Shin Megami Tensei V

How to defeat King Frost

By
Jarrod Garripoli

During Subquests, you will sometimes have to fight a boss while doing the quest. This page will pertain to the fight against King Frost.

It’s time to chill with King Frost

Where to find King Frost

King Frost is a demon you will fight during the quest, A Wish for a Fish. The cold-storage warehouse is a place you passed on your way in the Container Yard area. It is just north of the Principality that gave you the Holding the Line quest at the beginning of the area. There will be a NPC Muu Shuwuu here, who mentions the cold-storage warehouse, which will be right next to her. Enter it to find a King Frost, who will be guarding the warehouse.

The cold warehouse is located southeast of the Container Yard Leyline

Recommended Party

As the name suggests, King Frost will primarily be using Ice skills during the battle, so don’t bring along any demons that might be weak to that element. Jack Frost absorbing Ice means that King Frost will have a very challenging time defeating him, but you will need to add on some other skills in order to make him deal some damage. Thankfully, King Frost is weak to both Fire and Dark, so you will want to bring along demons that have Agilao and Mudo/Mudoon for the battle. Cironnup is also a great demon for this battle, if you are able to fuse it.

(1 of 2) Immunity to ice will make this battle a lot easier

Immunity to ice will make this battle a lot easier (left), Cironnup is a great addition to the team for this fight (right)

The reason for that is because Cironnup resists Ice and comes with Ghastfire Rain, a fire skill, right from the get go. This skill is a bit expensive on MP, though, and it’s not that much more damage over something like Agi/Agilao. Plus, Cironnup has Restore, meaning he will get some MP back from striking a weakness. If you bring along Xuanwu (blocks Ice), then you will want to get Mudo on him. If you use Shiki-Ouji, who isn’t resistant/blocking Ice, you will have Mudo right off the bat. Don’t forget to use your Magatsuhi skill to increase the damage done, while also getting criticals on every hit.
