Where to find Celus Zend, The Mourning Winter in Salt and Sacrifice
- Can be found at Ashbourne Village.
- Chase Sequence: Celus Zend can initially be found far west at the main pathway in Ashbourne Village. He will then teleport eastwards, closing in on the main western Obelisk and the gatehouse building. Afterwards, he will start heading back west again. Follow him and when he disappears once more and the elemental trails are pointing up and to the east, he can be found inside the building where the frozen corpse you used to initiate the hunt is. Be careful in here as space is tight and he will be filling the room with his summons. After one final teleport, exit the building from the east and climb up the long ladder to initiate the Boss Fight.

Strategy Writeup
The biggest challenge with Celus Zend is when he uses the Icicle Storm. It can be difficult to keep track of his attacks while being bombarded by the cloud's icicles. When he performs this move, create some distance between yourself and the boss and allow the cloud to approach you. Roll through it to trick it into going in the other direction and then stay away again until it dissipates. It may be too difficult to get hits in while the cloud is active so exercise patience and focus on avoiding damage instead. He can also summon Icicle Storms while another one is still active.
His Rapier attacks are very easy to avoid and the Dashing Thrust in particular has a good amount of recovery time where you can get a couple of hits in. Always be ready to roll through his thrust, turn around and counter. Another good opportunity for attacking is when he raises his hands to summon the Ice Orbs but watch out for where they form. Get behind him immediately as he raises his hands as it doesn't seem like he conjures the orbs behind him. His Icicle Throw move requires some precision timing in order to punish but is generally another good opening.
Once his HP is depleted, he will fall onto his knees allowing you to devour his heart and end the encounter.
Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Counter |
| Rapier Combo | Celus Zend conjures a Frost Rapier and performs a diagonal forward lunge followed by a downward slash. Both hits are easy enough to outrange. You can also roll behind him during the lunge. |
| Rapier Dashing Thrust | Celus Zend conjures his Rapier in a low position near his leg and then dashes forward a great length while thrusting with the sword. Roll through his legs as he approaches to avoid the attack. |
| Icicle Throw | Celus Zend conjures three Icicles that target the player and then fly towards them after a short delay. A well-timed jump will cause them to miss and fly straight into the ground. Alternatively, roll through them as they approach. However, due to their staggered positioning, jumping is the safer option. |
| Ice Orbs | Celus Zend raises his hands up high to his sides and creates several orbs of ice in the air. These orbs do not move but will deal damage and knock players back far away on contact. You can roll through the ones close to the ground. These orbs will disappear after a short duration. |
| Icicle Storm | Celus Zend brings his hands together and conjures a cloud of ice up high. It paces back and forth slowly while raining icicles downwards along its path. Stay ahead of the cloud whichever way it is moving. |
