Frost Arrow

Frost arrow is an arrow ammunition type that deals both pierce and frost damage. Its slowing effect makes it especially effective against fast, smaller enemies such as fulings, letting you control their movement while you keep pressure on them from range.

These arrows can be found randomly in chests, including chests in ruins in the Mountain biome. The Mountain biome is also the source of the materials associated with frost-arrow crafting: freeze glands drop from drakes, and obsidian is found in the mountains as well. Because of that, frost arrows fit naturally into mountain progression and are commonly associated with hunting in cold regions.

Against enemies immune to frost, frost arrows lose much of their value and become less efficient than Flinthead Arrow. In those cases, Obsidian Arrow is the better choice, since it is slightly cheaper while avoiding the wasted frost component. Their utility is therefore strongest against enemies that are vulnerable to slowing or where maintaining range matters more than raw damage.

• Deals pierce and frost damage.
• Applies a slowing effect.
• Particularly useful against smaller, mobile enemies such as fulings.
• Can be found in chests in Mountain biome ruins.
• Uses Mountain biome materials, including freeze glands from drakes and obsidian.
• Is a poor choice against frost-immune enemies; Obsidian arrow is preferred there.
