Iceberg, dead ahead! Teeming with mice, and on a collision course with the beaches directly outside Gnawnia's castle, this Iceberg must be stopped at all costs! You must be the rank of Lord/Lady to travel to this dangerous area.

Overview

The Iceberg is a location in the Rodentia region requiring a minimum rank of Lord/Lady and Icebreaker License to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.

The Iceberg is 1,800 feet deep and split into the following zones: 300 feet of Treacherous Tunnels, 300 feet of Brutal Bulwark, 1,000 feet of Bombing Run, and 200 feet of The Mad Depths. Hunters advance or move back certain distances (listed in the tables below) by catching or failing to catch mice. The goal is to reach Icewing's Lair at the bottom of the iceberg, catch the Frostwing Commander the first time which then allows Icewing to be encountered on subsequent occasions. Hunters completing the task within a certain number of hunts receive bonuses:

425 hunts	Iceberg Supply Chest
350 hunts	Iceberg Strongbox and Iceberg Supply Chest
275 hunts	Iceberg Treasure Chest, Iceberg Strongbox and Iceberg Supply Chest

Traveling from this location does not reset the progress. Capturing Icewing with the Deep Freeze Base armed, and within 250 hunts, opens up the Hidden Depths for a chance at the Deep Mouse.

After 275 hunts, hunters have an option to retreat back to the start, and the following message is displayed in the Hunter's Journal:

The Iceberg has smashed the first of the bonus chests! Two more still remain, so keep hunting!

After 350 hunts elapse, the following message is displayed in the Journal:

The Iceberg has smashed the second of the bonus chests! There is still one more chest to claim!

After 425 hunts elapse, the following message is displayed in the Journal:

The Iceberg has smashed the last of the bonus chests, and Icewing has moved on to supervise another Iceberg invasion.
She has left her second-in-command in charge, who must still be defeated to destroy the Iceberg and protect the good people of Gnawnia.
With most of the fighting mice leaving the Iceberg, the Living Salt mouse can finally roam free, making progress significantly easier.

The hunter is automatically transported to the Slushy Shoreline after successfully fighting through the iceberg, or when 250 hunts expire after entering the Hidden Depths.

Shops

These are the shops that can be found in the Iceberg:

Icewing's Invasion Mice

Generals

Generals appear at the end of each zone and catching one allows a hunter to proceed further. They can alternatively be bypassed if a hunter uses a Drill Charge to enter the next zone. Failure to catch a General 'locks' that mouse for the following two General hunts, so only that particular General is available to be encountered. Failure to attract does not count against the three hunts. Missing General Drheller forces the hunter back to the previous zone, but the intermediate hunts used to get back to the General level do not count against the two remaining locked hunts on General Drheller. After three failures the mouse population includes all 4 Generals once more, and hunters may encounter a different General. Upon the capture of a General, hunters' progress in the Iceberg is saved, and they cannot be pushed back to a previous zone.

If a mouse is caught near the end of a zone that would advance a hunter beyond the start of the next zone, the following message is displayed on the Journal:

I caught an X Mouse and advanced through the Iceberg, but was stopped by a General! A challenge awaits!

If a mouse is caught near the end of a zone that advances a hunter perfectly to the end of their current zone, the above message is not displayed.

Trap Setup Options for Iceberg Mad Depths

Icewing's Lair

Upon entering this final zone for the first time or after 425 hunts, the following message is displayed on the Journal:

I entered Icewing's Lair. Icewing herself has since moved on, but she's left behind her second-in-command, the Frostwing Commander, who must be defeated to save the good people of Gnawnia from this icy invasion!

On subsequent runs for those who reach Icewing's Lair within 425 hunts, the following message is displayed on the Journal:

I entered Icewing's Lair. This is it – the big showdown!

Upon entering this zone within 250 hunts and with the Deep Freeze base available to arm, the following message is displayed:

I entered Icewing's Lair and my Deep Freeze Base began glowing! Something's happening!

