Winter Tree Fossil Mobs & Mechanics
Komau
Komau paints a blue circle on the ground during a continuous AOE attack.
Quickly get out of the blue area and destroy the Komau.
Breukia
Spawns with an alert: “A strong energy emanates from the Winter Tree Fossil.”
Breukia can also spawn as a larger elite mob, with the alert, “A very powerful energy emanates from the Winter Tree Fossil.”
Takium
Spawns with an alert: “Takium brimming with chilling energies is found in the dark winter tree fossil”
Takium slowly makes his way from the outside to the center tree fossil.
If you do not kill him before he reaches the center, he does heavy damage and all surrounding monsters die.
Takium Lore: Takiums are rock-like creatures that are quite sensitive and short-tempered unlike what their gentle demeanor may suggest at first glance. They can even explode when they get angry. They’ve burnt many a Winter Tree to ashes. Even before the contamination of the Winter Trees, the villagers in Mountain of Eternal Winter used to avoid approaching Takiums.”
Takium self destructs doing heavy damage.

ok so im a bit confused does this place actually have the flame ? cause the in game guide doesnt show it. im just a bit confused is all, if i could get some confirmation id be very appreciative
Hello 🙂 This is the worst zone to find Flame of Frost since it only drops from a rare spawn there. Try Murrowak instead. More info: https://grumpygreen.cricket/murrowak/ Good luck!
I came here to find information about how often these “trees” respawns and then I saw this reply.
The flame can be dropped from any (I believe) of the mobs that spawns during this event or whatever you want to call it. Atleast I just got one, but I do not know what mob dropped it, but I did not have any Erebjork atleast, but maybe it was one of the elites, and those are not rare.
Does it available on consoles?
