Don’t worry, you won’t have to mourn too long because we’ve got all the components and strategies covered. So, let’s dive into the icy depths of adventure!
What Is The Mourning Frost
Imagine a staff that not only lets you cast the powerful Ray of Frost spell but also packs a punch in close combat. That’s the Mourning Frost for you! This quarterstaff will definitely make your enemies tremble in their icy boots.
- In close combat, it deals a standard 1d6 bludgeoning damage, which upgrades to 1d8 when wielded with both hands.
- But wait, there’s more! The Mourning Frost also inflicts an extra 1d4 cold damage, perfect for chilling your foes to the bone.
With the Mourning Frost in hand, you’ll unlock incredible synergy with ice spells, making this quarterstaff shine with an icy sheen. Here are the cool effects it brings to the table:
- The Heart of Ice effect: Strike your enemies with ice spells that cause cold damage, and you’ll get an extra point of cold damage to really freeze things up.
- The Insidious Cold effect: Inflict the Chilled status effect on your opponent. Talk about leaving them cold and shivering!
Where To Find The Mourning Frost Components
Now that you’re eager to wield the power of ice, let’s talk about where to find the components to craft the Mourning Frost. Prepare yourselves to venture into the mysterious depths of the Underdark!
Icy Helve
Location: (X:114, Y:252) At this spot, defeat the Spectator and secure the Icy Helve dropped by Dhourn. Trust us, this will be a chilling encounter. Make sure to rest up and bring your A-game, or you might end up as cold as ice.
Icy Crystal
Location: (X:51, Y:149) Get ready to face Filro the Forgotten and a pack of Hook Horrors during the Adamantine Forge quest. Remember to take out the Hook Horrors one at a time and avoid attracting more into the battle. Once victorious, claim the Icy Crystal from Filro’s frozen grasp.
Icy Metal
Location: (X:50, Y:75) This final piece of the Mourning Frost quarterstaff is found in the Myconid Colony vault. To unlock the vault, you’ll need to befriend the Myconids by completing a series of tasks. Speak with SovereGameTopic to kick off the adventures, which involve wiping out duergars in the Decrepit Village and facing off against Nere, a True Soul drow. Once you’ve completed these objectives, the vault will open beside Derryth Bonecloaks’s camp.
With all three components gathered, it’s time to work your crafting magic and combine them in your inventory to create the Mourning Frost staff.
How To Get The Icy Helve
Killing the Spectator and obtaining the Icy Helve is no walk in the park. We highly recommend resting before this encounter. You’ll find the Spectator by entering the Selunite Outpost through a broken window near the Shattered Sanctum’s entrance to the Underdark. Trust us, this cheerful fellow will catch your party off guard and have the initiative on their side. How rude!
The Spectator is no pushover, with its range of high-damage ray attacks that can seriously impede your damage output. Take our advice and set up buffs to boost your resistance. Spells like Bless, Resistance, Beacon of Hope, and Warding Bond will be your best friends in this battle. Having a cleric like Shadowheart in your party wouldn’t hurt either.
Beware, in each round of the fight, the Spectator will unleash its petrified statues to fight for its cold and unloving cause. Stay frosty and prevail!
How To Get The Icy Crystal
Prepare yourselves for a chilling battle against Filro the Forgotten and a pack of Hook Horrors during the Adamantine Forge quest. Filro will have an elevation advantage at the start, but it’s nothing you can’t handle with your gaming skills.
It’s advisable to take out one Hook Horror at a time to avoid getting overrun by this creepy bunch. Stay cool and focused, defeat them all, and claim victory. Once the dust settles, collect the icy treasure from Filro’s frozen remains.
How To Get The Icy Metal
To obtain the Icy Metal and complete the Mourning Frost, you’ll need to befriend the Myconids in the Myconid Colony. It won’t be easy, but the effort will be worth it in the end.
Begin by speaking to SovereGameTopic, the leader of the Myconids. He’ll task you with wiping out the duergar in the Decrepit Village. Show them who’s boss! After that, it’s time to face Nere, a True Soul drow found across the lake. Take them down, and you’ll unlock the coveted Myconid Colony Vault.
Once you discover the vault nestled next to Derryth Bonecloaks’s camp, the Icy Metal will be within your grasp. Congratulations! You’ve conquered all the challenges and are now ready to wield the mighty Mourning Frost.
Now that you’re armed with the knowledge of crafting the Mourning Frost, go forth, brave adventurers, and show the world the true power of ice! Stay frosty, and may your journeys be filled with excitement, laughter, and epic loot!
