Where to find the Snowsprite Deviation in Once Human

Let's make a new friend, shall we?

The Snowsprite is a powerful new Deviation in The Way of Winter, Once Human‘s latest scenario. Though it’s not straightforward on where to get it. I’ve heard the rumors but today I’ve finally confirmed them today. So here’s where to find the Snowsprite in Once Human.

The best way to get Snowsprite right now, which I’m aware of, is by defeating the Chaosweaver world boss. People have been saying that this is where you’ll get the Deviation, and I can finally confirm it thanks to taking down a Chaosweaver myself.

But how do you defeat the Chaosweaver in the first place? I’ve heard that it has five million hp, which is a bit much to solo.

The Chaosweaver is an interesting boss. His weak spot keeps changing as the fight carries on. His first weak spot is the hand that holds the saw blades.

Once this arm is destroyed, the subsequent weak spots will glow, showing players where to attack it. However, you don’t actually deal weak spot damage to these points, so bringing your Weakspot Dmg Fast Gunner build is pointless.

I recommend a high weapon-damage build, such as Shrapnel or Fast Gunner (Crit), in order to take down the Chaosweaver as quickly as possible. It’s immune to all status damage, so leave your Frost, Power Surge, and Burn builds at home.

When do you get the Snowsprite?

Once the Chaosweaver’s health dips to around 30 percent, he’ll just leave through the clouds. I found this pretty funny, but maybe that’s just me.

He leaves behind a loot chest of the kind you’ll find in Securement Silos and Rift Spaces, however, and here’s where you can claim your Snowsprite plus some other goodies as well if you use a controller.

On the above map, I’ve marked two locations where the Chaosweaver spawns. However, there are plenty of others as well. You’ll likely run into one as you complete your area explorations or simply explore the map.

Alternate way to get the Snowsprite

Since the Chaosweaver has been removed from Phase one of The Way of Winter, you might need to get Snowsprite in another way. However, you’ll only be able to obtain a level one deviation using this method.

Simply seek out Lowe in Ice House Camp (3368,6181) and follow the quest line that he gives you. After securing a Digby Boy, you’ll be able to go after the Snowsprite. Once you get the Task “Deviation: Snowsprite” you’re in business.

Hit the J key and click on Track Task, since this will make it easier to follow the quest line. You’ll need to speak to Ridley, then head to the Moose City Food Factory, where you’ll need to follow the prompts. Make sure you bring five Molotovs along since you’ll need them to melt some ice.

Once you finish the quest, you’ll be able to secure a level one Snowsprite.