Mouse	Points	Gold	Mouse Group	Loot
Frostlance Guard	7,435	935	Icewing's Invasion	Hunting Research (5,000) Hunting Research (10,000) Satchel of Gold (1,000) Satchel of Gold (2,000) Satchel of Gold (5,000) Sticky Charm Wax Charm
Frostwing Commander	22,550	7,525	Icewing's Invasion	Drill Charge Hunting Research (5,000) Hunting Research (10,000) Satchel of Gold (2,000) Satchel of Gold (5,000) Sticky Charm War Scrap Wax Charm Well-sealed Canister
Icewing	51,250	11,295	Icewing's Invasion	Ancient Relic Deep Freeze Base Blueprints Drill Charge Hunting Research (5,000) Satchel of Gold (2,000) Steam Nine Sticky Charm War Scrap Wax Charm Zugzwang's Scarf

Note:

Frostlance Guard is always present.
If within 425 hunts:
- Frostwing Commander is present only on the first run through the Iceberg.
- Icewing is present on subsequent runs.
After 425 hunts:
- Frostwing Commander is always present.
- Icewing is no longer present.

Hunters complete the Iceberg by catching Frostwing Commander or Icewing; given the above rules, only one of those two mice is ever present, depending on the number of times through the Iceberg and number of hunts taken so far.

After the first invasion defeat, the following message is displayed in the journal if completed within 425 hunts:

I successfully fought through the Iceberg in X hunts, saving the good people of Gnawnia from the wrath of Icewing's invasion! In amongst the Iceberg's wreckage is X bonus chests!

If too many hunts were taken, the message is shorter:

I successfully fought through the Iceberg in X hunts, saving the good people of Gnawnia from the wrath of Icewing's invasion!

After defeating Icewing using Steam Laser Mk. II, the hunter's weapon is converted to Steam Laser Mk. II (Broken!), with this message in the journal:

Fueled by her terrible defeat at your hands, Icewing has destroyed and defaced your trap in a fit of icy rage! But in her haste, she seems to have dropped something – perhaps combining it with the destroyed trap parts will create a trap she truly fears!

After the second defeat of Icewing, the following message is displayed in the journal:

The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once.Leaping from the crumbling wreckage, you notice a tunnel collapsing in the distance. If only you had more time and a safe method to preserve the Iceberg's structure, perhaps you could have explored it!

After defeating Icewing using Deep Freeze Base within 249 hunts, the following message is displayed in the journal (except when Steam Laser Mk. II was also armed), as the hunter enters the Hidden Depths:

The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once. In response, your Deep Freeze Base emits an icy chill, and the explosions slow and then cease. The Iceberg continues to shudder distressingly, but you judge you have (250-X) hunts remaining to explore.

Hidden Depths

The Hidden Depths has a distance of 200 feet, and can only be reached by defeating Icewing with the Deep Freeze Base armed, prior to hunt 250. While in this area, the heads-up display adds an additional progress meter, with the following hint:

The Iceberg is crumbling! You have only until Hunt #250 to defeat the Deep Mouse!

Mouse	Points	Gold	Mouse Group	Loot	Slide and Knockback Values (ft)
Mouse	Points	Gold	Mouse Group	Loot	Catch	FTC
Frostlance Guard	7,435	935	Icewing's Invasion	Hunting Research (10,000) Satchel of Gold (1,000) Satchel of Gold (2,000) Satchel of Gold (5,000)	15	0
Frostwing Commander	22,550	7,525	Icewing's Invasion	Hunting Research (10,000) Satchel of Gold (5,000) Well-sealed Canister	10	0
Living Salt	1,525	550	Icewing's Invasion	Hunting Research (10,000) Satchel of Gold (5,000)	20	0

At hunt number 249, the following message is displayed in the journal:

With the Iceberg crumbling all around you, you figure you have but one more turn left. It's time to put everything you have into this one final hunt!

