\nIn order to activate him, players must track down and kill 20 of the [Ice Constructs](\/wiki\/ice-construct) roaming the mountains. Every time one is slain, a small flame will emerge from it and teleport to the Permafrost Lord, beginning to orbit it. Once ten are killed, the Permafrost Lord will perform a global taunt to alert you to that fact. Once 20 are killed, it will taunt:\n**\"No! You too will embrace the realm of eternal ice!\"\n\"Futile! The endless winter will soon be upon us all!**\nAfter a brief delay, it will absorb the flames, activate, and begin its attack.\n\nThe Permafrost Lord follows several phases that it changes every time it loses 20% of its HP, with small periods of invulnerability in between phases. Throughout the whole fight, the Permafrost Lord will spawn Ice Constructs to help it.\n\n####Phase 1\nThe Permafrost Lord wanders in place while firing rings of blue orbs.\n####Phase 2\nTaunt: **\"Ice, sorrow, darkness!\"**\nThe Permafrost Lord stops firing the rings and begin rapidly firing 6-directional beams of icicles aimed at the nearest player that fire outwards before retracting back towards him.\n####Phase 3\nTaunt: **\"The lands will be painted white!\"**\nThe Permafrost Lord will resume firing rings of blue orbs, however now at a much faster rate.\n####Phase 4\nTaunt: **\"With the winter's might!\"**\nThe Permafrost Lord retreats to the center of his setpiece and becomes immobile. He them begins firing massive slowing stars along the cardinal and intermediate directions, along with a messy flurry of snowflakes that revolve around him erratically. One of the snowflake types he will fire has a much longer range and inflicts Weak for 5 seconds.\n####Phase 5\nTaunt: **\"Enough!\"**\nFlashing red, the Permafrost Lord begins chasing players while firing rapid shotguns of blue orbs, 3-way spreads of his icicle \"beams\", and 4-way bursts of giant ice stars diagonally to him. This phase lasts until his death.\n\n
