Learn how to unlock the Cold-Blooded trophy in Final Fantasy XVI by freezing and defeating three enemies simultaneously with Shiva's abilities like Frostbite, Permafrost, or Diamond Dust.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Obtain Shiva's Eikonic abilities by progressing through the main story, specifically by completing the quest Through the Maelstrom.
  2. 2
    Equip Shiva's abilities. The abilities Frostbite and Permafrost are accessed via the Cold Snap Eikonic Feat (press Circle while dodging through an enemy). Frostbite is a single-target freeze, while Permafrost is an area-of-effect freeze achieved via a precision dodge.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, use the Diamond Dust ability, which can both freeze enemies and deal damage.
  4. 4
    Find a group of three or more non-flying enemies that are weaker than you. Flying enemies may evade Diamond Dust.
  5. 5
    Rush into the midst of the enemies.
  6. 6
    Use Diamond Dust to freeze and defeat the enemies simultaneously. If using Frostbite or Permafrost, freeze the enemies and then quickly defeat them with another attack before the freeze wears off.
  7. 7
    If the trophy does not unlock, fast travel to The Gilded Path obelisk, head north to find a mob of Revenants and a Specter (level 33), and repeat the process.
  8. 8
    If companions like Torgal or Joshua interfere, try to attempt this during Back to Their Origin when only Torgal is present, or consider save scumming during the Streets of Madness quest.
Tips
  • Using Diamond Dust is generally the simplest strategy as it can both freeze and damage enemies.
  • Attempting this trophy when you are at a higher level (e.g., level 40+) and have upgraded gear will make it easier.
  • Gear like Genji Gloves or The Will of Ice (Diamond Dust), obtained from the Trial By Ice Chronolith Trial, can increase damage and aid in unlocking the trophy.
  • If enemies are too strong, weaken them slightly before using Diamond Dust.
  • Avoid side quests before Back to Their Origin to keep the enemy composition simple and minimize companion interference.
