Odin: Valhalla Rising – How to Unlock the Secret Frost Wolf Mount
Aug-06-2025 PSTIn Odin: Valhalla Rising, few mounts turn heads like the mystical Frost Wolf — a rare, icy-blue beast that’s both a status symbol and Odin Diamonds a practical advantage for traversal. Unlike regular mounts available via quests or shops, the Frost Wolf must be unlocked through a sequence of secret tasks, elite battles, and exploration across Midgard and Jotunheim. This guide walks you through every step needed to obtain this legendary mount.
What is the Frost Wolf Mount?
The Frost Wolf is a large, spectral wolf with glowing blue eyes and frost-covered fur. It boasts:
+20% movement speed
+10% stamina regeneration
Cold resistance buff
A unique howl animation
More importantly, it shows you’ve mastered part of Odin’s hidden content.
Step 1: Reach Level 60 and Unlock Jotunheim
Before you can begin the Frost Wolf questline, you must:
Reach Level 60
Complete the main Midgard storyline
Unlock access to Jotunheim via the Bifrost Gate
Tips to reach Level 60 quickly:
Focus on daily dungeons and elite boss raids
Join a guild for EXP bonuses
Use XP scrolls from the marketplace or login rewards
Once you're 60 and Jotunheim is available, head there to begin the questline.
Step 2: Locate the Hidden NPC in Frostfang Pass (Jotunheim)
The Frost Wolf quest does not appear in your quest log unless triggered manually.
How to find the NPC:
Travel to Frostfang Pass, a snowy region in northeastern Jotunheim
Coordinates: X:421 Y:678
Look for a frozen cave entrance behind a waterfall
Inside, you'll find Eira the Frost-Seer, a ghostly NPC who gives the first cryptic quest:
“Tame the Cold: Prove your strength to the beasts of winter.”
Accept it to initiate the mount chain.
Step 3: Defeat 3 Winter Beasts
You must slay three powerful world monsters that represent the spirit of winter:
Glacial Sabretooth – Midgard, Icehowl Den
Spawns every 6 hours
Weak to fire attacks
Drops Sabretooth Claw
Frostwing Roc – Jotunheim, Skycrack Peak
Spawns every 12 hours
Avoid its aerial frost breath
Drops Roc’s Frozen Feather
Whitehide Yeti – Jotunheim, Ymir’s Spine
Spawns only during snowstorms
High HP and stun attacks
Drops Yeti’s Heart Shard
Each kill must be soloed or in a party where you get last-hit credit.
Step 4: Offer the Beast Totems at the Frost Shrine
Once you have:
Sabretooth Claw
Frozen Feather
Heart Shard
Return to Eira’s cave. She’ll instruct you to visit the Frost Shrine, located at:
Glacier Hollow, north of Jotunheim
At the shrine, interact with the altar to offer the items. This unlocks the next step: Trial of the Ancients.
Step 5: Complete the Trial of the Ancients
This is a timed solo challenge — a combat gauntlet with three waves of enemies:
Ice Spirits – Weak mobs, swarming attacks
Frost Revenants – Elites that cast AoE freeze spells
Spirit of the Frost Wolf – A mini-boss version of the mount
Tips:
Equip cold-resistance runes
Use DoT (damage-over-time) abilities to outlast frost armor phases
Bring stamina potions – you can't mount or heal during the trial
Upon completion, you’ll receive the Frost Wolf Sigil.
Step 6: Solve the Howling Stone Puzzle
To prove yourself worthy of taming the Frost Wolf, head to the Howling Stones, a circle of standing stones located in:
Wailing Glacier, southeast Jotunheim
There, interact with the stones in the correct order. The hint lies in the inscription on the Frost Wolf Sigil:
“First the fang, then the breath, last the heart.”
Correct order:
Stone with wolf fang symbol
Stone with frost breath swirl
Stone with cracked heart icon
If done correctly, a cutscene plays where a spirit wolf appears, growls approvingly, and vanishes — leaving behind the Frost Wolf Whistle.
Final Step: Summon and Register Your Frost Wolf
Go to your Mount Menu, and click “Register New Mount”. Use the Frost Wolf Whistle to register it.
Congratulations! You can now summon your Frost Wolf Mount any time. It has unique idle animations, including:
Howling at the sky during snow
Pawing ice into the air
Frost breath effects when idle
Optional Bonus: Frost Wolf Skins
After unlocking the mount, speak to Eira again. She now offers cosmetic upgrades for the mount:
Midnight Frost – Black and blue fur, requires Shadow Ice Crystal x10
Runic Alpha – Engraved armor plating, requires Ancient Rune Stones x5
These can be obtained from:
Seasonal events
