'''Ice devils''' are [[cold]]-themed [[tier-3 demon]]s. Although they lack any form of ranged attack, their melee capabilities are extremely dangerous for low-level characters, dealing an additional 11-32 cold damage on top of their 1d16 physical attack. While they ignore most cold attacks, [[fire]] damage or weapons of [[holy wrath]] are very effective choices. They can be found in [[the Abyss]], [[Pandemonium]], the [[Hell]]s, or (dangerously early) in the [[Ice Cave]].

Useful Info

Ice devils are cold-themed tier-4 demons. For a low-level character, they are a tough melee opponent (16 + 7-23 cold damage). They can be found in the Abyss, Pandemonium, in and around Ice caves, or created by Summon Demon.

Tips & Tricks

  • When guarding the entrance to an Ice cave, or spawned by Summon Demon, they can appear dangerously early. While other monsters around mid-Dungeon can hit harder, ice devils have fairly good defenses, which makes it tough to win a melee fight.
  • Having cold resistance will take much of the sting out of their melee attacks.
