Perfect

A rimewyk is a creature belonging to the unshelled reptiles faction, possessing icy jaws and a very potent Freeze Breath. It is commonly found in Bethesda Susa where its freezing capabilities combined with the cold atmosphere usually lead to creatures being frozen for several turns.

A rimewyk's icy jaws can be lethal despite its low physical damage, as it deals a high amount of cold damage on hit, ignoring AV. This can make its attacks more dangerous to creatures with low cold resistance, particularly those already vulnerable to attack from being frozen.

Strategies

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• You can escape being frozen by drinking heating liquids, such as asphalt or molten wax, detonating a thermal grenade from your inventory, or using Pyrokinesis on yourself; none of these actions are restricted while frozen. It is possible but not preferred to escape freezing by using a blaze injector as the -50 cold resist penalty will make the rimewyk's subsequent attacks more lethal.

• Having enough unshelled reptiles reputation lets you avoid fighting rimewyks entirely. Due to its neutral demeanor, an indifferent or higher faction status is enough for this; croccasins and items with the scaled mod are easy ways of doing this.

• High enough levels of cold resist can let you easily endure a rimewyk's breath and attacks. Some possible early-mid game sources include items made of ape fur (gloves, hats, cloaks), the wooly item mod, an elastyne skull cap, or mutations such as Carapace and Thick Fur. Freezing Ray will also drastically lower the player's freezing temperature, though it will not reduce cold damage itself.

• Lacking any of these options an encounter with a rimewyk can very easily be deadly to the player. Consider using any means available for avoiding it instead, such as Teleportation, Phasing or simply leaving the area before you're frozen.
