Revision as of 06:46, 13 November 2018

Cold resistance is a fairly important resistance to have. It will protect against most cold attacks and reduce slipping on ice. However, most cold attacks will still freeze potions, destroying them.

Cold resistance is fairly easy to obtain through eating corpses. White dragons provide cold resistance, as do most "cold" monsters, like blue jellies and winter wolves. The Valkyrie starts out with intrinsic cold resistance, being from the frigid Northlands. Monks get cold resistance at XL 13. Any character may gain resistance by crowning. Wearing white dragon scale mail or a ring of cold resistance also provides you with cold resistance, and so does wielding Frost Brand.

Sources

Intrinsic cold resistance can be obtained from eating the following corpses and globs:

brown mold vegan 2 3%
