Learn how to find and unlock the powerful Ice Sickle weapon in Grounded 2. Includes walkthrough steps, enemy strategies, crafting recipes, and repair tips.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the Ice Cream Cart and enter one of the tunnels leading inside.
  2. 2
    Once inside, climb towards the top compartment.
  3. 3
    Locate the metal fan beneath the cart's roof.
  4. 4
    Smash the icicles on the fan's layers to reactivate it.
  5. 5
    Reactivating the fan opens a hole below it. Enter this hole to find a tunnel that leads to a Milk Molar and a secret compartment.
  6. 6
    In the secret compartment, you'll find the Ice Sickles embedded in a MIX.R device. Interacting with them initiates a battle.
  7. 7
    Defeat all waves of enemies, including Scorpionlings, Scorpion Juniors, and eventually two Northern Scorpions, to fill the MIX.R meter.
  8. 8
    Prevent the Ice Sickles' health bar from depleting during the fight.
  9. 9
    Once the meter is full and the MIX.R has health remaining, you will automatically acquire the Ice Sickles.
Tips
  • Utilize the spork to reach sunlight, which reduces your Chill meter and prevents attack speed debuffs or freezing. The Chill meter slows attack speed by 50% at 50% buildup.
  • The Ice Sickles can draw aggro from some Scorpions, allowing you to target their weak spots (Rump/Stinger).
  • Consider removing Chill armor and equipping better gear for your weapon build, returning to the spork periodically to manage your Chill meter.
  • Be aware that most builds prevent equipping a torch in your off-hand, which can accelerate Chill buildup.
  • Scorpidote smoothie can help, but is not essential if you effectively dodge stinger attacks.
  • Dodge stinger attacks, carry healing potions, anti-chill items, and health kits. Ensure your preferred weapons and armor are fully repaired before the fight.

Crafting and Repairing:

  • Crafting: Requires 2 Mint Glob, 2 Northern Scorpion Pincer, and 6 Northern Scorpion Chunk.
  • Mint Globs: Find the Frostbitten Key on a human corpse near a strawberry ice cream cone on the southeastern edge inside the Ice Cream Cart. Use this key to dig up and open a chest in the corner of the Ice Sickle event room. Ensure you have spare inventory space before digging.
  • Northern Scorpion Parts: Dropped by Northern Scorpion enemies, though in low quantities.
  • Repairing: Requires Mint Shards. The Ice Cream Cart, particularly its caves and Mint Tubs, is a dense location for Mint Shards.

Ice Sickle Builds:

  • The Ice Sickles excel in raw damage and stun power among dual-wield weapons, though they have lower crit chance than Wolf Spider daggers.
  • They are particularly effective against Tier 3 Praying Mantis enemies.
