How to unlock the Freezer Burn achievement in God of War III - Definitive Guide

Story Related Trophy. Cannot be Missed.

To get this trophy, you have to defeat a giant scorpion at the top of the Caverns. The Boreas Icestorm will be available on the ground after you have finished off the scorpion.

Welcome to the Onyx Scorpion fight. This is is relatively easy if you can corner it and go to work on its legs with the Nemean Cestus. Anyways, on to the strategy.

At the very beginning of this fight, you'll find that the scorpion will jump up on to the platform you're standing on and throw you into its mouth. Repeatedly tap and to break free of its grasp. When you're free, go around to one side of the scorpion (I recommend the right side) and equip the Nemean Cestus. Now start pounding away at the onyx legs of this giant arachnid. Make sure to watch out for the small scorpions crawling about. They are easily taken care of but are an annoying distraction. Also, be aware of the giant scorpion's tail smash attack. It will raise its tail in the air and wave it around for a second and then smash it down, trying to hit you. This will take a fair amount of health from you if it hits you.

Keep working away at the legs on one side of the body until the scorpion falls to the ground. Now you can go up to its face and punch away. Eventually, you'll start ripping out its teeth. Continue to assault the scorpion in this manner until it throws you over the side of the platform.

Now you have to fly back up to the platform. This is just like previous flying sections where you have avoid the falling debris. Evade to the left and right to avoid getting hit as you make you way back to the giant scorpion.

Complete the QTE to finally kill the scorpion. When the scorpion has turned completely in to onyx, punch it a few more times with the Nemean Cestus to shatter it in to pieces. Now go up to the remains of the stinger and shatter it as well. The Boreas Icestorm will appear on the ground in front of you. Press to pick it up and acquire the trophy and The Boreas Icestorm. Congrats.

Check out the video below to see how it's done. Credit to PowerPyx.

If Scorpio seemed difficult to you on Titan. Here's an easy way to kill him:

In the first phase of the battle, we hit the left paws (or the right ones, it doesn’t matter) to the limit (but don’t hammer them), leave them “ready” and begin to completely destroy the right ones. And so, in the 2nd phase of the battle, which is of course more difficult, you only have to hit the remaining limbs once .
