Ice Pals bring freezing attacks to the battlefield, giving them a natural advantage when you need to slow enemies down and control the pace of a fight.
Their ability to combine strong Ice damage with freezing effects makes them particularly useful against enemies that are difficult to keep at a safe distance.
If you have an Ice Pal that has become one of your main fighters, Ice Radiant Gems provide the material needed to awaken it and push its stats further.
Where To Get Ice Radiant Gem?
Ice Radiant Gems can be obtained by defeating specific Pals throughout the World Tree, with several Ice Pals providing a direct source while you explore the region.
The best approach is to focus on the confirmed Ice-type sources rather than wandering the World Tree hoping for random drops.
You can also build your supply through Expeditions, fishing, treasure chests, and the Ancient Relic Recycler when you are not actively hunting Pals.
World Tree Ice Pals
The following are Ice Pals that you can encounter throughout the World Tree and hunt down to obtain Ice Radiant Gems.
- Bastigor – Ice
- Elgrove Cryst – Ice
- Moldron Cryst – Ice/Ground (Field Boss)
- Univolt Cryst – Ice
Skutlass Ignis is the odd one out, as this Water/Fire Pal can also provide Ice Radiant Gems despite having no Ice typing.
Other Ways To Get Ice Radiant Gems
World Tree Expeditions can provide Ice Radiant Gems as rewards, allowing you to build your supply while your Pals handle expedition tasks.
Fishing throughout the World Tree can also reward Ice Radiant Gems, giving you another option while gathering resources around the region.
World Tree treasure chests can contain Ice Radiant Gems as well, giving you occasional rewards while exploring different areas.
Ancient Relics can also be processed through the Ancient Relic Recycler for a chance to obtain Ice Radiant Gems alongside its other rewards.
Ice Radiant Gem Uses
Ice Radiant Gems are primarily used to craft Ice Awakening Crystals, which are consumed to permanently strengthen compatible Ice Pals.
Each Ice Awakening Crystal requires 50 Ice Radiant Gems and 10 World Tree Holy Water, making the gems an important resource when preparing an Ice Pal for Awakening.
Using the crystal permanently increases the Pal’s Health, Attack, and Defense, while also giving the awakened Pal the distinctive golden aura associated with Awakening.
Verdict
Ice Radiant Gems are worth collecting if freezing enemies and controlling difficult fights are important parts of your endgame strategy.
The available Ice Pals give you several direct sources for the material, while the other World Tree activities provide extra opportunities to build your supply between hunts.
Once you have an Ice Pal you intend to keep using, turning those gems into an Awakening Crystal gives it the permanent stat boost needed to make it even more effective in difficult encounters.
