The Ice Amulet is a weapon in Orcs Must Die! and Orcs Must Die! 2.

Orcs Must Die![]

The Ice Amulet is unlocked at the start of the 14th Rift Fortress: The Balcony.

Characteristics[]

The Ice Amulet uses the least amount of Mana of all spells, making it a very effective snare. The primary attack shoots five ice bolts, horizontally aligned, divided over an arc of 12°. This makes the attack difficult to aim at long ranges, but can be as deadly at the same time, hitting multiple enemies at once. It will freeze all but resistant targets for three seconds. Frozen enemies take double damage.

The Secondary attack unleashes a large blast of Area Of Effect at point blank range. Although it does no damage, it freezes all but resistant targets for nine seconds.

Upgrades[]

Strategy[]

The freezing effect can be used to stop the movement of enemies, leaving them vulnerable to finishing attacks. The effect combines well with traps as the Arrow Wall or the Swinging Mace. The Ice Amulet is very useful against strong enemies like the Gnoll Hunter and Ogre. The Ice damage does bonus damage to all Fire-type enemies.

Hellbats and Fire Babies will instantly die by the freezing effect on all difficulties. Making it possible to kill them with the secondary attack.

Orcs Must Die! 2[]

The Ice Amulet returns in Orcs Must Die! 2. This time, it will be unlocked by progressing through the story. Unlike in Orcs Must Die!, the amulet fires only three projectiles by default.

Upgrades[]

  • Leveling (3x): Adds an additional ice projectile to primary attack. (5/7/9)
  • Unique 1: Enemies frozen by secondary attack are left chilled after they thaw.
  • Unique 2: Enemies frozen by secondary attack take additional damage.
