Project Slayers Polar Scythe Location
The Project Slayers polar scythe is obtained in the Sound Cave area. Travel to Sound Cave, locate the blue Polar statue, and use the nearby hidden passage to reach the weapon display. The route is easier to follow by landmarks than by trying to memorize every turn.
The statue is positioned near the cave’s stairway and roof area. After entering the passage, follow the maze toward the room containing the final torch. The Polar Scythe is displayed in that room, above its case.
Video Highlights:
- Sound Cave is the starting location for the search.
- A blue statue marks the hidden entrance.
- Staying to the right provides a simple way through the passage.
- The weapon appears near the final torch and display case.
| Landmark | What to Look For | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Sound Cave | Cave destination on the map | Teleport or travel there first |
| Blue statue | Polar-themed statue near the passage | Use it to identify the entrance |
| Hidden passage | Narrow route beside the statue | Enter and follow the maze |
| Final torch | Torch in the last room | Check above the weapon case |
| Polar Scythe display | Weapon positioned in the room | Confirm your purchase requirements |
Use the blue statue and final torch as your main landmarks. If the passage branches, keeping to the right is the simplest route described for reaching the display room.
The route descriptions can appear slightly different depending on how the cave entrance is approached. One useful sequence is straight, right, right again, left, and left. Another practical method is to enter the passage and consistently favor the right side until reaching the final room.
For a visual reference, consult the Polar Scythe page on the Project Slayers Wiki. Treat the statue, passage, and final torch as more reliable navigation markers than exact compass directions.
Purchase Requirements and Weapon Overview
The Polar Scythe belongs to the Polar Series and has an icy design: a dark blue handle marked with light blue cracks, an ice-covered blade tip, and a crescent-shaped lower section. Its description emphasizes freezing enemies when the scythe lands a successful strike.
Before traveling to the statue, prepare the required weapon and currency. The base purchase does not list Ore as a requirement, but it does require the Metal Scythe. Ore becomes important when improving the weapon through its upgrade tiers.
Base Weapon
- Polar Series scythe
- Dark blue and ice-themed design
- Purchased from the hidden Sound Cave display
Entry Requirement
- Metal Scythe
- 150,000 Wen
- No base Ore requirement listed
Upgrade Path
- Three upgrade tiers
- Essence, Wen, and Ore required
- Tier 3 unlocks Frostbite
| Category | Requirement or Effect |
|---|---|
| Weapon type | Scythe |
| Series | Polar Series |
| Purchase weapon | Metal Scythe |
| Purchase cost | 150,000 Wen |
| Tier progression | Tier 0 through Tier 3 |
| Maximum listed effect | +8 Weapon Damage, +4 Block, 5% Frostbite |
Do not arrive at the statue with only Wen. The Metal Scythe is also required for the purchase, so check your inventory before entering Sound Cave.
The base Polar Scythe is best understood as the starting point for a progression weapon rather than the final version. Its later tiers provide additional weapon damage, and the highest listed tier adds Block and a chance to freeze an opponent.
The available information does not establish a separate base damage number, trade value, rarity percentage, or vendor rotation. Avoid relying on those details when comparing the weapon. The confirmed comparison points are its purchase materials, upgrade costs, stat bonuses, and two listed moves.
Polar Scythe Upgrade Costs and Frostbite
The Polar Scythe has three upgrade levels after Tier 0. Each level requires the previous tier, a specific Essence amount, Wen, and Ore. Plan the full material route before spending resources, especially if you want the Tier 3 status effect.
| Upgrade | Required Weapon | Essence | Wen | Ore | Listed Buff |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Tier 0 Polar Scythe | 1,000 | 50,000 | 5 | +4 Weapon Damage |
| Tier 2 | Tier 1 Polar Scythe | 1,500 | 75,000 | 10 | +6 Weapon Damage, +4 Block |
| Tier 3 | Tier 2 Polar Scythe | 2,000 | 100,000 | 15 | +8 Weapon Damage, +4 Block, 5% Frostbite |
The listed Tier 3 effect is called Frostbite. Any Tier 3 weapon from the Polar Series has a 5% chance to freeze an opponent for two seconds. With the Polar Scythe, the effect can activate through standard M1 scythe attacks and scythe moves.
Tier 3 is the key milestone because it adds both the highest listed stat bonuses and the 5% Frostbite effect. Save Ore and Essence with that target in mind.
The total resources for all three upgrades can be calculated from the listed requirements:
- 4,500 Essence
- 225,000 Wen
- 30 Ore
- The previous Polar Scythe tier at every upgrade stage
These totals do not include the original 150,000 Wen purchase cost or the Metal Scythe prerequisite. They also do not include the cost of obtaining the Metal Scythe itself.
