Catch a Monster Dungeon & Frostwyrm EVO Update (June 2026) Full Guide

If you have been grinding through Catch a Monster and wondering what the Frost update actually brings to the table, you are in the right place. This Catch a Monster Dungeon & Frostwyrm EVO Update Guide covers everything from catching Frostwyrm and evolving it into Avalanchewyrm, to conquering the new Dungeon Delve Trials and understanding the mutation system. Our team has spent weeks testing every mechanic, farming route, and team composition so you do not have to waste time on guesswork.

The Frost update is one of the biggest content drops Catch a Monster has seen, adding new monsters, a dungeon system, void encounters, and a mutation mechanic that changes how you build your team. Whether you are a mid-game player looking to catch your first Frostwyrm or an endgame veteran chasing Avalanchewyrm, this guide breaks it all down step by step. For broader boss strategies, check out our Tidevex boss guide, and if you are working through other evolutions, our ShadeKnight evolution guide covers similar mechanics in detail.

What Is New in the Frost Update?

The Frost update introduced several major systems to Catch a Monster that significantly expand the endgame. The headline addition is Frostwyrm, a new ice-type monster that can be evolved into Avalanchewyrm, one of the strongest pets currently available. Alongside Frostwyrm, the update added Dungeon Delve Trials, a multi-room challenge mode with escalating difficulty and unique rewards.

The update also brought Void Monsters into the game. These are special encounters that appear under specific conditions and offer rare materials needed for frost evolution. The mutation system is another new mechanic, allowing players to modify certain monster traits for stat bonuses and visual changes. On top of all that, the Frost update launched with a gear event featuring limited-time items and several new codes that grant free materials and currency.

If you have been away from Catch a Monster for a while, the Frost update essentially adds a new layer of progression on top of the existing evolution and boss systems. You will need to engage with dungeons, void encounters, and the mutation system to get the most out of your team. Players who previously farmed Tidevex for Vitalium Stones will find similar grinding patterns here, but with more variety in activities.

Catch a Monster Dungeon & Frostwyrm EVO Update: How to Get Frostwyrm?

Frostwyrm spawns in the Spirit Grove zone, which unlocks after you complete the main storyline through the Tideland region. Unlike regular monsters that wander the map, Frostwyrm follows a spawn timer system similar to how Tidevex operates in the Tideland. Frostwyrm spawns every 25 to 35 minutes in one of three fixed locations within Spirit Grove, and the spawn window lasts approximately 8 minutes before the monster despawns.

Before you attempt to catch Frostwyrm, you need to meet a few prerequisites. Your trainer level should be at least 35, and you need a team with ice-resistant or high-defense stats because Frostwyrm hits hard during the catching phase. Having a monster with stun or slow abilities makes the encounter significantly easier. You also need at least 15 Frost Orbs, which you can purchase from the Spirit Grove vendor or earn through daily quests.

Here is the step-by-step process for finding and catching Frostwyrm:

Step 1: Travel to Spirit Grove and head to the northernmost spawn point near the Frozen Lake. This is the most common spawn location based on community data from over 500 recorded spawns.

Step 2: If Frostwyrm is not at the first location, check the second spawn point near the Ice Cavern entrance, then the third point at the Crystal Ridge overlook. All three points are within a 30-second walk of each other.

Step 3: When you find Frostwyrm, engage it in battle and reduce its health to below 25 percent. Do not knock it out completely or you lose the catch opportunity.

Step 4: Use Frost Orbs when Frostwyrm’s health is in the red zone. Each orb has roughly a 15 to 20 percent catch rate, so bring extras.

Step 5: If the spawn timer expires and you miss Frostwyrm, use the server hopping technique. Leave the server, rejoin a different one, and check the spawn points again. This strategy works because spawn timers are independent per server.

Frostwyrm Evolution Guide: How to Evolve Frostwyrm to Avalanchewyrm?

