Freezing Mist is a Sorcery in Elden Ring. The Freezing Mist spell releases a cold mist that inflicts Frostbite buildup on enemies. Updated to Patch 1.07.
Sorcery said to have been used by the old snow witch.
Releases a cold mist before the caster.
This sorcery can be cast while in motion. Charging enhances range of the mist.
The snowy crone taught the young Ranni to fear the dark moon as she imparted her cold sorcery.
Where to find Freezing Mist
- Can be bought from Preceptor Seluvis for 6,000 Runes. Seluvis is located in Seluvis's Rise, inside the Three Sisters region of Liurnia of the Lakes. [Map link]
- Before Seluvis will sell you Sorceries, you must progress in his quest line. The choices you make do not matter.
- Alternatively, giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade causes Seluvis's death, or the player could simply attack him. He drops Seluvis's Bell Bearing, and the spell can be purchased from Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold after offering the bearing to them.
Freezing Mist Guide
- Cold Sorcery
- Stamina Cost: 13
- Inflicts Frostbite buildup (120) on opponents.
- Depending on resistance, for most enemies, it takes about three seconds of being affected by the mist to cause Frostbite.
- The spell will not alert unaware enemies, even when it triggers the Frostbite effect, similar to Poison Mist.
- Unlike Night Maiden's Mist, it does not affect the caster or friendly targets.
- The spell can be charged to enlarge the affected area. (Charging does not affect the rate of effect buildup.)
- The area expands from the point of "impact", reaching its full size in about half a second, or about one second if the spell is charged.
- It has a short range, even when free-aimed into the air.
- While standing in or walking through the mist is sufficient to trigger Frostbite on most enemies, running through it (once) is usually not.
- NOTE: Since Patch 1.07 Frostbite Status Buildup has been increased from 90 to 120.
Freezing Mist Note and Tips
- Updated to patch 1.07. See Patch Notes for details.
- There is a bug where this sorcery will generate much lower frostbite when cast without meeting the Strength requirement of a staff.
AnonymousFor purely PvE: Anyone prefer this over the icecrag spell? I find that spell to be better as a battlemage. Yeah it’s tracking and distance is dogshit, but starting a fight by firing off 3-4 of them and the enemy take damage from the hits as well as get the effect.
Whereas this I can’t seem to get to work nearly as effectively or consistently.

Charging it makes the AOE bigger (this works for all mists btw!!! like poison and nightmaiden)

Hilariously effective at farming the birds for feet at impassable greatbridge, just run over there, cast, sit down at the grace, and they're dead before you can get back up. Run over, collect loot, recast, rinse and repeat, no more escaping birds.

Anyone would think ice sorcery had simply too many viable sources of spell damage, y'know with them having a grand total of 3 offensive spells and a buff and a debuff. Like gravity casters get to starve to death on nothing but Rock Sling for 100 hours, cold casters are expected to be happy with icecrag I guess.

Use alongside poison mist for a hastier but still quiet stealth kill.

Between this and Night Maiden's Mist, what do people recommend using?

Has anyone done any testing on how much frostbite buildup this is? There is data on Chilling Mist AOW but not this one. Is it possibly because it scales off of int and it is hard to test?
- Anonymous
I'm convinced this spell and the Freezing Mist AOW are bugged and do nothing. I have never managed to get the frostbite to proc on any enemy I've casted this on.

underrated spell, combos excellently with adulas moonblade not just for frost procs in pve but in pvp you get some minor zoing benefit and visual cover from the mist FX
in a chaotic fight the mist makes it harder for opponenets to see you winidng up mooblade (or Ranni's Dark Moon) for the kill shot

Why couldn’t they make this spell operate like the zamor ruin’s mob AoE attack.

Likely doesn't scale with anything, just like the DS3 variant, making it good for low int builds.

Literally just wait until your far enough in the ranni questline, something will happen to selvius and you can pick up his bell off of him without ruining Nepheli's life.

Unless I’m missing something it doesn’t seem to do much to enemies. Either that or they have to be in the mist for quite a while
Doesn't seem to draw aggro from bosses and the debuff is quite nice so it's a really good spell for support builds in co-op

I cant find ranni, or selvius in their towers. I think it might because I went to Redmane castle before I did Canor. Since these NPC's are not there, am I locked out of the spells Selvius sells for the rest of the game?

Does no damage itself but when it applies the status it also does a one time small damage to the enemy, doesn't affect you, okay if you like the frost status and play melee or kite the enemy into the mist. Froze status cause enemies to take extra damage.
Based on the spell description, I wouldn't be surprised if this belongs to the Full Moon sorcery subtype.

You can purchase this from Selivus after giving Nephali his potion
