Final Boss of the Viking Stronghold

Asvald is the only source of Frozen Crown Shards — the blacksmith might know what to do with them, and the Dungeonmaster is said to want the finished Frozen Crown.
Asvald's Axe is his own signature weapon — a rare (5%) drop mirroring the fight itself: Aqua Slash (8 damage) on left-click, an Aqua Smash ice barrage (up to 21 damage, 15s cooldown) on right-click, a Water Wave (8 damage, launches foes, 5s cooldown) on shift-right-click, and a Frozen Sword Rain (25 damage, 15s cooldown) on shift-left-click.
