The early and mid-game of V Rising primarily has you killing off various Human bosses, as they seek to control your former lands. As you grow in power, however, you will begin to encounter more of the powerful monsters the game has to offer. Frostmaw The Mountain Terror is a difficult challenge that presents a serious threat to underprepared vampires.

Frostmaw is only one of two V Blood carriers that you can find wandering the Hallowed Mountains. This guide will instruct you where to find Frostmaw The Mountain Terror, the best strategy for fighting him, and what you will be rewarded with, should you manage to beat him.

Updated June 13, 2024 by Jacqueline Zalace: Frostmaw the Mountain Terror is a deadly boss in V Rising that can freeze you to death if you aren't careful. With the 1.0 launch of V Rising, we've updated this guide to have all the current information about finding this boss. Additionally, we've provided a few helpful tips to get the job done.

Frostmaw The Mountain Terror Location

Frostmaw The Mountain Terror is a level 53 boss that can be found patrolling the main road in the Hallowed Mountains region. You may never have traveled to this place prior to seeking him out, as there are no earlier bosses or unique resources that will have compelled you to come here.

It is a snowy wasteland with a small variety of resources and enemies. Wolves and Bears roam around, and there is even a Stone Golem that Frostmaw will regularly engage in battle. He will defeat it pretty handily, but it can be a good opportunity to take a slightly easier fight.

There are no real enemies you need to take care of before engaging Frostmaw, just make sure you have a bit of space to run around in, as you will need to dodge some big abilities. There is a Vampire Waygate very close to his route, so you can teleport over and engage him very quickly.

What To Bring To The Fight

As with any battle against a V Blood carrier, you should bring your strongest weapon and armor, as well as a supply of potions. These potions should boost HP and spell/physical damage.

In terms of blood, you can go for Scholar type. This blood type boosts spell power, making it great for long-ranged spells. As you will see later, ranging attacks are the best way to take down Frostmaw, so boosting their power is a great idea.

Spell Set Up

This fight is tough, and you will probably want to change your spell set up for him. Chaos Volley should be kept for damage (as well as other projectile-producing spells), but bringing a shield spell such as Ward of the Damned will be very handy, as it can allow you to completely nullify some attacks and generate some chip damage through the spawned minions.

In terms of a dash spell, we suggest Veil of Chaos. All dash skills are pretty equal, but this is the only one that can be triggered two times. This is ideal if you want to make a quick getaway.

How To Defeat Frostmaw The Mountain Terror

Frostmaw The Mountain Terror is considered a tough fight, especially due to his annoying ability to freeze you. He has some very impactful abilities that you should be aware of, and he also possesses a high health pool.

Frostmaw deals heavy melee damage; he will use a ground slam attack that creates waves of ice around the epicenter. Using your Travel Ability should be enough to get you out of range, but like most of his abilities, it comes out quickly, so stay on your toes. Playing at range is the name of the game for Frostmaw, and you need to be cautious should you approach in melee.

Frostmaw has another slam that will send you flying backward upon contact. This can actually work in your favor, as you want to be at range anyway, although he will sometimes perform adash prior to this, which can make your job of being away from him even more difficult. He moves quickly, and the large number of Freezes can mean he will catch up to you very quickly.

Frostmaw's Ultimate attack is to turn the immediate area into a raging blizzard, obscuring your vision. He will then proceed to run around, summoningIce Spikes from the floor in random locations. There will be multiple up at any one time, and they will Freeze you upon contact.

He will continue to use a couple of his basic melee swings, but will otherwise attempt to hide at the edge of the blizzard. The safest option is to try andkite, as the increased boss movement can make him hard to hit with skill shots, and you should try to focus on dodging the Ice Spikes above all else.

Upon exiting the blizzard and during low health percentages, Frostmaw will perform a frontal Ice Beam that sweeps around from his left to right in a 180-degree arc. Again, this will Freezeyou on contact, so try to get behind the boss as quickly as possible, so you can both dodge and get some free damage in.
