How to Get Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge – Mosasaursit

Finding the Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge on Frostpire Expanse Island 3 is the equivalent of the Arcane Pickaxe for Island 1 or Demonic Pickaxe for Island 2. To get it you’ll need to go to the frozen lake near the town area on Island 3 and jump into the hole. I’ll show you how to get the Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge step-by-step.

How to Find Mosasaursit and Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge

You get both Mosasaursit and Prismatic Pickaxe in the same spot in The Forge which is on Island 3 Frostpire Expanse beneath the Frozen Lake which you enter via a little hole. Here are all the steps to do it:

Bring the Snow Pickaxe ($750.000 at the Pickaxe Shop) or any Pickaxe with a mining strength of over 320.

Follow our picture and video guide above to reach the Frozen Lake.

Jump into the little fishing hole on the lake.

Keep swimming down until you reach the bottom.

Mine the ice wall which took me around 20 minutes with the Snow Pickaxe (You need at least a 320 strength Pickaxe).

Breaking the ice wall will give you the Mosasaursit ore which you need to buy the Prismatic Pickaxe (7x multiplier, Trait: -25% Swiftness, +65% Vitality on Armor)

(Optional) Use Dwarf and Miner Totem for faster ice wall mining.

Behind the wall you’ll see the Prismatic Pickaxe which you can then buy for 1 Mosasaursit and $2.000.000.

I recommend using the Goblin Race for a discount.

The Prismatic Pickaxe is currently the best pickaxe in The Forge.

ARC Performance Steel is one of the hardest items to find in ARC Raiders, as you’ll have to take down specific enemies.

Unlike most items in ARC Raiders, ARC Performance Steel can’t be obtained from looting containers or other areas. Instead, you can only obtain the item after taking down certain ARC enemies that you can come across on any map.

This guide will help you pinpoint which ARCs you should take down to gain ARC Performance Steel.

Best way to get ARC Performance Steel in ARC Raiders

To find ARC Performance Steel, you’ll need to take down any of the following ARCs.

Leaper
Bastion
Bombardier
The Queen
Matriarch
ARC Probes

Barring the last one, all five ARCs mentioned on the list are dangerous enemies that you should be extremely careful about. Here’s where you can find these heavy ARCs.

Leaper

Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Red Lakes Balcony, Red Lakes
Buried City: Buried Properties, Plaza Rosa
Spaceport: Launch Towers, Arrival and Departure Buildings
Blue Gate: Warehouse Complex, Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade

Bastion

Dam Battlegrounds: Hydrophonic Complex
Buried City: Market Ruins, Library, Piazza Arbusto
Spaceport: Arrival and Departure Buildings, Container Storage, Fuel Lines
Blue Gate: Checkpoint, Outer Gates

Bombardier

Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Primary Facility
Buried City: Marano Park, Main Street
Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance, Arrival Building, South Trench Tower, Container Storage
Blue Gate: Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade, Raider’s Refuge

The Queen

Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes
Spaceport: Staff Parking
Blue Gate: Middle of Checkpoint and Trapper’s Glade

Matriarch

Dam Battlegrounds: The Breach
Spaceport: Launch Towers
Blue Gate: Headhouse

The Queen and Matriarch will only spawn under specific map conditions. While the Matriarch has its own special map condition, The Queen only spawns during a Harvester map condition.

The rest of the ARCs can spawn in areas that aren’t mentioned here. However, I have listed the spots where I have almost always encountered them on raids. Taking them down will almost guarantee an ARC Performance Steel.

If you don’t want to take the risks, you can always try your luck with ARC Probes. You’ll occasionally come across them during raids. However, opening an ARC Probe doesn’t guarantee you a Performance Steel, so you might need to find several of them.