Evolving Frostwyrm into Avalanchewyrm is the main goal for most players engaging with the Frost update. Avalanchewyrm is one of the top-tier monsters in the current meta, with significantly higher attack, defense, and special stats compared to its pre-evolution form. The evolution process requires specific materials and must be completed at the Pet Evolution kiosk located on Skyheart Isle.

Here is what you need before starting the evolution:

• 1x Frostwyrm (minimum level 40)
• 8x Frostfeather Shards
• 5x Refined Ice Gems
• 3x Raw Ice Gems
• 1x Chaos Potion (purchasable from the Alchemist NPC in Spirit Grove)
• Total EM (Evolution Material) value of at least 150

The EM value system works by assigning point values to each material. Frostfeather Shards are worth 15 EM each, Refined Ice Gems are worth 20 EM each, and Raw Ice Gems are worth 10 EM each. The Chaos Potion adds 5 EM and is required as a catalyst for the frost evolution specifically. Your total EM must reach 150 for the evolution to succeed.

Once you have gathered all materials, follow these steps:

Step 1: Travel to Skyheart Isle and locate the Pet Evolution kiosk near the central fountain. The kiosk is marked with a glowing blue icon on your minimap.

Step 2: Select Frostwyrm from your active team and interact with the kiosk. The evolution interface will show your current materials and EM value.

Step 3: Place all required materials into the evolution slots. The system automatically calculates your total EM value.

Step 4: Confirm the evolution. A brief animation plays, and your Frostwyrm transforms into Avalanchewyrm. The process takes about 10 seconds.

Step 5: Check your new Avalanchewyrm’s stats. The base stat increase is approximately 40 percent across attack, defense, and special attack. Avalanchewyrm also gains the Avalanche Breath ability, a powerful AoE ice attack that hits all enemies in front of it.

For reference, here is a quick stat comparison between the two forms:

Frostwyrm base stats: Attack 85, Defense 70, Special Attack 90, Speed 65, HP 450

Avalanchewyrm base stats: Attack 125, Defense 110, Special Attack 135, Speed 75, HP 620

The stat jump is substantial, which is why Avalanchewyrm is considered one of the best ice-type monsters in the game right now. If you have evolved other monsters before, the process is similar to what we cover in our ShadeKnight evolution guide, but the material requirements are specific to the frost line.

Common Evolution Issues and Fixes

Some players run into problems during the evolution process. The most common issue is not meeting the EM threshold. Double-check your material count before heading to Skyheart Isle, because if you are even 5 EM short, the kiosk will reject the attempt. Another frequent problem is having Frostwyrm at too low a level. The minimum is 40, but the evolution has a higher success rate at level 45 and above.

If the evolution kiosk does not recognize your Frostwyrm, make sure it is in your active team slot, not stored in your inventory or at a ranch. The kiosk only reads from active party slots. Finally, some players report a visual glitch where the evolution animation does not play but the evolution still completes. Check your monster list to confirm Avalanchewyrm appeared before attempting the evolution again.

Frostfeather Shard Farming Guide

Frostfeather Shards are the bottleneck material for the Frostwyrm evolution. You need 8 of them, and they only drop from specific sources. Based on community farming data collected from over 200 players, here are the confirmed drop sources and their approximate rates.

The primary source is the Frostwyrm boss fight itself. Each time you defeat Frostwyrm in a catch encounter, there is roughly a 20 to 25 percent chance it drops 1 Frostfeather Shard. The drop is independent of whether you successfully catch Frostwyrm, so you can farm shards even if you are still trying to get the monster.

The secondary source is the Frost Dungeon, specifically the second and fourth rooms. These rooms have ice-elemental minibosses that have a 10 to 15 percent chance to drop Frostfeather Shards upon defeat. The Dungeon Delve Trials also award shards as completion bonuses at higher difficulty tiers.

Here is the most efficient farming route that our team tested:

Route 1: Frostwyrm Boss Loop. Camp Spirit Grove spawn points and defeat Frostwyrm each time it spawns. With server hopping, you can fight Frostwyrm every 10 to 12 minutes. This yields approximately 1 to 2 shards per hour on average.

