Looking to enhance your frost build in Elden Ring? The Icerind Hatchet is the answer you have been looking for. Primarily scaling with dexterity, this axe will build status effect on your enemies faster than any other weapon.
Its primary skill Hoarfrost Stomp will release a mist of frost via an Area Of Effect attack, which builds the status effect. The weapon had to be nerfed in later patches due to its sheer damage potential. Even in its powered-down form, it is still a force to be reckoned with.
Today, we’ll show you where you can get the Icerind Hatchet in Elden Ring and how to use it.
Icerind Hatchet location in Elden Ring
To get your hands on the Icerind Hatchet, you need to first complete a prerequisite which is to defeat Godrick the Grafted.
Once that is done, you need to travel near the Raya Lucaria Academy in Liurnia of the Lakes region. For that, you need to head toward the nearest Site of Grace which is Temple Quarter.
From the Site of Grace, you need to head Southeast until you come across a couple of abandoned towers. Within the ruins of these buildings, you need to locate a Treasure Chest.
Opening this chest will get tarnished Icerind Hatchet and can be added to the inventory for any future use. While searching for chest, you will encounter a couple of Albaurniac which are difficult to get rid of. So you need to be mindful of that.
