Frostbarrow

This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (73), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 1,240 damage, a hazard 1,085 damage, its signature failed 1,704 damage, burning ground 372 damage a second. More levels and better gear mean more health, so the same hit takes a smaller part of it. Armour, shields and barriers turn aside at most 20% of it.

It shouts: "The niches open! The dead rise!" 1/2/3 Draugr (level 72) come and attack the boss's target.

WhenAt 75%, 50% and 25% of its health, once each.

TipCut down the newcomers first: whoever holds the boss keeps holding it, the others turn on the helpers. Use your area skills here.

A strip 1.8 tiles wide and 14 tiles long at the farthest of you, marked 1.6 s ahead: 2 × a normal blow; 1.5 s later it comes back down the same strip (1.5 ×).

When9 s into the fight, then every 14 s.

EnragedEvery 10 s.

TipStep 0.9 tiles to the side, and stay out until it comes back.

A wall walks across the hall at 2.5 tiles a second with 1 gap(s) 3 tiles wide, marked 2 s ahead: 2.2 × a normal blow to whoever it passes. It throws you 3 tiles back. From 4 players two walls come one after the other.

WhenFrom 50% health, every 40 s.

TipWalk to a gap before it reaches you.

Every 2.3 s the one holding him takes a stack of Broken Armour (4% more damage a stack). Whoever stands 1 s in a lit challenge ring takes him over: the last one's stacks fall off and that ring goes out for 8 s. Alone, a ring clears your own stacks.

WhenThe whole fight.

TipTake turns holding him: the second holder waits by a ring.

A 90° cone 4.3 tiles long at the one holding him, marked 2.5 s ahead: 1,704 damage to whoever it reaches, and their stacks of Broken Armour add to it. Taken over from a ring during the wind-up, the cleave is wasted and he reels 2 s.

When6 s into the fight, then every 12 s.

EnragedEvery 9 s.

TipWhen the rings glow, take him from one.

Every 20 s he calls the one who hit him hardest into the ring: they are his target for 5 s. A ring taken within 1.5 s of the call answers it.

WhenAt 25% health.

It flushes red and rages: its normal blows come 1.3× as often, and all its blows are 15% harder.

TipThe last part is the most dangerous: save your strong skills and potions for it, and dodging the marks matters more than ever.

This boss's marks deal a fixed amount set for its level (74), in place of the blow multiples below: a move you could dodge 1,270 damage, a hazard 1,111 damage, its signature failed 1,746 damage, burning ground 381 damage a second.

Each sister's weapon is her move: Sigrun's spear, Brynja's shield (a sister within 5 tiles of its holder takes 50% less; its bash), Eir's horn (the Valkyrie's Call and the horn's rain). A fallen sister's weapons go to the sister nearest her body, who hits 15% harder for each. Two falls within 8 s break the first one's weapons.

WhenWhen a sister falls.

TipChoose who falls first and bring the heir you want close; keep Brynja apart; bring two down together.

When9 s into the fight, then every 18 s.

EnragedEvery 13 s.

TipKeep one skill ready: any skill that lands on it breaks the spell. Basic attacks don't.

WhenWhen a sister falls.

It marks a circle under each of its nearest foes (1/2/3 for 1, 2–3 and 4–5 players; radius 2.3 tiles); 1.6 s later all of them strike at once, 1.5 × a normal blow to whoever is inside. It calls out: "The crown's shards!"

When7 s into the fight, then every 13 s.

EnragedEvery 9 s.

TipStep out of your own circle, not into a neighbour's: keep a little apart.

A wall walks across the hall at 2.5 tiles a second with 2 gap(s) 3 tiles wide, marked 2 s ahead: 1.8 × a normal blow to whoever it passes. 2 stack(s) of Frost. It melts within 3 tiles of a fire.

When9 s into the fight, then every 25 s.

TipWalk to a gap before it reaches you.

Four grave fires burn down (1 a second); out, a fire thaws no Frost and the winter wave does not melt there. His rime breath takes 40 from the burning fire nearest him every 25 s. A creature killed within 3 tiles of a fire feeds it 40 and it flares: 2 Frost off everyone within 5 tiles, and a slice of his crown melts.

WhenThe whole fight.

TipPull his dead to the fire that needs it and kill them there.

Draugr (1/2/2) rise from the niches, at most 6 standing.

When8 s into the fight, then every 15 s.

4 slices: while one stands, every blow on him loses 50%. The last slice melted, blows count 40% more for 8 s; 20 s after it melted, it freezes whole again.

WhenThe whole fight.

TipMelt the last slice when your big skills are ready.

He sits out of reach for 20 s; every fire loses 30 and 3 waves of dead walk. Then Winter's Breath: everyone loses 10% of their health, and 15% more for every fire out.

WhenAt 50% health.

TipKeep every fire burning through the throne.

Farther than 5 tiles from a fire you gain a stack of Frost every 6 s.

WhenAs said.

TipFive stacks freeze you: thaw by a fire, or be cleansed.
