Frost Phantom encounter arena
The Frost Phantom is a boss encountered in Midgard. The battle with his opponent takes place during The Word of Fate main quest.
Along the way to the Well of Urd, Kratos and Freya will reach a larger arena (screenshot above). The Frost Phantom itself is burrowed underground but will emerge once the heroes enter the arena.
Boss fight description
Your have to attack the phantom's glowing core. The best weapon for this task are Blades of Chaos, which perform well on medium distances.
You can also command Freya to deal attacks of her own. They are not that powerful, but will help you weaken the boss.
Frost Phantom's strong attacks:
- tail sweep (yellow) - you can parry it or perform a dodge to avoid the tail;
- ground stomp (red) (screenshot above) - quickly move away from the area marked with a blue circle.
Frost Phantom's standard attacks:
- normal tail strikes - block them with the shield;
- generating circles on the ground (screenshot above) - quickly move away from the casting areas.
You need to continue your attacks until a white bar is filled so that the beast is stunned. Once the boss is stunned, attack one of the 2 totems found in the arena (an exemplary totem is shown in the screenshot) Destroy it before the boss is back attacking.
Frost Phantom's new attacks:
- A new normal attack involves sending a shockwave (screenshot above) - block it with the shield as it approaches you.
- A new red attack - a front lunge (make anticipating movements and dodge to a side just before the attack).
To win, repeat the same actions with the glowing core. Once the boss is stunned, destroy the second totem.
To finish up, run up to the stunned Phantom and press R3 to activate an execute scene (if the stun bar isn't filled in full, hit him a few times so that is full).
