How to Track Down the Frozen Anguish in Crimson Desert
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Learn how to brave the cold northern reaches of Demeniss and unlock the Spire of Frost to claim the powerful Frozen Anguish two-handed sword in Crimson Desert.
As players push deeper into the midgame of Crimson Desert, crowd control becomes essential for survival. Facing larger mobs of enemies means single target attacks no longer cut it, making heavy hitting gear like the Frozen Anguish two-handed sword a priority upgrade for your arsenal. According to a detailed guide by Paulo Kawanishi over at Polygon, securing this weapon requires a trek into some of the most hostile territory the game has to offer.
The Frozen Anguish is stashed away inside the Spire of Frost, a towering structure located in the frigid northern reaches of Demeniss. Reaching the tower is a challenge in itself because the harsh cold mechanics drain your health and stamina over time. Players need to prep properly by equipping gear with native ice resistance or stocking up on specific consumables. A quick fix before heading out from Hernand is grabbing a beer at the local inn, which grants a temporary level 2 ice resistance buff to keep you alive during the initial approach.
Navigating the frozen wastes is only half the battle, as the area surrounding the Spire of Frost is heavily guarded. Heading out unprepared usually results in a fast trip back to a respawn point.
