Elden Ring Borealis's Mist Notes and Tips
- Updated to Patch 1.10. See Patch Notes for details.
- In the Colosseum, if the opponent is spacing the dragon breath out of its range or putting pressure by interrupting your dragon breath, use Swarm of Flies. Most opponents will run away from the attack, causing them to lose stamina and give you space to do a dragon breath.
- To prevent the opponent from constantly interrupting your dragon breath, use Endure. With all dragon breaths having a 2.5-second wind-up and Endure having a 3-second duration it will give you enough time to do a dragon breath in the air. However, you will not have enough time to swap into a Dragon Communion Seal on both hands if you want the full wind-up duration to be protected by Endure.

AnonymousI feel bad for you if you wasted 2 hearts on this.
Has the same Frost buildup as Dragonice with higher stat requirements and more FP consumption, while also requiring you to fight an annoying late-game boss. Does more damage, but if you're only concerned about getting big magic damage, just run one of the Glinstone Breaths.
Oh but you can cast this one while jumping! Wow! How useful!

This absolutely destroys paired with black flame protect me, golden vow, and terra magica in pvp. Buff up, terra magica, endure, and then ice breath and their dead.

If you wanna get some crazy damage with this, use Magma Breath first and then follow it up with this. The magma pool will reset the frostbite leading to multiple procs throughout one cast, this is because of the massive frostbite buildup of this spell easily overcoming your targets resistance. Although if your playing with summons online the bosses have increased resistances so your results will vary.

would make sense for this to be physical, or for frost to be it's own damage type.

The wiki says you can use this spell on horseback with the sacred seal in the main hand, however this is not true.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

What's the point of the named dragon incantations? They cost more hearts and more FP, and they seem to do similar damage in a roughly equal area. Also, they can't be used mounted and they have that awkward pause in the middle. There's some cool tricks with the cast while jumping thing and they have a slightly larger area, but overall they seem generally inferior to me.

Borealis must’ve eaten some of those Listerine breath strips.

Kind of wish we got slightly different Dragon spells instead of just the same "Float in the air and breathe different type of breath" spells.
Like for Borealis I would like if we got its 360 AOE freezing attack instead. For Theodorix maybe the charge attack that leaves magma behind.

Borealis was the first dragon I beat before going to the church to get this, but I still can't seem to access it. Any idea why this is?

This is a way for faith casters to deal magic damage. It can be boosted by terra magicka.

i dont see the advantage of bigger breaths. most of the times, its better to use smaller one to deal more damage over time.

what damage type does this do, physical or magic? im not talking about the frostbite
- Anonymous
This seems to deal....about 16% more damage than Dragonice? If anyone can confirm.

I have had more luck using hoarfrost stomp over this. Can deal triple the damage in half the time with only 10 intelligence. This takes longer, uses an absurd amount of FP, and is harder to hit (although it has better range). I am also using a +9 Dragon Communion Seal with 30/30 faith and arcane.

This and Rot are the two best breaths. Great damage and good status ailments you can inflict

casting this with 43 faith, arcane 15 and godslayer talisman +20 only does 230 dmg per tick to the banished knight outside of the church, in spite of the high mana cost. Does this scale better with Arcane, or is it necessary to use the dragon seal to get any reasonable damage numbers?
Must say that balancing seems off, when comparing this to warcries like hoarfrost stomp.
Like the other guy said, this thing has inconsistent range and depth just like the other expensive breath counterparts. They're not worth the higher FP cost because they're usually worse outside of specific scenarios.

According to my tests it's not really better than the regular ice breath. On top of that the first part of the attack is too high and it's impossible to aim correctly. Lastly it can't be used on a horse.
Waste of hearts. Buy only after you aquired the basic breaths.
If you think about it, the Mountaintops of the Giants must be the sole realm in the Lands Between that has seen the most war and conflict across history. There was the Ice dragons vs the Fire giants, then the Fire giants vs the Zamor, then the Golden Order and Godfrey vs the Fire giants.
