Cryo Hypostasis Boss Information

Basic Enemy Information

Cryo Hypostasis
Required Resin	40
Adventurer Handbook Description
Code name: Daleth. A high-purity Cryo entity. Research suggests that there are subtle differences between elemental hypostases and other elemental life forms in terms of their physical composition. Perhaps these differences can account for their high level of homeostasis and their almost mechanical movements.

How to Beat Cryo Hypostasis

Wait for an Opening to Attack

The Cryo Hypostasis' weakness is its core, which is vulnerable after every attack. Use Pyro and Electro skills to deal massive damage quickly.

Hit the Frostfruits to Break the Cryo Shield

To beat the Hypostasis for good, you need to attack the Frostfruits it drops using charged attacks. This will propel the Frostfruits forward and damage the Cryo Shield.

After breaking the Cryo Shield, you can now deal damage and finish it off. You can also use Charged Bow Attacks on the Frostfruits to keep yourself at a safe distance while breaking the shield.

Use Heat Sources to Prevent Sheer Cold

Apart from fighting the Cryo Hypostass, you also need to manage Sheer Cold throughout the fight. Make sure you get near heat sources during the fight, as damage from the cold combined with the Hypostasis attacks can knock out your party.

Cryo Hypostasis Attack Patterns

Clap Attack

Similar to other Hypostases, the Cryo Hypostasis has its own version of the Clap Attack. Avoid the attack to be able to deal damage on the vulnerable Hypostasis Core.

Ice Shower

The Cryo Hypostasis launches a ring of icicles in the surrounding area. This has a wide range, so keep your distance when it attacks.

Cryo Barrage Attack

Another attack that's similar to other Hypostases, the Cryo Hypostasis also has a Cryo Barrage Attack, which can attack you from a distance. Keep moving around to avoid the shards.

Ice Spikes

The Cryo Hypostasis creates a series of spikes around it, trapping and stunning players on hit. Be wary of the marks that appear on the ground, as these are places the spikes will pop out of.
