Talk:Cold as Ice

Warrior Strategies
Precast Balthazar's. Wait for him to come down. Activate glads as soon as he finishes his first spirit. Knock him down when Glad's is running out and follow it with OYK to reactivate glads. Alternate between Riposte and Deadly Riposte, keeping Glad's up at all times. Use Healing Signet if you need health but only when you have Glad's on. Disrupt his Shadowsong so you can always gain adrenaline. ~  Gold  Dean   - 20:44, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Bug
The Griffon sometimes gets trapped between trees and other objects (including his spirits). Making this quest very easy for casters.
 * Meh forgot to sign--Spider osiris 08:25, 26 August 2007 (CDT)


 * With patient, I took advantage of the bug, it took my like 20 minutes but I manage to stuck him and I stood behind a hill to cover from the annoying spirits, casting fire as much as I could, specially burning him to death.--66.98.85.41 22:34, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Monk
How to do this with monk? 88.115.243.115 08:38, 26 August 2007 (CDT)Force


 * Go with a 600 hp Spirit Bond build and use a PBAoE build (Flame Burst, Inferno, Star Burst) or Sliver Armor.

doesn't matter the profession just have a Rt. weather it is Rt primary or secondary. all you need is the elite skill consume soul. i did it with my warr; it worked well.

He doesent attack enough :( i didnt get any heal from spirit bond and died. with rit he hit me too much88.115.243.115 13:09, 26 August 2007 (CDT)Force

NvM.. got it... used Mo/Me degen... cast and run 88.115.243.115 13:27, 26 August 2007 (CDT)Force


 * Also, as with the tournament, spirit spamming works very well against him. Especially Wanderlust, as it'll kock him down, interrupting most of his rituals. —[ Adul ] 18:03, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Necro
Fyi, the 55 Boss Farmer (SV build) works very well. Just back away from the spitits if your health drops too fast. Ichimaru 20:34 (CET) 26 August 2007

I had good luck with a death/curses build - rotting flesh, putrid bile, vile miasma, grenth's balance, toxicity, "you move like a dwarf", power drain, and signet of lost souls Xylia 06:01, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

Paragon's Nightmater
I tried all the build with paragon but it just wont work, Ebon Dust, Burnin refrain + long bow, Crippling etc Kullwarrior


 * Try this: Longbw + Apply Poison. Shoot and run, eventually he'll lock himself up. Then whittle away at his health, keeping your own health up against a random spirit-attack. Should be no problem once he's locked :) Can be done with ANY proff, btw --84.24.206.123 04:27, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Glitches fixed? Verifiers needed
I just heard from an alliance mate that the griffon no longer glitches in corners. I can't confirm it myself just now because I only have one char in EotN so far, but others who are at this point can please verify and confirm. I'll leave the bug notice in for now.

I made it a few minutes ago, he get stuck in the decor. So there is still a bug.

He just glitched for me Mundungus 13:44, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Universal Any/R build
I managed to come up with an effective build that only requires a ranger secondary. It should work for all professions as long as you don't spam skills.

Shoot from the hills along the side to increase your range and damage. Simply use a Longbow to keep out of range of the spirits and keep the Griffon poisoned. Always Interrupt Shadowsong to be safe, though it's not a big deal if you don't.

The build uses all core or EotN skills. Only Apply Poison has to be purchased. An alternaterative to "I Am The Strongest!" is "You Move Like a Dwarf!". --Curse You 15:40, 4 September 2007 (CDT)


 * I'm not having any luck at all with this. The Griffon just keeps running around like a frikkin maniac unless I let it close to melee with me, and Troll Unguent isn't enough to keep me alive in that scenario.  There's no way I can get it below 50% health.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 22:29, 16 September 2007 (CDT)


 * You need a longbow. Troll Unguent isn't for out-healing damage, it's for healing if you get too close to the spirits (after you run out of their range). It doesn't matter how much the Griffon runs around, as long as you keep it poisoned. --Curse You 19:13, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

A similar strategy worked very well for my warrior. I used Poison Tip Signet rather than Apply Poison to save energy, along with a poisonous flatbow. I used Healing Signet instead of Troll Unguent, though I didn't need much healing, just a little patience. Drunken Master boosted my speed and attack rate. I cast Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support to annoy him when he didn't want to come out to play. My Deldrimor and Vanguard ranks were both 3. This worked on the first try. Thank you for posting this idea.

I used Grenith's Balance, took him down with no trouble and minimal effort. 70.119.163.67 04:04, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

Assassin Strategies
Even if Sins don't get any problem with that kind of quests, I write here a build to use.
