The Mr. Freeze Boss Fight is perhaps one of the first major boss fights in Gotham Knights after following a series of side quests and challenges. Although Mr. Freeze has a limited move set, the fight can get extremely hard and tricky if you’re not well prepared. But we’ll get you up and running, so you don’t have any trouble.
One of the main things to keep in mind is the fact that elemental damage and momentum abilities are going to be your secret weapon for making the fight easier. When you’re at the right level and get the relevant abilities, it’ll almost feel like you’re cheesing the fight throughout all three phases.
- Mr. Freeze is a side quest boss in Gotham Knights, the fight is divided into three different phases.
- His move set primarily focuses on the use of his ice beams and melee attacks.
- Incendiary weapons and Cryogenic Resistant armor work best against Mr. Freeze.
- Your main strategy should be to use the momentum-piercing ability to chip away large portions of his health.
How To Beat Mr. Freeze

Build Your Momentum Bar

The most important thing that you need to do while fighting Mr. Freeze is to keep your momentum bar topped up. The best method for doing so is to keep using your ranged weapons at him, especially if you’re playing as Batgirl.
When Mr. Freeze is charging up his beam blast, you can keep attacking with ranged weapons and avoid at the last moment. When he’s preparing for his jetpack leap, you can start shooting at him. But the best place to build up momentum is when he’s using his tracer explosives. He remains in place for two or three seconds, making it the best opportunity to just spam projectiles at him.
Use Piercing Ability

Red hood, Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl all have different abilities. But Batgirl has one that concentrates all the damage into one focused blow, making it great for bosses like Mr. Freeze. The best time to use the ability is after Mr. Freeze lands, and his ice spikes disappear. You can immediately use the piercing ability to deal damage.
Keep The Pressure

After that, all you need to do is just rinse and repeat. It might take up to two piercing ability hits and follow-up attacks to cause Mr. Freeze to go into the next phase. By just using the one simple attack pattern and avoiding all other attacks, you’ll be able to finish the fight in no time.
Mr. Freeze Move Set
In order to be better prepared against Mr. Freeze, it’s useful to know his move set and how to counter them accordingly so that you don’t get caught in a surprise combo chain. Most of his moves are easy to predict, and there’s nothing that can one-shot you, which does make the fight forgiving. But being hit too many times can run you out of your health packs pretty quickly.
Beam Shot

Referring to the image above, the left most is him starting up the attack and the middle image is right before he’s about to fire. You’ll also be able to figure out that the beam is about to be fired by the sound.
In the right most image, you can see the beam in action. It doesn’t have a wide of an area, so a simple dodge should be enough to avoid taking any damage.
But once you get comfortable with dodging the beam and the timing, you can actually close up the distance and land a few light hits of your own while Mr. Freeze is charging up the beam. Not only will that lower his health, but it will help in building up your momentum bar, which is essential for the fight.
Jetpack Launch And Land

Even if you’re in the dead center of the area, you can still make it out if you’re fast enough. Simply sprint or dodge twice to get out of the area.

When he’s in the ice spikes, he usually performs either one of two attacks: the Beam Shot or the Tracing Explosives.
Tracing Explosives

But once the circles are locked, they stop tracing you, and you can dodge out of the way. In fact, Mr. Freeze takes so long to recover from the attack that if you’re fast enough, you can reach him and land a few hits.
The best thing that you can do when Mr. Freeze is charging up his attack is to keep throwing your projectiles at him while closing the distance. That will allow you to build up your momentum meter and get close enough for melee attacks.
Melee Attacks

The main and most dangerous melee attack that he can use against you is the one that he does while directly facing you. He swings his weapon from the top right in a downward slice. It is faster than his other attacks, and the dodging window is quite short for it.
That’s why you should try to position yourself behind Mr. Freeze while landing melee attacks constantly. Or, be mentally prepared to dodge when hitting directly from the front.
Freeze Beam


Avoiding the freeze beam isn’t as easy as the other one. If you jump out of the way, Mr. Freeze will make the beam follow you. That’s why you need to keep sprinting on the side to avoid the beam. If you do get hit by the beam, you’ll get frozen in place. And if you don’t break out immediately, Mr. Freeze will follow up with a heavy melee attack that’ll deplete a lot of health.
The attack only appears in phase two and three, and not in phase one. In fact, he tries using the attack twice early on in the second phase.
Phase Changing Attacks
There are three different phases for the Mr. Freeze fight in Gotham Knights. And as you’re switching from one to the other, there’s various attacks that you need to dodge in order to survive. You’ll know that the phase is about to change when Mr. Freeze has blue aura around him and jumps to the disruptor and weather machine.
Moving Beam

Ice Rain

Eventually, Mr. Freeze will come back down for the next phase. In case you die after changing phases, you won’t spawn all the way at the start, but at the start of whichever phase you died in.
Loadout And Character Recommendations

Character
As mentioned, you can choose whatever character that you really want if you’re comfortable and well-skilled with them. But one of the better characters in Gotham Knights for the Mr. Freeze fight is Batgirl due to her momentum build-up and momentum-piercing ability.
Loadout

- Armor: Your armor should be cryogenic resistant to avoid taking as much damage as possible. There’s usually a blue snowflake logo with the armor piece to indicate that it’s resistant.
- Weapon: The weapon that you need to use should definitely be an incendiary weapon to deal the most amount of elemental damage on Mr. Freeze. If you don’t have one, then just choose something with high damage. But no matter what, don’t use a cryogenic weapon against Mr. Freeze, as he’s resistant, and your damage will be relatively lesser.
- Ranged Weapons: If you have elemental damage on your ranged that it’ll be quite effective as we’ll be using the ranged weapon often to build up momentum.
Keeping all those points in mind, here’s the best loadout for Batgirl, as shown in the image above. By the time you’re taking on Mr. Freeze, hopefully, you’ll be around level 12 and will be able to use all of the gear shown above.
The Cryogenic Suit works great for reducing incoming damage. But if you’re constantly on the offense and following the laid-out strategies for each attack, you likely won’t even take much damage in general. But if you’re struggling, you can equip the armor with a health mod.
Your melee weapon matters the most. If it’s strong enough, you’ll be able to end the phase without having to deal with too many of Mr. Freeze’s attacks. The Modular Incendiary Tonfa is great for that. You can and should equip it with two mods. One to increase the elemental damage and the other to increase critical damage.
Finally, you can get any sort of ranged weapon. Our ranged weapon will be important for building momentum; you shouldn’t really expect to deal any significant damage.
With that, you know the best and fastest way of defeating Mr. Freeze in Gotham Knights. Our guide mainly focused on how you can defeat him using Batgirl. But if you use any other character and follow the basic principles, then you should have an easy time with the fight as well!
