How to defeat Borealis the Freezing Fog in Elden Ring

Publish date: 2024-06-18

Dragons are commonplace in the world of Elden Ring, but Borealis the Freezing Fog is the only ice dragon that players will encounter in the game. Not only is the element of the dragon unique, but the fog of the arena and the ice all around makes the environment unique as well.

Compared to other dragons, Borealis the Freezing Fog is also fairly tanky and can take more than a few massive hits. Only a few different builds will be able to burn the boss down in a flash, but most will have to take their time to cut down its health as best as they can.

Borealis the Freezing Fog located at one of the northern-most parts of the map in Elden Ring, and clearly doesn't like anyone invading his space, especially not the Tarnished. Players will know when they are about to find the ice dragon in the Forbidden Lands because vision will be nearly impossible. On top of that, the massive ice lake will indicate that the beast is near.
