Jäätiö (listen Audio.svg) (also known as Ice Spirit) is a floating skull which continuously produces freezing vapour. It is primarily found in the Snowy Depths.

Behavior

It will fly towards you, shooting projectiles which burst into a small cloud of freezing vapour after travelling a short distance. When it takes damage it shoots twelve of the these projectiles in an even circular spread. It will also dash on occasion, which deals melee damage. This is especially dangerous because when Effect frozen.png Frozen, a melee hit deals half of your remaining health.

Ice Spirits often appear alone, but can spawn in pairs or even groups of up to three. They will typically not attack other enemies unless provoked, much like Hiisi.

Combat Tips

  • Caution must be taken not to be caught in a cloud of the freezing vapour this enemy produces.
  • Melee attacks are especially risky due to the retaliation projectiles it launches, as well as the potential to be freeze melee'd.
  • Hitting Jäätiö with a teleport bolt often causes instant death, as you are likely to be hit by many of the 12 projectiles it produces, both freezing you and dealing massive damage. For this reason it is best to exercise caution when teleporting around the snowy depths as the damage and frozen effect can be lethal.
    • This also makes high-damage projectiles more effective as they result in fewer retaliation bursts.
  • Since the freezing vapour they produce floats upward, it is generally better to shoot them from below, though this does open up the possibility of getting hit by a dash attack.
