Caught my first Frostallion.

[Heart In Light]

I...fought it being level 46. Used 800 AR ammo. 400 Shotgun shots from my pump shotgun. Luckily, my fire bird was super tanky, and his fire dot really carried me. Fight went on forever. Thank God for galewind movement, without it, i woulda been dead multiple times over.

Still had to switch them out perodically, my 2 rank 1 jormuntide ignis, were almost getting 1 shot at lvl 45 and 42, but my fire bird level 3 had like 600 defense. And he just kept tanking shots to the face. What a champion, he's my go to vs ice stuff now. Just wanted to share, it was an epic battle.

Yeah, the first time you bring them down and/or catch them is, exhilarating. I love the legendary fights.

Congrats! Status effects are MvP endgame, I wish that they hadn't nerfed the weapons against legendaries that much.

Catch and summon is now officially illegal.

But catch to kill is legal! Butcher Frostallion today!

Frostallion is good fun. Challenging while you're learning it, and rewarding once you work out the attack patterns and the roll windows. Doing it at 46 would have been painful with the damage mitigation, solid effort.

I recommend using the fire and poison bows or crossbows for the fight (and for any legendary fight before acquiring a decent-quality rocket launcher). The burn/poison DoTs scale linearly as a percentage value of the pal's max health, making them amazingly good DPS against legendaries and other bosses when you're underlevelled/undergeared. The hits to trigger each debuff scale up hard after a while, but you should easily be able to get half of its health bar off with the DoTs alone before it becomes properly tedious to reapply them. Each debuff also increases your capture rate, so you can proc them one last time each around 2.2k health in preparation to catch it and finish the fight.
