How to beat Yeti Chieftain
The Yeti Chieftain is a brawler that turns into an avalanche once it is hurt. It arrives at 5:00 on Frozen Wastes.
In the first phase, Chieftain of the Peaks, its Stomp draws a ring around it and sends winding cracks across the ground: leave the ring and stand between the cracks. Boulder Hail throws clusters of snow boulders along lit lanes, so weave between the clusters. Pack Howl calls frost wolves on an arc beside you, so step away from the arc and kill them one by one. Chieftain’s Leap marks its landing circle; get out, then stand in the gap of the ring of icicles it leaves.
Below 50% it enters Avalanche Wrath. Avalanche sends a wall of boulders with a gap, then a second wall from the side, so find each gap in turn. Triple Leap chains jumps that re-aim every time; keep changing direction and use the gap after the last one. Shattered Glacier cracks the ground all around, then throws boulders in every direction.
Keep moving in wide arcs, and kill the wolves quickly so they do not pin you in place.
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 50% health: the boss roars, grows and starts its new attacks.
