground, multiple ice crystals and ice spikes attack the player.
- Icy Hail: During this attack, the boss puts his blade into the ground, and 4 explosives made of ice attack the player. Moreover, these explosives release icy waves, so make sure to dodge them to minimize the damage.
- Summon: The beast will summon two elite enemies at 30% health. Defeat these enemies quickly and stay away from the boss’ attacks.
The Beast in the Ice has a lot of different icy attacks, and it might take a while to learn his patterns. This fight is all about timing and correct usage of abilities.
