Diablo 4 offers a whole horde of monsters that can make the strongest warriors lose hope. Few warriors can brave the threats, face the monsters, and triumph.
The Beast in Ice is a formidable foe players must face in Diablo 4. The Beast in Ice has been removed from the Nightmare Dungeon and turned into a Pinnacle Boss. Who can face this Nightmare?
1. How to defeat the Beast in Ice in Diablo 4?
To defeat the Beast in Ice Boss in Diablo 4-
- Maximize character Cold Resistance and Armor to mitigate damage.
- Keep moving as the Beast slashes its icy blade.
- Watch out for the wind phase that traps players in a small circle.
- At each quarter of its HP, the Beast triggers an invulnerability phase. Hide in the gaps during this phase to avoid damage.
- The Beast crashes down at regular intervals; use high-DPS abilities to deal the maximum damage at that time.
The Beast in Ice might be a difficult opponent, but half the battle is won with preparation. Especially if you have a grasp of the phases of the Boss, you can easily defeat this ex-Nightmare Boss.
2. The Strategy to Defeat the Beast in the Ice
2.1. Have maxed Cold Resistance and Armor
The Beast in the Ice is a massive opponent that players face. The humongous opponent wields an icy blade, dealing Cold damage to you.
It would be best to try to cap your Cold Resistance and Armor before you battle the Beast. Otherwise, you will get frozen and torn apart before the Beast is warmed up.
2.2. Avoid the Wind Cage
As soon as the fight starts, the Beast in the Ice will attack the players and use a unique event. This attack leads to the player being trapped in a ‘wind cage’. It is a small cage in which you will be restricted while the Beast strikes you.
The way to avoid this is when you see the Beast raising a commotion by controlling the winds, dodge immediately and get away. It is because the area you are in will become a trap vortex.
2.3. Phase Invulnerability
The boss has invulnerability phases at the end of each quarter of health drained. At this time, all player attacks will not damage the Beast.
At this time, players should ready the arsenal of their strongest spells and hide in the gaps between the ice lines that the Boss attacks from the air.
Standing in the gaps will let you escape unscathed. Especially when dealing with the Tormented-level Beast, taking a hit will give you a massive debuff that increases the damage you take.
2.4. The Time to Strike
As always, there is no perfect attack, and each Boss has their weakness. After the aerial ice outburst attack, the Beast falls to the ground, motionless.
This is the moment that you were saving all your attacks for. Use the long cooldown Burst attacks and the continuous damage attacks to get the Beast beyond the next quarter. This will let you avoid another invulnerability phase.
With this strategy, you can farm the once-difficult Boss easily and obtain unique items from him.
3. Where to find the Beast in the Ice?
The Beast in the Ice can be found in the Glacial Fissure dungeon, located south of Kyovashad in the Fractured Peaks.
4. What is the Summoning cost for the Beast in the Ice?
To summon the Beast, the necessary items are-
- Normal Difficulty: 9 Distilled Fear
- Tormented Difficulty: 1 Stygian Stone, 27 Distilled Fear
5. What are the drops of the Beast in the Ice?
Defeating the Beast in the Ice is glorious, but the rewards are nothing to scoff at:
- Class-Specific Uniques: Each class can receive specific Unique items upon defeating the Beast.
- Mythic Unique Drops: The Beast has a 1.5% chance to drop a Mythic Unique item on the Tormented difficulty. There are five opportunities per kill, letting you farm equipment easily.