Route 2: Dungeon Delve Farming. Run the Frost Dungeon on normal difficulty, focusing on rooms 2 and 4. A full dungeon run takes about 15 minutes and yields approximately 0.5 to 1 shard per run. The advantage here is that you also earn dungeon-exclusive materials and experience.

Route 3: Combined Approach. The most efficient method combines both. Start in Spirit Grove, defeat Frostwyrm, then immediately queue for a Frost Dungeon run. By the time you finish the dungeon, the Frostwyrm spawn timer has reset on many servers. This hybrid approach yields approximately 2 to 3 shards per hour.

Patience is key. Even with optimal farming, collecting all 8 Frostfeather Shards typically takes 4 to 6 hours of focused gameplay. Players on the community Discord have reported times ranging from 3 hours with good luck to over 10 hours with bad drops. Stick with the combined approach for the best results.

Dungeon Delve Trials Walkthrough

The Dungeon Delve Trials are a new instanced challenge mode added in the Frost update. These trials take place in the Frost Dungeon, a multi-room encounter where your team fights through waves of ice-elemental monsters, minibosses, and a final boss encounter. The dungeon has normal and nightmare difficulty modes, with nightmare mode offering better rewards but requiring a coordinated team.

How to Unlock the Frost Dungeon?

To unlock the Frost Dungeon, you need to complete the Spirit Grove storyline quests, which become available after finishing the Tideland main quest chain. Once you complete the quest called “The Frozen Gate,” the dungeon entrance opens at the northern edge of Spirit Grove, near the Crystal Ridge. You also need a minimum team power rating of 3,000 to enter on normal difficulty and 5,000 for nightmare mode.

Room-by-Room Walkthrough

Room 1: The Frozen Approach. The first room is straightforward. You face three waves of Frost Sprites and Ice Wraiths. These enemies are weak to fire and earth attacks. Clear all three waves to unlock the door to room 2. A healer or support monster is helpful here because the Frost Sprites apply a slow debuff that stacks.

Room 2: The Shatterfield. This room introduces ice spike traps on the ground that activate every 8 seconds. You need to fight two Ice Golems while avoiding the traps. The golems have high defense but slow attack speed. Use fast attackers with fire moves to burn them down quickly. This room is one of the Frostfeather Shard drop locations, so it is worth running even if you are not completing the full dungeon.

Room 3: The Crystal Maze. The third room is a navigation puzzle combined with enemy encounters. You need to find the correct path through a maze of ice crystals while fighting Crystal Wolves. The wrong paths lead to dead ends and additional enemy spawns. The correct path changes each run, but community members have noted patterns that reduce the average clear time significantly.

Room 4: The Frost Arena. This is the miniboss room where you fight the Frost Sentinel, a larger version of the Ice Golems from room 2. The Frost Sentinel has a charged attack that deals massive AoE damage. When you see the ground glow blue, immediately move your team to the edges of the arena. The Frost Sentinel is the second Frostfeather Shard drop source in the dungeon, with a slightly higher drop rate than room 2 enemies.

Room 5: The Frost Lord’s Chamber. The final boss is the Frost Lord, a powerful ice-elemental boss with three phases. Phase 1 is a standard fight where you damage him to 66 percent health. Phase 2 starts at 66 percent when he summons ice clones that mirror his attacks. Focus down the clones first because they buff the Frost Lord’s damage. Phase 3 begins at 33 percent health when the Frost Lord enters an enraged state, attacking faster and adding a freeze effect to all hits.

Team Composition for Frost Dungeon

The Frost Dungeon rewards a balanced team with specific elemental coverage. Based on community testing and our own runs, here is the recommended setup for normal difficulty:

Slot 1: Fire Attacker. You need at least one strong fire-type monster to deal with the ice-elemental enemies throughout the dungeon. Any evolved fire monster with AoE attacks works well here.

Slot 2: Tank or Support. A high-defense monster that can absorb hits from the Frost Sentinel and Frost Lord. Monsters with taunt abilities are especially valuable because they draw boss attacks away from your damage dealers.

