Cold as fire

Anyone had any luck with that one?
It needs 100k frosts as exterminator.
ktried a full frosto run with conversions to autos and barely reached 70k
Might be able to do it in a greed run but need some tips on a build cause that place doesnt ♥♥♥♥ around...

You can also do this on Forgotten Viaduct w/o Hastening Sands and abuse the Wraith Wall.

You could also use the Mountain Idol Artifact for tanky enemies, where you can apply tons of stacks on them.

Cheers!

I don't recall what a Frost Dragon Helm does, but for me it was the green quality Frost Ring that gives main weapon +50% Frost Chance.
That paired with the Range+Area green hat. I finished the achievement well before stage end.

I forgot if I resorted to the Viaduct for the marching ghosts for more frost stacks or just Ember Grounds for the combination of decent quantity enemies that can take a few hits.
Pretty sure I did use the giant stone heads artifact for more enemies to build Frost stacks on too.

You dont need it that badly.
You can also use Windcrown to boost your Attack Speed.
Norseman's Main Weapon and Hailstorm will do the heavy lifting for you.
