  • Go into this fight properly equipped; armor that resists Ice, a Fire element weapon, Hot Drinks to prevent cold weather effects, and Cleansers to unstick you from frost.
  • Break Jin Dahaad's legs to topple it over, then go to town on the ridges along its body. Destroying these will be key to victory.
  • You'll need to make full use of the environment — dropping ice chunks on the monster, luring other monsters in to distract it, and bringing down ice chunks (and hiding behind them) to block its lethal ice blast. You'll recognise that because it has a huge wind-up.
