Throwing a potion of Frost
Tips
- Use on all Mystery Meat, to turn them into Frozen Carpaccio.
- Use against Fire Elementals, to inflict Frost damage {triangular range: 1 — depth(totalHealth×2/3) }.
- Drinking this potion also seems to prevent the Hero from receiving the Paralyzed debuff (from the Paralytic Gas blob), for a much longer duration than the Potion of Purification. (However, it is uncertain whether this is intended, or an exploit.)
- Potions of Frost are good to use in boss battles; it can freeze the boss to help you get extra hits on it, or to use items that heal you, if you are weak.
