Once Human: How to get Ice Melon in Way of Winter

A temperature mechanic has been introduced in Once Human The Way of Winter. It requires you to craft gear and consume food items to withstand freezing cold and extreme heat. One such item is the Ice Melon, which helps increase your heat resistance in the Ember Strand region of northern Nalcott.

Along with Mint, Ice Melon is one of the only food items that provide heat resistance in the game. Items like Spikemato, Sunny Ginger, and Polar Pepper boost your cold resistance.

This article discusses how you can get Ice Melon in The Way of Winter.

Gathering

Like most other fruits and vegetables in this survival MMO, Ice Melon can be found growing along roadsides and in the wilderness. However, unlike Blueberries, it is not universally available.

Ice Melon does not grow in the Onyx Tundra region. It can be found in the Vena Fjord and Ember Strand regions. Since it helps increase cold resistance, it is only effective in the extreme heat of the Ember Strand region.

While Ice Melons are scattered throughout these two regions, certain areas have a higher concentration. Look for them in the Silver Wall area in Vena Fjord near the Snowcliffs Teleportation Tower and between the Fire God Research Center and Ashenton.

Harvesting

When gathering Ice Melons from the wild, you may also obtain their seeds, which you can use to plant and harvest Ice Melons in your territory.
