Strategy

Ice warriors have good accuracy and can cut through Ranged and Magic armour with ease. They also seem to have higher levels of aggression than many other mobs as they'll often engage the player from a rather long distance. If using melee, wearing at least adamant or rune armour and using high quality food is advised.

Fire spells are extremely strong against ice warriors. Using fire bolt with chaos gauntlets is an economical option and gives you a max hit of 30. If you receive ice warriors as a Slayer task, using your best fire spell will most likely be the fastest way to complete the task.

In the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon, they can be safespotted by trapping an ice warrior on one side of a plus-shaped formation of rocks (not to be confused with the floor ice spikes) in the north-western area of their room.

At the White Wolf Mountain they can be safespotted south of the middle dungeon marker outside of the triple ladder enclosure, though there are level 25 and 38 wolves which will be aggressive unless the player's combat level exceeds double their level.

Safespot at the plus-shaped rock formations in the **Asgarnian Ice Dungeon**. Stand in the north-west corner.
