Strategy
This boss fight can be very hard, it is not recommended below level 150.
The battle of Zushuka has two stages. Throughout the entire battle, Frost Spiders will spawn along the horizontal line in the center of the temple and up to 4? Frost Servants will spawn by the altar. These will stop spawning when Zushuka is dead, but the spawned monsters will not disappear when Zushuka is killed.
In the first stage, Zushuka is invincible and her clothing is of a lighter color. To progress to stage 2, the glowing ice cubes on the west and east side of the heart of the temple must be destroyed. To destroy the cubes, take a Thawing Ice Pick from the altar (center) and quickly run to the west or east side to use the pickaxe on the cubes. You must do this on 3 cubes on each side. Note that the thawing ice picks will vanish (and respawn) after 5 seconds, and the decaying starts immediately when it spawns. It is recommended to first move a thawing ice pick, wait for it to disappear and pick up the new one from the same spot on the altar, thus giving you maximum time to use it. You may also add it to a hotkey or action button. Keep in mind that while you run from the altar to the glowing ice cubes, there will be a massive amount of Frost Spiders which aim to slow you down and block your path. If you cannot manage, you can use Energy Bomb Runes or Energy Walls to create a clear path from the altar to the cubes. Alternatively, a knight can block the majority of the spiders while another player runs the thawing ice picks. Also keep in mind that Zushuka can deal a massive amount of damage herself. Since you can't do anything with her right now, it is recommended to lure her away from the center while you progress.
In the second stage, the invincible Zushuka will disappear and a new one, in a darker blue outfit, will spawn by the altar. Zushuka can now be killed. Hold off the minions and kill the boss. When Zushuka reaches low health, she will recover about half its health points (~7500 hp), but only once. This may be a long battle so it is recommended to bring plenty of supplies.
