Fiend in the Frozen Forest Guide
Gather Intel
Travel to the Skyward Tavern in Altabury Heights and speak with the Informed Woman to purchase the “Ice Beast of Everfrost Forest” intel.
The informant will then tell you that ice attacks are ineffective against monsters in the forest and that fire attacks work well against them. They will also cast magic to repel magic, so make sure to defeat them before they can set up their defenses.
Also, if enemies protect themselves against fire, you’ll want to use attacks that are not constrained by an affinity. There also appears to be a person stalking the area, so keep an eye out for them.
Travel to Everfrost Forest
When you’re ready to set out, travel to the Gauntlet Runner and use the round table to travel to Everfrost Forest, northeast of Altabury Heights.
Explore Everfrost Forest
In the forest, you’ll need to defeat 5 of the 6 marked enemies on the map to lure out the beast. You can check out our Everfrost Forest walkthrough for more information on the enemies and items that can be found there.
Boss Fight – Icebeast Chimenzahn and Montarian Spear Solider
This boss fight has you facing a Level 56 Icebeast Chimezahn, accompanied by a Level 54 Montarian Spear Solider.
The beast is weak to fire and wind attacks, while the soldier is weak to strike. The soldier casts magic on the beast, repelling a single magic attack back at the caster. He also will remove your buffs. While he’s doing that, the beast will max out its attack and defense on the first turn and then assault the party using a combination of Ice AOE and slash attacks. Additionally, it has the ability to lower the party’s attack as well.
You’ll want to ignore the beast while focusing on the soldier. Once he falls, the last thing he will do is fully heal the beast. After he’s gone, you can focus on hitting the Chimenzahn with fire and wind attacks.
After they have both been defeated, a cutscene will play out, and you’ll receive the Frostpoint Horn.
Deliver the Trophy
Take the Frostpoint Horn back to the Recruitment Centre to complete the quest.
Rewards
For completing this quest, you’ll receive an increase to the Courage Royal Attribute and 120,000 reeve.
