Investigate the Strange Ice
After speaking with Iris, enter the Dragonspine and look for the strange ice near the teleport waypoint. When you reach the strange ice, investigate it.
Thaw the Strange Ice
You must thaw the strange ice using the Scarlet Quartz located around it. Once thawed, the ice will reveal a strange object that will fly up the mountain. Thawing the ice will also reveal the Frosbearing Tree.
How to Thaw the Strange Ice
| Step by Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  There are a total of four Scarlet Quartz to find around the ice pillar. Locate them and use them to melt the ice. |
| 2 |  Two of the quartz are near the Lawachurl and Samachurl, so you must defeat them first in order to safely retrieve the quartz. |
| 3 |  After you've picked up the quartz, go to the ice and hit it to begin melting it. You can only use the quartz one at a time. |
| 4 |  After breaking the ice pillar, you can now access the Frostbearing Tree. |
Check out the guide below for a more in-depth walkthrough on thawing the ice.
How to Thaw the Shards Out
Continue Upwards to Investigate
Navigate to the marked location on your map to find the area with a strong wind current. Return to Iris to report after speaking with Paimon.
Thaw All the Shards Out
After reporting to Iris, she will inform you that you will need to thaw two more shards located in Entombed City Outskirts and Starglow Cavern.
Investigate the Strange Ice in Entombed City Outskirts
| Step by Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Proceed to Wyrmrest Valley, to the area which has Cryo mechanisms and four warming pillars. |
| 2 |  Complete the puzzle by activating the totem and get ready to fight the two Ruin Guards, followed by the Ruin Grader. Beating them will unlock the next ice pillar located below. |
| 3 |  Once inside the chamber, locate the 2 Warming Seelie, one of which is inside an ice block that you can melt with Pyro. |
| 4 |  After finding both Seelie, look for the Scarlet Quartz and thaw out the ice pillar. You will face two more Ruin Graders before you leave the area. |
Investigate the Strange Ice in Starglow Cavern
| Step by Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Once you reach the bottom center of the cavern, look for the Warming Seelie before starting the challenge. You have to clear this challenge in order to remove the barrier protecting the pillar. |
| 2 |  One of the Seelie can be found behind a rock. Break the rocks in order to free the Seelie and Scarlet Quartz. |
| 3 |  After guiding all of the Seelie, activate the challenge mechanism. |
| 5 |  You must defeat a total of 14 opponents to complete the challenge. Keep running along the water's edge to avoid being frozen by Hilichurls and Abyss Mages. |
| 6 |  After completing the challenge, use the Scarlet Quartz to thaw out the pillar. |
Check out the guide below to find out where the shards are and how to thaw them.
How to Thaw the Shards Out
Head for Dragonspine's Summit
The wind current from the previous location will be dispersed after all of the shards have thawed. Continue to that location until you reach the summit.
Thaw All the Shards Out Again
Once you've reached the main pillar, you must thaw out three more pillars in order to repair it.
Unlike the other strange ice, you only need to hit the ice once to melt it.
| Step by Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  One Scarlet Quartz can be found near the Frostarm Lawachurl, which must be defeated before you can obtain the quartz. |
| 2 |  Return up the same path after thawing out the first pillar until you reach an Anemo mechanism. Activate it to glide to the other side of the mountain. |
| 3 |  After gliding to the other side, defeat the enemies and search the area for the two Scarlet Quartz. Melt the remaining pillar with the quartz. |
Check out the guide below to find out how to thaw all three shards.
