Strategy:
- Phase 1: Icy Embrace: The Snow Queen uses powerful Ice attacks and summons ice shards. Dodge constantly and use Phantom Dash points to avoid damage and deal counter-attacks. Focus on hitting her with Fire and Bless skills. When she creates an ice shield, break it with strong attacks to continue dealing damage.
- Phase 2: Frozen Fury: She becomes more aggressive and summons powerful ice elementals. She will frequently create a large ice dome around herself, making her invulnerable. You must destroy the glowing ice pillars around the arena (usually 3-4) to break the dome and expose her. Continue to exploit her weaknesses when exposed and use Showtime. Her ultimate attack is a massive ice explosion; try to get behind cover or use a powerful Showtime to interrupt it. Keep your party's HP high and manage your SP.
Rewards: Mariko's Desire, various items.
