The Snow Queen is found in an ice-encrusted room near the top of the Aurora Palace. She is perhaps the most human-like creature encountered in the Twilight Forest, resembling a woman, but with large violet eyes and pale blue skin. She is immediately hostile towards any intruders in her vicinity, launching quickly into one of three main attack patterns.

Combat

The Snow Queen rarely walks, instead flying on a saucer-shaped sled of magical ice blocks. The sled serves a powerful defense, both moving the Queen up and out of range of close-range attacks, while blocking any ranged attacks made from below. To successfully attack the Snow Queen, you must anticipate her movements, attacking only when she moves close enough that you can get around the ice sled.

Summon Ice Crystals

Her usual first attack is to test the mettle of intruders by summoning a half dozen large animated snowflakes. The snowflakes move slowly towards their target, dealing 5 () damage on contact. They are individually less threatening than a Zombie, but in groups can often overwhelm attackers. These Ice Crystals have 10 () health each.

Downward Slam

If her snowflakes fail, the Snow Queen tries a slightly more direct form of attack, using her flying sled as a weapon. She moves to a position above her target, and then slams the sled downwards, usually breaking through a floor level or two in the process. She may try this attack several times in a row.

Ice Magic

Her third form of attack, reserved only for worthy opponents, is ice magic. She flies low enough to be on the same level as an opponent, and then launches a spray of damaging snowflakes ahead of her. While her low flight pattern presents many opportunities to attack, be careful, as the ice magic is extremely damaging.

Treasures

The Snow Queen has few treasures, dropping either the Tri-bow or the Seeker Bow as well as a Snow Queen Trophy. She also drops some Packed Ice and Snowballs.

If the mod Immersive Engineering is installed, the Snow Queen will also drop a Twilit Twilight Shader Grabbag and a Twilit Shader: Snow Queen.

Progression

While using the Progression system, the entire Glacier is protected by an ice storm, and the Aurora Palace and monsters are protected by magic. Players must defeat the Alpha Yeti to surpass this protection.

Defeating the Snow Queen will fully complete the Snowy Forest Phase of Progression. If the Snow Queen was the last of the three bosses to defeat, the Highlands shall be unlocked.
