A second worm-like enemy awaits Arlo inTails Of Iron 2: Whiskers Of Winter,but despite a different classification, your approach remains the same. White Whiskers is one of the most visually distinct areas in the game thanks to the frozen snow-covered aesthetic, but its two major Beast Hunt enemies share striking similarities.
Whether you choose to tackle Ice Breaker or this side quest first, you’ll learn key information about the major monster threats here. In Holes In The Ice, you’ll continue aiding the White Whiskers of The Warren, after previously clearing out theDarkwing threat during A Whisker AwayandThe Beasts Of White Whiskers.
How To Start Holes In The Ice
After you complete The Beasts of White Whiskersand presumably finish hunting down the frost Death March during theIce Breaker Beast Hunt,you can move on to yet another one, this time centered on anIcewyrm.
Return to the White Whiskers Hunter in The Warrenvillage area of White Whiskers to get the scoop on this new adversary.
As you head out to leave the village through the right gate, a rabbit will appear in a panic, warning you of the deadly Icewyrm outside the walls.
Restock on Whetstonesand any other items or gear you may need to face the Icewyrm.
Your prey is weak against electric and firedamage while using ice and resisting poison, so outfit Arlo accordingly.
How To Defeat The Icewyrm
Once you reach the marker,the Icewyrm will explode from the ground and dive at you,then follow up with a tail slam attack, similar to the frost Death March you faced in the prior Beast Hunt.
Engage it immediately after it slams its tail orkeep to a distance if you have a powerful ranged electric or fire weaponto safely decimate its HP.
Back away whenthe Icewyrmslams its head into the ground– this will causeice spikesto erupt from the ground, whichdamage and freeze Arlo in place.
With a few careful hits, you’llreduce the beast’s HP to 50 percent,at which timeit will fleethe battle and retreat to therightmost area of the map;head that way now.
How To Beat The Icewyrm Phase Two
When you arrive atWhite Whiskers Peaks,take advantage of the merchant near the entrance to restock any supplies you used in the first portion of the battle andrest at the save pointin case things go wrong.
Use the grapple pointto ascend to the upper cliffs and then vault up the cliff side using the wooden scaffolding across from it to climb even higher. Soon, you’ll be face to face with the Icewyrm again.
Avoid the headfirst attacksfrom the Icewyrm (aka Mudwyrm Ice) anddodge behindit when it prepares to unleash the ice spike from the ground again. This attack is telegraphed by aglowing red patchon the floor.
With a few simplerepetitions of this pattern,the Icewyrm will be defeated for good.
