How to Beat Frostclaw and Weaknesses

Use Fire Arrows

The Frostclaw's body is weak against Fire-based attacks, so inflicting the Fire effect is a viable option to get in extra damage.

Aim for the Freeze Sacs and Freeze Unit

Aiming for destroying these components will create a Freeze explosion, inflicting the Frostclaw with Freeze. In this state all attacks deal bonus damage and the Frostclaw's movements will be slowed. Note that destroying these components will disable the Frostclaw's Freeze-based attacks, making it much more predictable.
