There are plenty of ways to build your magic users in Baldur’s Gate 3, but if it’s cold damage you’re after, then crafting the Mourning Frost quarterstaff is a must. Here’s how to get Icy Metal, Icy Heave, and Icy Crystal in Baldur’s Gate 3 to craft the Mourning Frost.
What Are Icy Crystal, Icy Metal, and Icy Helve in Baldur’s Gate 3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are three materials called Icy Crystal, Icy Metal, and Icy Helve, which you can collect to make the Mourning Frost Staff.

However, you can only find one of each material in the game, and you need all three to craft the staff.