At hunt number 250, the hunter is automatically transported to Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:

It's too dangerous to hunt here any longer! With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, swearing to return next time and conquer!

The Deep Lair

The Deep Mouse is the only mouse that can be attracted at the end of the 200 feet.

Mouse	Points	Gold	Mouse Group	Loot
Deep	142,550	24,525	Icewing's Invasion	Ancient Relic Deep Thought (25,000) Plankrun's Iceberg Notes Satchel of Gold (10,000)

After defeating Deep Mouse, the hunter is automatically transported to Slushy Shoreline and the following message is displayed in the journal:

With the Deep Mouse in your trap, the Iceberg finally begins to crack apart around you. With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, laughing about your incredible victory!

Hunting Strategy

Standard cheese such as Brie or Gouda may be used in this location. The mice in this location are weak to Hydro-type weapons. Hunters can purchase bags of Sticky or Wax charms in the General Store, which have special effects on Bergling mouse subclass. Sticky charms tend to average a higher overall foot-per-hunt rate than Wax charms. After obtaining sufficient amount of Bottled Cold Fusion, hunters may craft bases with special effects on other subclasses: Magnet Base, Spiked Base, Remote Detonator Base, Hearthstone Base, and Deep Freeze Base.

Hunters can use a Drill Charge to advance additional distance; for the best effect, the hunters may wish to wait on drilling until they have obtained all the craftable bases, and make the attempt for the Treasure Chest. Since the Mad Depths has the lowest average feet per hunt, saving the Drill Charges for that region will minimize the hunts required to reach Icewing's Lair.

Prior to obtaining Deep Freeze Base and entering Hidden Depths, only one Icewing or Frostwing Commander can be caught per run, and which one is encountered is determined by the number of hunts taken. Additional Frostwing Commanders can be caught in the Hidden Depths, but not more Icewing. Hunters desiring to maximize the number of Living Salt mice attracted can intentionally stale cheese by arming a non-Hydro weapon while waiting for the required number of hunts to elapse. Hunters desiring to catch a specific General can intentionally arm a non-Hydro weapon until the first time the desired general is attracted, then use the next two locked hunts to catch that mouse. Mice in this area can steal cheese (including White Cheddar), gold, or points, but if a hunter arms only one piece of cheese at a time, and converts gold into standard cheese (which can be refunded for the same amount of gold later on), then intentionally missing mice can be limited to only risking the loss of points.

While it is possible to reach the Deep Mouse using Gouda cheese, it is extremely rare without the use of the School of Sharks weapon. Use of SUPER|brie+, or waiting for high-attraction Event cheese (such as Runny cheese during the Great Gnawnian Games), makes it easier to minimize hunts when using only the Steam Laser Mk. III or Phantasmic Oasis Trap. When hunting for the Deep Mouse, the Deep Freeze Base must be used to catch Icewing, but other bases can be used on all other hunts. While the Deep Mouse is difficult to catch before hunt 250, the final hunt is a guaranteed catch if the mouse is attracted (even with a wrong power type), so hunters are advised to use SUPER|brie+ if they reach the final hunt, to avoid a failure to attract.

Adventure Book

Hunters can complete the Hunt for Icewing by catching Icewing in the Iceberg using the Steam Laser Mk. II to recover Zugzwang's Scarf.

Hunting tips by Larry

Our brave and daring scouts have reported that the Iceberg is broken up into five distinct zones with different mice in each. The further down you go, the more dangerous it becomes!

Treacherous Tunnels: Tunnel Rats roam these halls, ever-expanding the Iceberg's tunnel network. Their tools can be put to use making your own tunnels, so catch as many of them as you can!

Brutal Bulwark: Dangerous Brutes live here, and they'll knock you silly! At the very least, they'll knock you back a few paces, slowing you drastically. If only you could find a way to stop them...

Bombing Run: Bomb Squad mice use high explosives to carve huge caverns and trip up intruders. But if you could turn their bombs against them, you could certainly speed up your descent.

