Aasveig of Apaltoft

Aasveig of Apaltoft is an optional boss in Elden Ring and one of the Skalds of Haften.

Description
Aasveig is a tall, grim-looking lady who wears full plated armour frosted with ice with a Greatshield and Spear. Out of the visor of her helmet comes her icy breath doomed to eternally freeze anyone who dares to step in the path of it. Her Greatshield is marked with the faces of the unfortunate souls that have stumbled upon her domain only to be chilled into a feeble icicle that can shatter in a quick swipe of the hand.

Location
Aasveig of Apaltoft is the first boss of Haften's Court.

Lore
Aaseig of Apaltoft was once a great knight of high renown of the land of Apaltoft. She was born of the line of Apali which shares the genetic trait of being able to freeze anything in sight of a person of the line of Apali. Their skin is so cold that air freezes on their skin and anything that touches their skin also freezes. Anyway, she fought to protect the her house, Apaltoft from the other waring houses until the Elden Ring broke for some reason. When the Elden Ring, broke her armor melded with her body and she went insane she killed everyone she saw and was locked in the hallway entrance in Haften's court to prevent her killing spree. She waits there for a worthy opponent to come kill her and free her from her curse.

Strategy
Right as you come into the boss room she lunges toward you with her spear. It is pretty easy to dodge if you just dodge behind her.

She can also walk up to you with her shield up and stab you from behind her shield.

She has two spear combos one with three consecutive attacks and another with two which if you keep about your wits are easy to dodge.

She can freeze you at will when you see her. This attack makes the fight almost impossible unless you shoot her in the eyes before hand.

When you get hit your frost threshold hold will go up and if it reaches maximum you will be frozen and take continuous frost damage while Aasveig attacks you until the frost timer runs out.

Frost resistant armor is very useful in this boss fight.

Aasveig's most dangerous combo is her summon into her shield bash. This is signaled by her kneeling, causing two Icy Thralls to rise from the ground next to her. As the Icy Thralls leap to attack you, she also lunges forward with her greatshield, knocking down everything in her way. This attack cannot be blocked.
