How to Get Mourning Frost in BG3
In order to obtain Mourning Frost, you must first discover and combine its three pieces! The Staff is broken in the following parts:
- Icy Crystal
- Ice Helve
- Icy Metal
You can collect all three by completing certain tasks or defeating specific enemies in the Underdark during the first Act of Baldur’s Gate 3. There are several ways you can enter the Underdark in BG3, with the easiest being through the Whispering Depths or the Goblin Camp.

Where to Find Icy Crystal in BG3
You can obtain Icy Crystal by defeating Filro the Forgotten. You can find Filro in the Western part of Underdark near the Sussur Tree and its waypoint. Filro will attack you on sight along with a few Hook Horror creatures. Defeat and loot him to get the first part of the Mourning Frost Staff.

Where to Find Icy Helve in BG3
You can find Icy Helve by defeating and looting another Drow, Dhourn, near the Selunite Outpost. When you reach the area shown on the map, use Basilisk Oil(found in the Cellar in Blighted village and other areas) on the petrified Drow. This will initiate a fight with a beholder. The Beholder will use other petrified Drow in the area to attack you, one of which is Dhourn. Kill him during the fight or after(he will attack you either way) and loot him to get the second part of the Staff.

Where to Find Icy Metal in BG3
Finally you can get Icy Metal from the Pale Corpse in the Myconid Colony! The easiest way to gain access to this locked area is by accepting the Myconid Leader’s request to kill the Duergar in the beach. Once you have killed them all, return to the Myconid and gain access to the area. Loot the Pale Corpse to get Icy Metal. Next to the Corpse you will find the Shadow of Menzoberranzan Head Armor Piece as well, which is excellent for stealthy Builds like an Assassin Rogue!

All three Drow will also share hints for the Adamantine Forge, which you can find in the next Underdark area, the Grymforge! The Adamantine Forge is a legendary forge where you can create strong Weapons and Armors with the right materials. Now that you have all three pieces in your inventory, right click on them and select the combine option. Place all three in the combine layout and you will get the Mourning Frost Staff in your inventory.
