==Tips and Tricks==
*Cryo's Hailstorm is possible to dodge if you run away from Cryo while running in a zig-zag pattern and jumping at the same time. You may catch a couple strays like this, but that's what your gear is for. (a Fusion Coil may be worse for this as you could get hit more, but it still works fine).
*Some form of Iron Armor is pretty much mandatory, as it's hailstorm can wear down your HP quickly. Cryoide Armor is good if you can make it, though Spiked Iron Armor or Plated Iron Armor does just fine. Steel Armor is the better option as it protects against Sharp and other types of damage better than Cryoide Armor.
*A Speed Coil/Fusion Coil in your off hand and some form of healing like a Regen Coil or a Regen Cube are also mandatory for the same reason, with Speed Coil being exceptionally good for this fight. You can also use a Defense Coil as a replacement for a shield.
*Use Flame type damage weapons, like a Goldfire Sword or any form of the Fiery Greatsword to make use of Cryo's weakness to fire (a Lava Greatsword is recommended because the fire lasts longer and has more durrability). Any ranged weapons like the Explosive Cube or a Impact Cube would work just fine, though do not use bombs since they are only 1 time use and they dont deal that much damage.
*Be sure to stay a safe distance away from Cryo's swing as if you get hit without parrying the attack/using a shield you can get frozen and knocked off the island. I recommend to try to hit her with the tip of the sword as to keep as much distance as possible.
*You can avoid being hit off of the island if you cover the sides up with barricades or walls, however be aware that these may break mid-fight (you can also make a bunch of Life Cubes and place them near the fight for life cubes can revive you and your stuff, keep one in your inventory at all times to make it work).
*Her Ice Minions can be maneuvered around using quick movements, hitting Cryo with the tip of your sword and moving away before the minions can hit you (a Fusion Coil helps with this because you can jump right after swinging).
*You can pretty much ignore the hailstorm as it isn't too threatening with good armor like Steel Armor, though it may be difficult to see with all of the blue and red particles.
*You can avoid Cryo's hailstorm by simply running away from her, while moving in a zig-zag and jumping at the same time. You can do this between Hammerdom's island (or a ring 3 tower island next to Cryo's island) and Cryo's island switching between them. When the hailstorm is on cooldown and Cryo is near you, you can get 1-3 hits depending on how fast you are, then run away again, repeating this same process.
* Cryo's ability timing is very important. You want it to activate the spikes at about the same time as the hailstorm (they have the same cooldown). You can do this by timing the attack on Cryo precisely so that the fire damage ticks down below 25% as it uses hailstorm (A Goldfire Sword or Fiery greatsword does about 0.06% worth of fire damage per second). Having good ability timing makes the fight less of a headache as you can use the same strategy as phase 4 just a little tighter. Having BAD ability timing though, it will be a LOT more difficult to attack Cryo with a melee weapon as there is less time where it is not using powerful abilities. You can try to correct the timing by running far enough away from her so that she can't use her spikes. 
*Make sure to have backup players/armor (depending on if you are playing solo or in a public server) if you die in this fight. If you're solo and dont have a backup, you can try using red cube and running in a zig zag (if phase 3 and over) in an attempt to rush past Cryo and grab your stuff. This is a very inconsistent strategy though.
* If one focus of the fight is to get as many Cryoide Crystals as possible, you can use Caltrops (flaming or a mix with rusted can do) to kill off Cryo's minions. This can also work with the boss itself, although it is not recommended as it is quite dangerous and makes you take extra damage from the Caltrops itself.
==Trivia== 
* She is the only boss to drop 2 different items that both have offensive abilities. 
** One of those items, Cryo's Arm, is the only item to grant whoever wields it the bosses attacks. The item was nerfed at some point.
**The other item is the Ice Greatsword, which can freeze enemies making them completely immobile.
* She is one of the other three bosses that can spawn minions, the other being Raider Brute and HAMMERDOOM.
* She is one of two bosses to have an Explosive attack (excluding Pyro's Phase 2 explosion as it is more of a transition rather than an attack) Cube Destroyer can spawn cubes that deal 6 Sharp + Explosive damage if stepped on.
* Cryo's pathfinding can be messed up by the Cryo minion drops, causing her to get stuck on the drops. This can be annoying because it can be harder to get close to her, and it might mess up the timing if you're not close enough to her so she can use Ice spikes.
* Cryo's minions don't actually hold an Ice Sword, they instead use "IceMinionSword" which is a worse version of the ice sword.
*Cryo was originally easier, but ended up being buffed because of complaints about her being easier than Hammerdom.
*Cryo is currently the only female boss in the game.
*Cryo is NOT Pyro's sister, nor are they actually related.