The Mad Depths: Mad Zealot mice prowl here. They are both hard to catch and powerful – they will knock you back if you don't catch them. Avoiding them would be best.

Icewing's Lair: Icewing herself commands the Iceberg's deployment from here, deep in the heart of the Iceberg. Be brave in facing her, hunter, as she will give no quarter!

If you check the shops, there's loads of new gear to help you combat these new dangers, including Wax Charms and Sticky Charms, which have specific uses against Bergling mice, whom you'll find in every zone.

Floating in the path of the Iceberg are three bonus chests holding supplies for the icy invasion. If you can defeat the Iceberg before it reaches them, their contents will be yours! If the Iceberg crashes into them, their contents will be lost to you as they float ashore to be used by the invaders, so work quickly for the most rewards!

 {{-}}
 == Overview ==
-The [[Crystal Library]] is a location in the [[Rodentia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Lord|Lord or Lady]] and a [[Crystal Library Card]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.
+The '''Iceberg''' is a location in the [[Rodentia]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Hunter's Title|Lord/Lady]] and [[Icebreaker License]] to enter. Mice in this location may steal points, gold, or multiple pieces of cheese if not captured.
-The [[Crystal Library Card]], required for entry to the [[Crystal Library]], can be obtained from '''Knight''', '''Bishop''', '''Rook''', or '''Queen''' mice in [[Zugzwang's Tower]].
+The Iceberg is 1,800 feet deep and split into the following zones: 300 feet of Treacherous Tunnels, 300 feet of Brutal Bulwark, 1,000 feet of Bombing Run, and 200 feet of The Mad Depths. Hunters advance or move back certain distances (listed in the tables below) by catching or failing to catch mice. The goal is to reach Icewing's Lair at the bottom of the iceberg, catch the [[Frostwing Commander]] the first time which then allows [[Icewing]] to be encountered on subsequent occasions. Hunters completing the task within a certain number of hunts receive bonuses:
-All mice found in the [[Crystal Library]] (except the [[Crown Collector]]) are part of [[Zurreal's Breed]].  All mice found here are weak to [[Physical]] and [[Tactical]] weapons.

