Winter Elemental
The Winter Elemental is a powerful and challenging non-player character (NPC) located in the depths of the Wintertodt’s arena, within the depths of the cold, snowy lands surrounding the core of the Wintertodt. This formidable entity serves as the final boss of the Wintertodt activity, testing the resolve and skill of players venture into its frosty domain.
The Winter Elemental has a Combat Level of 300, making it one of the higher-level boss fights in Old School RuneScape. Players should come well-prepared before engaging with this icy foe, as it employs a range of formidable attacks and strategies to defeat those who approach.
Upon entering combat with the Winter Elemental, players will notice several unique mechanics that differentiate it from other bosses. The elemental can cast a series of frost-based spells that cause both direct damage and area-of-effect attacks.

One of the most notable abilities of the Winter Elemental is its ability to summon smaller ice minions known as Ice Fiends. These fiends will attack players, providing an additional layer of difficulty to the boss fight. Players must prioritize taking down these minions quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. However, the elemental can also heal itself based on the number of minions remaining, adding a strategic layer to the encounter where players must balance their attention between the boss and the summoned creatures.
The Winter Elemental is especially vulnerable to fire elemental attacks. Players should come equipped with fire spells or weaponry imbued with fire properties to maximize damage output against this chilling adversary. Additionally, the use of items such as the Blowpipe or Ancient Magicks can further enhance players’ effectiveness in combat.
When defeated, the Winter Elemental drops a variety of rewards, including unique Wintertodt-themed items, such as the Wintertodt’s unique cosmetic rewards. Players also receive experience in Firemaking, providing an incentive for those training that skill.
