ICE TITAN

Behavior

Unlike most creatures, the Ice Titan picks certain targets to kill and mainly focus on those targets. It pounds and swipes at its targets and jumps.

General

When you teleport back to the Snow Dome, the Ice Titan begins to manifest out of thin air. The battle begins when the Titan lets out a loud roar after it jumps in the center of a platform in the Snow Dome.

The Ice Titan can be considered to be the most difficult of the 3 Titans (thus excluding the King Titan) with its base HP of 350000 and its attack dealing up to 3875 damage. Its stomps are easily dodgeable. You should try to avoid its breath attack, as it will automatically freeze the survivor solid and leave it prone to two attacks from it. The jumping attack is somewhat hard to avoid due to the area it can stomp on. The goal to defend from it is to run as soon and as fast as possible from where it aims (most probably, the survivor) in a straight line. One tactic is to charge directly at the Ice Titan, as it can overshoot and land behind.

After a period of time, the Ice Titan will start to periodically emit an icy mist. This mist will begin to freeze the survivor, eventually immobilizing them. Note that if you get frozen you can constantly use your attack (default , , ) to thaw you out faster. Creatures that are frozen will be incapacitated for much longer, typically 30 to 60 seconds.

Other creatures can attack you during the fight such as Direwolf, Dire Bears, Daeodons as well as less likely Managarmrs and Purlovias.

Dangers

• The Ice Titan is the most agile of the Titans.

• It can shoot ice at enemies dealing 500 damage and freezing them.

• His breath will instantly freeze you and your tames in place, making anything frozen an easy target to kill.

• The Ice Titan also deals 300 damage while walking.

• Lastly, its ice aura also tends to drag out the fight, allowing it to deal more heavy blows or create a time gap large enough to cause a survivor to make a fatal mistake. The ice aura starts to emit when you either brings the titan's health to half or you destroyed its first corruption node on its right ankle.

• Any creature affected by its freezing attacks and aura get a debuff where the Ice Titan's attacks deal 50% more damage. For example, if a creature with no armor tanks 3875 damage points from the Ice Titan's center ground slam, it will now deals 5812 damage points with the same attack if the creature is frozen.

Weaknesses

It is easily distracted by any nearby creatures. This can allow you some breathing room and to deliver extra damage until it changes to targeting or give you time to heal a tame or a Mek.

The Ice titan has an attack "blindspot" on its flanks. This, in turn, forces the Titan to constantly rotate to center itself on you. It is risky when the Ice Titan's hand can trip your Mek, making you vulnerable to its ground pound. Also be careful if close to the feat, as it can also stomp with it for 3100 damage.

For players that use Meks, the Ice Titan attack's are extremely slow, giving players enough time to dodge its attacks. A player in a Mek can use a variety of combo attack while also dodging its attacks. For example, when you use the Mek's boosters to fly towards the titan, move in any other direction at the last moment, making the Ice Titan miss its attack. Additionally, it will now need to adjust itself to be centered on the player, giving them enough time to land several attacks and safely retreat out of its attack zone while using its pistol to deal more damage.

The loot will sometimes appear in a dropped item cache, even if your tames don't destroy the body. You only have 3 minutes before this cache expires, so clear the area and find it quickly. For this reason it's best to try and arrange your battles for the daytime.
