Cryogen is usually the first Hardmode boss that players will face in their playthrough. Cryogen will inflict debuffs that hinder movement speed, such as Chilled and Glacial State. It will transition through six phases based on its current health, the final phase often being considered the most difficult, with Cryogen ramming the player at very high speeds. Cryogen is summoned by using a Cryo Key in the Snow biome at any time.
This guide will mention items exclusive to Expert and Revengeance Mode with no special formatting and will follow the intended progression.

Terrain Preparation [ ]
Staying in the Snow biome is highly recommended, as Cryogen will enrage and gain a speed boost if it leaves the Snow biome. An arena with actuated snow/ice blocks will extend your Snow biome.
Build a long set of two to three platforms and level the ground of the arena to act as a fourth layer. Place the platforms around 20 blocks apart. Great vertical and horizontal mobility is a must for this fight, considering the high mobility of the boss itself. Cryogen will not get stuck on platforms, nor will its summons. Campfires and Heart Lanterns are useful assets to boost your health regeneration, so they should be placed throughout the whole arena.
During the fight, Cryogen will summon Cryocores, and Aurora Spirits that will interrupt the fight, so keep this in mind when building arenas.
The bottom layer of the arena can be built with Ice Blocks, increasing the player’s acceleration and top speed, both of which are useful assets in the fight (provided the player is equipped with Frostspark Boots). However, this is not necessary.
Gearing Up [ ]
Armor [ ]
Accessories [ ]
Weapons [ ]
The weapons from Biome Mimics or the buffed Sunken Sea are great options for the fight along with many other options early Hardmode has to offer. Using class specific Abyss weapons can work against Cryogen, although many other options are available that are more effective. Homing weapons, or weapons whose projectiles move quickly are very effective as Cryogen moves very erratically in its later stages, especially in Revengeance or Death Mode.
It is sometimes preferable to fight the other bosses at this tier in progression to have a much wider array of options, some of which are listed below.

The Fight [ ]
Cryogen will spawn off-screen, which means the player should be prepared to dodge projectiles that Cryogen fires as it approaches them. For the first four phases, Cryogen will occasionally spawn an ice shield around it that must be destroyed in order for Cryogen to take damage again. Cryogen will also periodically fire frost bolts at the player during most phases. Cryogen will spawn minions to disrupt the player, make sure to take care of them on all difficulties. Circle Cryogen for the first phase. Using platforms to help reset wing time/jumps is very useful.
When phase two begins, Cryogen will attempt to move above the player. Strafe slowly and continuously left or right, while continuing to deal damage with projectile based weapons. Letting Cryogen get above the player will cause Cryogen to rapidly fire ice shards similar to The Perforators’ blood rain, inflicting Glacial State, which is almost a guaranteed death on higher difficulties. To avoid these, run just below Cryogen until the ice shards come into view, then dash in the opposite direction.
Cryogen will begin to level itself with the player in phase three. It will fire ice shards in bursts that will rain down after traveling a short distance. Picking up pace while strafing around it helps to avoid these. Use a Rod of Discord to avoid Cryogen while turning around.
Phase four is very similar to phase two, except Cryogen loses the ability to fire frost bolts. In exchange, it fires ice shards at an increased rate. Don’t slow down during this phase.
Phase five will cause Cryogen to lose the ability to regenerate its ice shield and the ability to fire ice shards. Instead, Cryogen will fire frost bolts again, albeit more rapidly than other phases. It also teleports every few seconds around the player, making timing Rage and Adrenaline extremely difficult. Slowing strafes down helps to avoid colliding with Cryogen as it teleports.
Phase six will cause Cryogen to lose all other abilities, but gain a speed boost as it tries to ram into the player at high speeds. Cryogen will also occasionally charge off-screen, so using the minimap to track its movement is very effective. Try to start this phase on the top platform and dodge Cryogen by timing a circle around it. If Cryogen is above the player, fly up and use a dashing accessory to dash in the direction of Cryogen when it begins its charge. If Cryogen is below you, hop down and dash towards it. Continue this for the rest of the Phase until Cryogen is defeated.
