Boss Fight: Frozen Hearted Predator
This fight is conducted primarily in the ATAG. The Frozen Hearted Predator is a massive quadrupedal beast encased in ice armor with a glowing Abyss core visible in its chest. The fight takes place on a frozen plain.
Phase 1: Breaking the Ice Armor
The creature's body is encased in ice that absorbs damage. Use the cannon to crack the armor plates on its flanks and back.
The machine gun is ineffective against the ice. Switch to cannon and ram for armor-breaking damage.
The creature charges in straight lines and follows up with an ice breath cone attack. Strafe to the side to avoid both.
Phase 2: Exposed Core
Once enough ice armor is destroyed, the Abyss core in its chest becomes visible. Target the core with the machine gun for sustained damage.
The creature becomes more aggressive, using area ice explosions centered on its body. Use EMP to briefly stun it and create safe attack windows.
Ram attacks deal bonus damage to the exposed core. Line up a ram when the creature pauses after an ice explosion.
Enrage Phase (Below 25% Health)
The creature enters an enrage state, attacking faster and using a new move: a full-arena ice wave that can only be avoided by ramming through it.
Unload all weapons during the brief pauses between its frenzied attacks. The cannon and ram combination is the fastest way to finish it off.

Tips
Focus cannon fire on the ice armor first. Trying to damage the core through intact armor is nearly useless.
The ice breath attack has a long windup. When you see the creature inhale, strafe hard to one side.
During the enrage phase, do not try to play defensively. The creature's attacks are too fast. Stay aggressive and use ram to both deal damage and dodge simultaneously.
After the fight, the unique crafting materials dropped here are used at the Gorthak Ironworks for some of the best equipment in the game.
