During Subquests, you will sometimes have to fight a boss while doing the quest. This page will pertain to the fight against Black Frost.
You will fight Black Frost during A Sobering Standoff
Where to Find Black Frost¶
Black Frost is part of the mutually exclusive quests found in Chiyoda, which means you will have to choose between him and Dionysus. Dionysus will ask you to defeat Black Frost, as part of the A Sobering Standoff quest. Black Frost is a little more hidden than Dionysus, but is not that out of the way. From the Ginza Leyline, head northwest and you should see a building that is on its side, acting like a ramp. Right next to that building is another building that has a giant hole in its side. Enter that second building to find Black Frost.

Recommended Party¶
Of the two battles for these quests, Black Frost could be considered a little more challenging than Dionysus. He has more resistances you have to worry about, since he blocks Ice, resists Fire and repels Dark. Thankfully, there is a weakness to Light, and all other resistances are neutral, so you’re not starving for ways to damage him. The good news about Black Frost, though, is that outside of blocking both Ice and Dark, the only other way he can damage you is with his normal attacks. Granted, it’s not as much damage as the two elemental skills, but it can still pack a little punch. Mabufula is the biggest problem in this battle, since it hits the entire party, so you absolutely do not want to bring anyone weak to Ice into the fight.

With the recommended party listed above, the only one that should be taking full damage from Mabufula would be Anubis. Black Dracostrike is a Dark-elemental attack, but it relies on Strength for damage and not Magic. Black Frost has around the same Strength and Magic, so whatever damage you see from Mabufula will probably be around the same for Black Dracostrike. The only added thing is that Black Dracostrike can instakill someone, if they are weak to Dark. The third skill in his arsenal is Tarunda, which will simply lower a target’s attack for three turns. If you have access to Matarukaja/Tarukaja, you can counter this easily. Keeping everyone’s health up can be a lot easier if you can control the Ice/Dark attacks. Thoth is suggested for this battle, but you will want to have Resist Dark on him in order to strike out the weakness to Dark.
