Stage Layout
This battle will begin with the wizard Mortimer Freezefloating above your head. For the entirety of this phase, he will remain floating above you while performing various attacks. You are able tomove freely along the stage floorand only have to worry about Mortimer’s attacks.
Attacks
Mortimer hasthree main attacksduring this phase. Thefirst oneis the attack shown in the image above. He will spawnfour ice minionsthat will move toward you after touching the ground. These enemies can be easily destroyed in a few hits, and it’s best to deal with them as soon as they spawn.
Thesecond attackis when Mortimer pulls out a crystal ball. Using this, he will sendlarge playing cardsflying at you in a straight line. He only fires one of these at a time, so they are pretty simple to evade. Eventually, one of these cards will be pink, and you will be able to parry it.
Thefinal attackto look out for in this phase is agiant orange whalethat Mortimer attempts to flatten you with. The tell for this attack is pretty obvious and gives you a second or two to evade it. When you see Mortimer pull out the whale,dashto either side of the screen to evade the attack.
Pase two begins when the wizard floating above you rings a bell and morphs into abig snow monster. The layout of the stage overall stays the same as it was during the first. The only difference is that instead of Mortimer Floating above you, he will move fromone side of the screen to the other, stopping to lay down a few attacks first.
In the second phase, there are anotherthree attacksto watch out for. The first is when the snow monster rolls its body up into a ball and eitherrolls or jumpsfrom one side of the stage to the other. This attack is avoided as easily as jumping over his body when he rolls. That, or dash under when he jumps.
The next attack to look out for is when the snow monster morphs again into agiant refrigerator. The fridge will then shootice cubes into the air. Once these ice cubes hit the ground, they split in two, multiplying each time they bounce until they get too small to split again. There is no easy way to deal with these, so being on top of your dodging game is key. While the fridge shoots ice cubes, it will alsoshoot out a few popsicles. They move pretty slow and can be easily dodged or detroyed. There’s also a pink one that you can parry.
The final attack that the snow monster utlizes throught this phase is a slam attack. The monsterslams the ground, causing swords to shoot out. These are easy to see, as the snow will be disturbed where the sword is about to stick up. Simply move to either side of it until the attack is over. Once you do enough damage, this phase will end, and the next will begin. It’s signified by the monster hunching over and a snowflake popping out.

The final phase of this fight begins after defgeating the snow monster and climbing up some platforms out of the arena. You ditch the frozen arena that you were fighting in for a bunch ofrotating ice platformsup in the sky. Here, you will be fighting against agiant snowflake. The face will take position onone side of the screen at a time. Make sure that you are always moving and landing on the platforms, as falling off of them can mean taking a hit or even death. It’s reccomended you always stay on theplatform farthest from the boss. This makes it easier to dodge attacks.
In this phase, the boss hasthree unique movesthat you will need to dodge. After perfoming an attack, the boss moves over to the other side of the screen. One attack the boss might try isthrowing buckets at you. Avoid getting hit by these buckets, then remain alert. Each time a bucket reaches the opposite side of the screen, it explodes intothree crecent moonsthat move outward and back toward you. Managing to dodge all of the moving projectiles will get you safely through this attack.
Another atttack that the boss tries ispopping out its eyeball. This eyeball floats around the screen for a few seconds and attempt to damage you. It will alsoshoot lightining in a vertical pathat random times, so make sure to keep your distance.
The last attack to look out for is abunch of floating headsmade to look like ice cream cones. Mortimer will spawn these, and they will immediately beginmoving in a predetermined straight line. Avoiding this attack is as simple as moving out of their way.
