The Ice Admiral is a level 700 boss hidden behind the brown door of the secret cave of
Frozen Village, in
First Sea. He fights with the old abilities of the Ice fruit, which stun much more than they deal damage. It's mainly a story step: beating him triggers the long monologue that explains
Don Swan's escape and sends you to the
Second Sea.
How to get it
Head to the secret cave of Frozen Village, in First Sea: he's behind the brown door. Level 700 recommended. Be careful, this is a story quest boss, not a farming boss, as explained in the To Know section.

Where to Find Him
He stands behind the brown door of the secret cave of Frozen Village.
Since Update 30, he wears a blue robe over dark blue pants. His hair is light blue, his eyes are blue, and he keeps a serious look. Before the rework, it was a white suit vest, white pants, a red shirt, a green bow tie and the marine version of the
Coat on his back.
His Attacks
He uses the old abilities of the Ice fruit.
| Attack | What it Does | When He Uses It | How to Avoid It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ice Surge | He shoots out a small ice wave in front of him, with stun and knockback. | When you're in the air and not too far from him. | Keep your distance. |
| Glacial Epoch | He touches the ground then freezes a large portion of the terrain, stunning everything in its radius. | When you're close to him. He can also launch it mid-jump. |
How to Beat Him
- Keep Instinct active: he attacks with ice at all distances.
- Prioritize ranged attacks.
- His attacks have very short range. Climb onto one of the rocks in the cave and you can beat him without difficulty.
- Don't let Ice Surge hit you: once stunned, he combos you with his fists without you being able to respond.
- Run in circles around him: Ice Surge only targets where you were at the start of the animation.
What He Says After His Defeat
The Ice Admiral is the first boss in the game to speak once defeated, and his speech launches the entire rest of the story.
He takes his defeat with good sportsmanship, guesses that you were sent because of his dispute with
Swan, and tells you that justice changes depending on perspective. Most importantly, he swears he didn't free Swan: he was actually trying to stop him.
According to him, his old friend the Magma Admiral made a deal with the Dragon Emperor to stage Swan's escape, when in reality they simply let him go. The Dragon Emperor runs an artificial
Blox Fruits trafficking ring of which Swan was the manager, and he threatened the Magma Admiral with war if he didn't free Swan to send him back home, to the
Kingdom of Rose. The Magma Admiral judged that the losses weren't worth it and accepted.
When the Ice Admiral found out, he tried to prevent Swan from reaching the Second Sea, without success: his fruit,
Spider, allows him to move very quickly through the air thanks to his threads. To bring justice, you must go to the Second Sea and find him, knowing he's hiding, pursued by the Revolutionary Army who wants to make him pay for his tyranny now that the
Marines have failed. He then sends you to the
Military Detective.
To Know
- His attacks are extremely weak: with decent damage stats, you shouldn't have any trouble.
- He's the first boss in the game to speak a line after being defeated.
- The Swan he's talking about is Don Swan, the boss of the Second Sea, not the Swan from the
Prison in First Sea. - You can only kill him once, for the quest to access the Second Sea. After that, he becomes invincible to you and you can no longer deal damage to him.
- Exception: the V of
Love and the V of
Ghost still deal damage to him even after this first kill. - Even when you can't hurt him anymore, he's still affected by moves, for example grabs.
- If you glitch in the room or don't meet the conditions, he's invincible, like the
Saber Expert and
Longma. - By luring him near the door, Portal Dash allows you to glitch inside to fight him.
- Even if you die against him, you can retry as many times as you need until you unlock the Second Sea.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Ice Surge stuns: once frozen, he combos you with his fists
- Glacial Epoch freezes a wide area, and he can launch it mid-jump
- He attacks with ice at all distances
- Extremely low damage for a level 700 boss
- Very short range: from a rock in the cave, he can barely do anything
- Ice Surge doesn't track your position: circle around him and it misses you
Our take
A story boss more than a farming boss: he hits weakly, fights from a safe rock, and his only real purpose is to unlock the next part of the quest to the Second Sea. Once killed, he becomes invincible to you.
