God Of War Ragnarok: What Is Frosted Health?
Click to enlargeFrosted health bars appear as another layer on top of an enemy's traditional health bar. Instead of the usual green bar, you'll see a pale blue pattern stretch across the length of the bar, indicating that this enemy has frosted health. Think of it like a shield layer of health that you have to break through before chipping away at the enemy's actual health.
If you attack frosted health enemies with the Leviathan Axe, then you're not going to get very far. The weapons in God of War Ragnarok have elemental effects, with the Leviathan Axe freezing things and the Blades of Chaos torching everything they touch. To whittle down an enemy's frosted health bar, you must attack them with the Blades of Chaos. Once you've broken through the frosted health barrier, you will be able to chip away at the enemy with whichever weapon you like.

For example, the Leviathan Axe will drain red health bars, while the Draupnir Spear will get rid of silver health bars.
