The Baldur’s Gate 3 Icy Metal, Icy Heave, and Icy Crystal are three components that are necessary in crafting the powerful Mourning Frost staff. All three parts of this cold-damage weapon can be found in various places in the Underdark, but finding them is tougher than it sounds. The process of grabbing these three items is similar to the method of getting the Vision of the Absolute spear that can only be crafted by combining the Broken Shaft and Broken Head found earlier in Act 1. Here’s where you can find the locations of the Icy Metal, Icy Heave, and Icy Crystal in BG3.
Where to find Baldur’s Gate 3 Icy Metal, Icy Heave, and Icy Crystal locations
Below are the coordinates and a description on where to find all three Icy components in the Underdark for the Mourning Frost staff:
- Icy Metal – Located at coordinates X 50, Y -73 in the Ebonlake Grotto, the Icy Metal is found on the body of a drow. The only way to reach the body is by choosing to save the Myconid Colony by bringing the head of True Soul Nere to the Myconid Sovereign Shaw.
- Icy Helve – Located near coordinates X 118, Y -250 in the Underdark, the Icy Helve is found on a drow named Dhoum in the fight against a beholder Spectator. Walking through the broken gate at the Selunite Outpost will lead to this battle.
- Icy Crystal – Found close to coordinates X -50, Y -50 in Dread Hollow, the Icy Crystal can be found on Filro the Forgotten. This body is close to the Sussur Tree.
Once you have all three Icy items in your inventory, you can combine them into the Mourning Frost quarterstaff. This versatile weapon deals an additional 1d4 cold damage, increases any cold damage you deal, and has the chance to inflict the Chilled status effect. It also bestows the wielder with the Ray of Frost cantrip.
