How to find and defeat Frost Dragon in Hytale

If you’ve been busy exploring the world of Hytale, then you might have come across the Frost Dragon .

This ancient creature is supposed to be a boss. We have seen it in action in previous in-game screenshots released as part of the official promotion. It is already present in the game, but you might be surprised once you stumble upon the beast.

Frost Dragon location in Hytale

To find the Frost Dragon (or the Ice Dragon), you’ll need to visit the frozen regions of Dragonspire Weald. You’ll need to enter zone 3 and scout the frozen parts of Dragonspire Weald. The location will be a frozen bit of land surrounded by what should be considered non-frozen areas. Do note that this was in the Creative world. There’s also a portal that can take you directly to this location.

Once you reach the location, you’ll find a tall structure on the summit of the tallest mountain. Thanks to its size, this structure isn’t easy to miss. Climb to the top, and you’ll find the Frost Dragon sleeping in its lair.

While the terrain is rough, you’ll find plenty of valuable ores at this location. You can also find Glass to mine, which will be helpful if you want to build a window.

How to defeat the Frost Dragon in Hytale

Well, here’s the catch: the Frost Dragon appears to be asleep. At first, I thought that it was a bug. Unfortunately, the Frost Dragon boss doesn’t activate a fight in the current build (early access update 1). I tried to trigger a fight in the Creative mode, but to no avail. Hence, you can’t technically defeat the creature because you can’t fight it!

If you hit the boss with weapons, you won’t be dealing any damage. The creature will also continue to sleep without bothering about your attempts to land blows. While Hytale‘s first major update dropped on Jan. 16, the Frost Dragon continues to sleep tight.

I will be updating the guide with the proper battle steps once the boss becomes active. I firmly believe the location will remain the same. While you can’t fight the dragon yet, you can mine the areas for rare loot, and they will allow you to craft different recipes.

Earth of Oryn could become the perfect January launch for those who are into city-building and resource management titles, and its release is almost here.

Originally meant for launch last year, we have had to wait till the first month of January. Earth of Oryn will be released exclusively on Steam, and this guide will help you keep track of the upcoming release.

Earth of Oryn release countdown

Earth of Oryn will be going live globally on Jan. 19. It’s unlikely that there will be any more delays at this late stage, and the following countdown will expire once the game goes live.

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 8am PT
• 10am CT
• 11am ET
• 4pm UTC
• 5pm CET

You can wishlist Earth of Oryn as of writing. There’s no pre-purchase, so we will have to wait for the launch to go live before we can purchase. The timings mentioned here are based on the information available on SteamDB.

What to expect from Earth of Oryn

Earth of Oryn puts you in charge of starting a new town in Brandford and building it one block at a time. Place houses, roads, workshops, and markets for your townsfolk to survive and thrive. As your town expands, so will its population.

With a modular building system, you’ll be able to give a personal touch to your base. There are research and new technologies available for you to discover on your journey. From the town design to managing its people and resources, you’ll need to do it all. More features are expected to be added later down the line as Earth of Oryn spends more months in early access.

If you want to check it out, there’s a free demo currently available on Steam. While it’s very early access, the last time I played, it will undoubtedly give you a good overview of what to expect.
