- The Tomb
Spells
| Spell set | |

| Slot2 | Bolt of Cold (3d30) |
| Slot3 | Invisibility |
| Slot4 | none |
| Slot5 | Iron Shot (3d36) |
| Slot6 | Invisibility |
Tips & Tricks
- Try to fight him at close range, as his melee attacks are far less painful than his spells, or at extreme long range, popping Freezing Cloud or Poisonous Cloud and then backing away. If you can hit him with a curare needle first, this kiting process will be even easier.
- While cold resistance will certainly help protect you from his Bolts of Cold, his Iron Shots are going to be a hazard regardless. Repel/Deflect Missiles will greatly reduce the threat from his spells, as will high evasion or a good shield.
- He's vulnerable to silence. Just be aware that the aura from a scroll will not be very large.
History
In 0.16, Frederick will be changed to a demigod and given a few other tweaks.
In early versions of DCSS, he was known as Adolf.
