Ice Wall

Light up the Bonfire with your special action key skill. Kill the spawning Icebrood Elementals or use control effects like Pull to prevent them from extinguishing it and throw Firewood into the fire to keep it burning. The stronger the bonfire, the faster the ice wall will melt - usually after around 75 seconds.

If you gain too many stacks of Hypothermia (one every 5 seconds), reset them by standing at the bonfire.

When there are only a few percent remaining, go near the fire to leave combat and pre-equip

With reflects and high DPS you can simply burst the boss before any bonfire expires. Note that the Elemental Source is a structure so no potion or sigil will work on it.
