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.

Rewards

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.
