First Phase[edit]

Quick Strike
A basic melee attack dealing low physical damage.
Ice Shot
A basic ranged attack dealing low frost damage.
Ice Trap
The icereaver slams their weapon on the ground, creating a long rectangular AoE that deals continuous low frost damage and repeatedly traps affected targets with ice shards.
Frost Maul
The icereaver slowly spins around then slams its weapon on its target, dealing high frost damage and trapping them in place for three seconds. Blocking this attack puts the icereaver off-balance and negates the freeze. Use dodge roll to escape the trap if struck.

Freezing Growl
Sister Balra growls with her ice-cold breath, indicated by a long conal AoE. If you are caught, you become frozen and receive constant damage, unless you break free.
Earthquake Slam
Sister Balra winds up her fists before slamming them into the ground, sending out a large shockwave, dealing damage and knocking you down. The process is indicated by a massive, building circular AoE.

Follow Goharth Ironbelly through the tunnels and you'll eventually find him, but he's on the floor above you. Before you can reach him, you'll witness the following encounter:

Sister Balra: "Were you followed, Ironbelly?"
Goharth Ironbelly: "There was an incident, but I took care of it, Sister Balra."
Sister Balra: "And have the arrangements I requested been made?"
Goharth Ironbelly: "The fliers have been distributed. And your friend with the fangs?"
Sister Balra: "Busy, I'm afraid."
Goharth Ironbelly: "You promised a vampire would turn me! Make good on our deal or I'll report this to the jarl!"
Sister Balra: "You'll do nothing of the sort."

Goharth falls dead on the grating:

Sister Balra: "Greedy fool outlived his usefulness."

The Coven Conundrum[edit]

When you arrive at the dungeon with Lyris, you will find the captured Skald-King in the grasp of Sister Balra's ritual:

Lyris Titanborn: "Leave the Skald-King alone, witch!"
Sister Balra: "Jorunn is ours! He will make a fine addition to our patron's forces!"

She will then fight you with a greatsword and ice magic. As the fight goes on, Balra will use the ace up her sleeve:

Sister Balra: "Enough of this! Now you will die!"

Sister Balra will then transform into a Werewolf Behemoth and summon werewolf skeletons to her aid.