Slot 3: Healer. A dedicated healer is not strictly required for normal mode, but having one makes the run significantly smoother. Monsters with group heal abilities keep your team alive through the Frost Lord’s phase 3 enrage.

Slot 4: Flex Pick. The fourth slot should be your strongest available monster, preferably with earth or fire typing. If you already have Avalanchewyrm, it works surprisingly well here despite being ice-type, because its high stats compensate for the elemental disadvantage.

For nightmare difficulty, you want the same composition but with higher stat requirements. Every monster on your team should be at least level 50 with evolved forms. Coordination with other players is essential because nightmare mode scales enemy health and damage based on party size.

Dungeon Rewards

The Frost Dungeon drops several exclusive items worth farming. On normal difficulty, the rewards include Frostfeather Shards, Raw Ice Gems, dungeon-exclusive gear pieces, and experience orbs. Nightmare difficulty adds Refined Ice Gems, a chance at Void Monster summoning items, and cosmetic frost effects for your monsters. The Frost Lord also has a rare chance to drop a Frozen Heart item, which is needed for certain high-level evolution recipes.

Mutation System and Void Monsters (2026)

The mutation system is a new mechanic introduced alongside the Frost update that allows you to modify your monsters’ traits. Not every monster is eligible for mutation, but those that are can gain stat bonuses, new ability modifiers, and visual changes like altered colors or particle effects. The mutation process requires Mutation Essences, which drop from Void Monster encounters.

To mutate a monster, visit the Mutation Altar in Spirit Grove, located next to the Frost Dungeon entrance. Select an eligible monster, spend the required Mutation Essences, and the system rolls for a random mutation from that monster’s available pool. You can re-roll mutations, but each attempt costs additional essences. The community has identified that certain mutations are rarer than others, with stat-boosting mutations being the most sought after.

Void Monsters are the primary source of Mutation Essences. These special encounters appear in the overworld when specific conditions are met. Void Monsters have a purple glowing aura and spawn near rifts that appear randomly in Spirit Grove, Tideland, and Skyheart Isle. Each Void Monster defeated drops 1 to 3 Mutation Essences, with a small chance of dropping Void Shards used in secret evolution recipes.

Catching Void Monsters follows the same mechanics as regular encounters, but they have higher stats and more aggressive attack patterns. Bring a well-rounded team and plenty of catch items. The Void Monsters available in the Frost update cycle on a weekly rotation, so check the in-game event calendar or the community Discord for the current spawn schedule.

Pro Tips and Common Mistakes

After spending extensive time with the Frost update, here are the key lessons that will save you time and frustration.

Do not skip the Frostfeather Shard farming. Many players try to rush the Frostwyrm evolution and hit a wall when they realize how many shards they need. Start farming shards the moment you unlock Spirit Grove, even before you catch Frostwyrm. You earn shards from defeating Frostwyrm regardless of whether you catch it.

Level Frostwyrm to 45 before evolving. While the minimum evolution level is 40, evolving at 45 gives Avalanchewyrm better base stats. The difference is noticeable in dungeon content and endgame fights.

Use the combined farming route. As mentioned in the farming section, alternating between Frostwyrm boss fights and dungeon runs is the most time-efficient way to collect materials.

Do not ignore Void Monsters. Even if mutation is not your priority, the Mutation Essences and Void Shards from these encounters are valuable for trading and future evolution recipes. They also drop Refined Gems at a higher rate than regular enemies.

Join a dungeon group through Discord. The nightmare dungeon is balanced for coordinated teams. Solo queueing into nightmare mode leads to failed runs more often than not. The official Catch a Monster Discord has dedicated LFG channels where players form groups.

Common mistake: Wasting Frost Orbs. Only use Frost Orbs when Frostwyrm’s health is below 25 percent. Using them earlier wastes the orbs because the catch rate is extremely low at higher health thresholds. Players consistently report better results with patience.
