How to beat Ice Queen
The Ice Queen is a pattern fight: nearly everything is a lane, a ring or a petal, and the answer is almost always to keep moving across it. She arrives at 10:00 on Frozen Wastes.
In Frost Queen, her icicle volleys come from four sides, so run across the lanes rather than along them. Scepter Strike slams the ground and cracks it; stand between the cracks. Ice Guard summons skeletons on an arc, and Ice Mirrors makes illusions that shoot fans of icicles: destroy one or step off its line.
At 66% (Blizzard) she adds Ice Prison, a ring of spikes around you with one gap, followed by a freeze inside it, so leave through the gap. Eye of the Blizzard pulls you in; run across the falling icicles. Snow Bloom throws petals in waves, so stand in the valley between them.
At 33% (Eternal Winter) Permafrost and Shards turns the ground into a checkerboard that bursts square by square: hop onto squares that have just exploded. Mirror Blizzard adds four illusions and a crossfire. Twin Prisons places a second prison where you fled to, so never stand still.
Break the nearest mirror early and keep moving through the gaps.
Reading the telegraphs
- Every attack is telegraphed on the ground before it lands. The color tells you what it does: orange burns, red is a heavy blow, gray slows, dark blue freezes, green poisons, purple is shadow magic.
- Shapes tell you where to stand: a circle is an area, a row of dots or a lane is a line attack, a fan of lanes is a cone, and a ring with a gap means escape through the gap. The fill shows the time left before it hits.
- Plan for the phase change at 66% and 33% health: the boss roars, grows and starts its new attacks.
