How to Beat Frostfang Guardian

Defeat Jotunnslayer's Frostfang Guardian by exploiting its fire weakness and breaking its Frost Armor with heavy attacks.

The Frostfang Guardian is your first major boss encounter, serving as a test of your basic combat skills. It's a large, ice-elemental beast found in the Frostfang Caves.

Phases:

1. Phase 1 (100% - 50% Health): The Guardian primarily uses a three-hit claw combo (slow, predictable) and a frontal ice breath attack. It also has a 'Ground Slam' that creates a small AoE ice patch.
2. Phase 2 (50% - 0% Health): The Guardian becomes more aggressive. It adds a 'Leap Attack' that covers a long distance and a 'Summon Frost Spiders' ability, bringing in 2-3 Frost Spiders.

Weaknesses:

• Fire Damage: Highly vulnerable to fire-based attacks and enchantments.
• Physical Damage: Moderate vulnerability, especially to heavy attacks that can break its 'Frost Armor'.

Strategy:

• Dodge the Claw Combo: The Guardian's claw attacks are slow; dodge through them to get behind it and land a few hits.
• Avoid Ice Breath: When it rears its head, move to its side to avoid the ice breath. This is a good window for sustained damage.
• Break Frost Armor: Use heavy attacks to quickly deplete its 'Frost Armor' bar, temporarily stunning it and increasing incoming damage.
• Prioritize Frost Spiders: In Phase 2, quickly eliminate the summoned Frost Spiders with AoE abilities or quick attacks, as they can overwhelm you.
• Conserve Stamina: Dodging is key. Don't over-commit to attacks if it means running out of stamina for a crucial dodge.