Secure the Base Weapon
Obtain a Metal Scythe and prepare 150,000 Wen. These are the confirmed requirements for purchasing the Polar Scythe.
Reach the Sound Cave Display
Travel to Sound Cave, locate the blue statue, enter the hidden passage, and reach the room near the final torch.
Purchase Tier 0
Buy the Polar Scythe from the display once the required weapon and Wen are available.
Gather Upgrade Materials
Collect 4,500 Essence, 225,000 Wen, and 30 Ore if you plan to complete all three listed upgrades.
Reach Tier 3
Upgrade in order from Tier 0 to Tier 3. The Frostbite chance becomes available at the final listed tier.
The upgrade sequence is linear. You cannot skip directly from Tier 0 to Tier 3 because each stage requires the previous Polar Scythe tier. This makes the weapon’s progression easier to plan, but it also means that early upgrades consume resources before the Frostbite effect becomes available.
Moves, Mastery, and Combat Use
The Polar Scythe has two listed moves: Bloodlust and Asteroid. Their different mastery requirements create a straightforward progression path. Bloodlust becomes available earlier, while Asteroid requires more investment before use.
| Keybind | Move | Mastery | Stamina | Combat Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z | Bloodlust | 9 | 45 | Multiple slashes that move toward the opponent; final slash knocks back |
| X | Asteroid | 28 | 30 | Directable leap followed by a ground slam that knocks back |
Bloodlust is the earlier unlock and suits close-range pressure. The move performs a series of slashes while gradually moving toward the opponent. Its final slash provides knockback, giving the attack a clear finishing motion.
Asteroid requires Mastery 28 and offers a different approach. The user performs a directable leap before slamming the scythe into the ground. The impact knocks the opponent back and can help create space after an aggressive approach.
Use Bloodlust as the early mastery goal, then work toward Asteroid. At Tier 3, remember that Frostbite can also trigger from M1 scythe attacks and scythe moves.
Early Progression
- Reach Mastery 9
- Unlock Bloodlust
- Use the slash sequence for pressure
Advanced Unlock
- Reach Mastery 28
- Unlock Asteroid
- Practice the leap and ground slam
Tier 3 Goal
- Complete all upgrades
- Gain +8 Weapon Damage
- Add 5% Frostbite and +4 Block
The weapon’s confirmed effects support a close-range playstyle built around repeated scythe attacks, knockback, and the possibility of a short freeze at Tier 3. Frostbite is a chance-based effect, so it should complement your attacks rather than replace normal combat timing.
Because the available move data lists only Bloodlust and Asteroid, this guide does not assign additional keybinds or claim unlisted abilities. Check your in-game controls if a later update changes the move set.
Preparation Checklist and FAQ
Use this checklist before attempting the purchase or beginning the upgrade route.
Polar Scythe Goals:
- Reach Sound Cave and identify the blue Polar statue
- Bring a Metal Scythe and 150,000 Wen
- Find the hidden passage and final torch room
- Collect 4,500 Essence, 225,000 Wen, and 30 Ore for all listed upgrades
- Reach Mastery 9 for Bloodlust and Mastery 28 for Asteroid
Organize the purchase materials first, then track upgrade resources separately. This prevents the base weapon cost from being confused with the Tier 1–3 upgrade total.
| Goal | Confirmed Target | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Base purchase | 150,000 Wen | Required at the Polar Scythe display |
| Required weapon | Metal Scythe | Needed before purchasing |
| Full upgrade currency | 225,000 Wen | Total listed cost for Tiers 1–3 |
| Full upgrade materials | 4,500 Essence and 30 Ore | Required across all listed tiers |
| Final combat milestone | Mastery 28 | Unlocks Asteroid |
Q: Where do I find the Project Slayers polar scythe?
Travel to Sound Cave, locate the blue Polar statue, enter the nearby hidden passage, and follow the route toward the room with the final torch. The Polar Scythe is displayed above its case.
Q: What do I need to buy the Polar Scythe?
You need a Metal Scythe and 150,000 Wen. Ore is listed for the later upgrades rather than the base purchase.
Q: How much does it cost to upgrade the Polar Scythe to Tier 3?
The three listed upgrades require 4,500 Essence, 225,000 Wen, and 30 Ore in total, plus the previous Polar Scythe tier at each stage.
Q: What does Frostbite do?
At Tier 3, the Polar Scythe can trigger Frostbite with a 5% chance. The effect freezes an opponent for two seconds and can activate through M1 scythe attacks and scythe moves.
The most important decision is whether to stop at the base weapon or pursue Tier 3. The base purchase gives access to the Polar Scythe, while the final tier adds its strongest listed stat bonuses and the Frostbite effect. For players investing in the weapon long term, the full upgrade route provides the clearest progression goal.
