Ice Wraith

Ice Wraiths are fast frost spirits haunting Skyrim's coldest corners. Where to find them, why fire wins, and their alchemy loot.

Ice Wraiths are serpent-like frost spirits that zip around you far too fast for comfort, biting with cold that drains both health and stamina. They’re immune to frost, so bring something warmer.

Where to find them

The cold north: the wilderness of Winterhold and the Pale, the northern coasts of Solstheim, and in the Midden beneath the College of Winterhold. They also like ancient sites such as the Serpent Stone and Bonechill Passage.

Abilities & attacks

  • Ice Bite – drains health and stamina over time
  • Very fast, circles its target
  • Can move over water

How to beat it

Use fire spells or a fire-enchanted weapon. Since it circles so fast, area spells and runes work well – despite floating, wraiths still trigger runes on the ground.

Loot & harvestables

Ice Wraith Teeth
Ice Wraith Essence
