Among the many unique melee weapons inOnce Human, theFrozen Northern Pikestands out as the most ridiculous of the bunch. However, despite its nature, it’s actually very effective at beating down anything that comes a little too close for comfort.

Getting theFrozen Northern Pikeisn’t quite as simple asthe other melee weapons inOnce Human. It’s well worth the effort, though, especially if you’re using an Elemental build that focuses on the Frost Vortex effect.

How To Get The Frozen Northern Pike Blueprint In Once Human

Unlike many other melee weapon in the game, you can’t get theFrozen Northern Pikeblueprint just byopening mystic crates inOnce Human. Instead, you have to buy it from Margerie, the NPC in charge of selling fishing-related items. She appears on many different piers all over the map, but if you want theFrozen Northern Pikeblueprint, you need to visit her at the makeshift pier at the beach in the Red Sands region, the one on the eastern edge of the map. It’s right next to the Blackheart region border.

To get the blueprint, you’ll need to trade 10 Northern Pikes to Margerie, something that’s likely going to take a while. For the sake of actually crafting the frozen pike, make sure to get one extra fish.

Walk some ways down south, and find a rock to stand on.Fishing inOnce Humancan be a little tedious, but the mechanics are simple enough to keep things from getting too frustrating. We strongly recommend using Dough bait here.
