Boss Fight: Lord Fredrik

Stats / Weaknesses: Lord Fredrik is the Snowmad King. He is vulnerable after charging attacks and when hit by thrown enemies.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Lord Fredrik blows a horn, causing spiky ice balls to rain down, some turning into tuff tucks. Dodge the balls, grab a tuff tuck, and hurl it at Fredrik when he adjusts his helmet to lure him forward. Jump on him during his three charges. He then jumps, causing platforms to fall; roll under him to a safe spot. He returns to the background to repeat the cycle. Hit him with three jump attacks.
  2. Phase 2: Fredrik jumps further. He launches eight ice dragons (watch for ice shards for dodge locations). The platform ices over. He then launches five spiky ice balls. Grab a tuck or fluff and throw it at him. Jump on him during his three charges. He jumps again, then repeats the ice dragon attack. Hit him with three more jump attacks.
  3. Phase 3: Fredrik jumps across the arena, launching platforms with lava geysers. Jump to already fallen platforms for safety. He summons ten ice dragons in the background. He shoots six spiky ice balls. Toss an enemy at him to lure him forward. He performs three faster charging attacks. If missed, he launches platforms again. He then shoots dragons from his horn: a single fast dragon (jump immediately) or a bunch (jump over curled wings, duck under outstretched wings). He charges again. Hit him three final times to win.

Strategy:

  • Dodge incoming attacks carefully.
  • Use thrown enemies (tuff tucks, fluff) to lure Lord Fredrik to the foreground.
  • Time your jumps to hit him during his charging attacks.
  • In Phase 3, be aware of the falling platforms and lava geysers.
  • Pay close attention to audio cues and visual indicators for dragon attacks.