-The [[Crystal Library]] offers Hunters the opportunity to undertake [[Library Assignment]]s in order to earn rewards and [[Library Points]].
+Traveling from this location does not reset the progress. Capturing [[Icewing]] with the [[Deep Freeze Base]] armed, and within 250 hunts, opens up the [[Hidden Depths]] for a chance at the [[Deep Mouse]].
-===Heads-Up Display===
+After 275 hunts, hunters have an option to retreat back to the start, and the following message is displayed in the [[Hunter's Journal]]:
-The [[Crystal Library]] HUD displays the Hunter's current [[Library Points]] total and a button that reads '''Get Assignment''' when the Hunter is not working an assignment, and reads '''Researching!''' when the Hunter is working an assignment.  Clicking this button shows the complete list of available [[Reasearch]] and the requirements necessary to accept the assignment.
+:''The Iceberg has smashed the first of the bonus chests! Two more still remain, so keep hunting!''
-==[[Library Assignment]]s==
+After 350 hunts elapse, the following message is displayed in the Journal:
-A [[Library Assignment]] is a set of research tasks that Hunters ranked [[Lord|Lord/Lady]] and above, and with access to the [[Crystal Library]], can do to earn rewards and [[Library Points]]. [[Library Points]] are awarded for each completed assignment and are required to start more advanced assignments.
+:''The Iceberg has smashed the second of the bonus chests! There is still one more chest to claim!''
-To start an assignment, Hunters must travel to the [[Crystal Library]] and click on the '''Get Assignment''' button on the HUD. Each assignment has specific requirements the Hunter must meet to be able to accept it. Hunters may only have one assignment open at a time.  The Hunter's current assignment may be found on the [[Special]] tab, under '''Scrolls, Posters, Assignments'''. To discard an assignment (and, with a few exceptions, lose all progress made) Hunters can smash it using their [[Hunter's Hammer]].  Hunters will be rewarded with [[Nothing]] and must wait 1 hour before they can accept another assignment.
+After 425 hunts elapse, the following message is displayed in the Journal:
+:''The Iceberg has smashed the last of the bonus chests, and Icewing has moved on to supervise another Iceberg invasion.<br/>She has left her second-in-command in charge, who must still be defeated to destroy the Iceberg and protect the good people of Gnawnia.<br/>With most of the fighting mice leaving the Iceberg, the [[Living Salt]] mouse can finally roam free, making progress significantly easier.''
-===Tracking Library Assignment Progress===
+The hunter is automatically transported to the [[Slushy Shoreline]] after successfully fighting through the iceberg, or when 250 hunts expire after entering the [[Hidden Depths]].
-On the traditional user interface, the Hunter's current assignment shows as a '''Task''' window over the trap set-up image on the left side of the '''Camp''' page. The window shows the first uncompleted step of the assignment. Clicking on the window opens a pop-up display that shows the steps of the assignment and the Hunter's current progress.
-On the '''FreshCoat''' user interface, the Hunter's current assignment can be accessed by selecting the '''Quests''' tab, which is found over the [[Hunter's Journal]]. Opening the '''Quests''' tab shows the steps of the assignment and the Hunter's current progress.
+== Shops ==
+These are the shops that can be found in the Iceberg:
-==Capturing [[Zurreal the Eternal]]==
+*[[Cheese Shoppe#Iceberg Cheese Shoppe|Cheese Shoppe]]
-[[Zurreal the Eternal]] can only be attracted and captured if Hunters have the [[Zurreal's Folly]] trap armed and a [[Scholar Charm]] equipped. No other trap set-up will allow the Hunter to capture [[Zurreal the Eternal]].
+*[[Trapsmith#Iceberg Trapsmith|Trapsmith]]
+*[[General Store#Iceberg General Store|General Store]]
+*[[Charm Shoppe#Iceberg Charm Shoppe|Charm Shoppe]]
-===Obtaining [[Zurreal's Folly]]===
+== Icewing's Invasion Mice==
-Hunters must obtain 900 [[Library Points]] before they will be able to accept the [[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]], which they must complete in order to obtain the items necessary for crafting [[Zurreal's Folly]].
+===Generals===
+Generals appear at the end of each zone and catching one allows a hunter to proceed further. They can alternatively be bypassed if a hunter uses a [[Drill Charge]] to enter the next zone. Failure to catch a General 'locks' that mouse for the following two General hunts, so only that particular General is available to be encountered.  Failure to attract does not count against the three hunts.  Missing General Drheller forces the hunter back to the previous zone, but the intermediate hunts used to get back to the General level do not count against the two remaining locked hunts on General Drheller.  After three failures the mouse population includes all 4 Generals once more, and hunters may encounter a different General. Upon the capture of a General, hunters' progress in the Iceberg is saved, and they cannot be pushed back to a previous zone.
-====[[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]]====
+If a mouse is caught near the end of a zone that would advance a hunter beyond the start of the next zone, the following message is displayed on the Journal:
-''This envelope contains an assignment to research a trap capable of capturing Zurreal the Eternal. The Trap's concept is simple: Tempt Zurreal close by displaying a collection of rare knowledge then drain all magical and electrical energy from the area to disable his walking throne. Although the design is straight forward, gathering the rare and unique items required will prove itself to be a challenge! Good luck brave hunter, the safety of the [[Crystal Library]] relies on your success!''
+:''I caught an '''X''' Mouse and advanced through the Iceberg, but was stopped by a General! A challenge awaits!''
+If a mouse is caught near the end of a zone that advances a hunter perfectly to the end of their current zone, the above message is not displayed.
-'''Requirement:''' 900 [[Library Points]]<br/>
+{| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin:5px 20px 20px 20px; font-size:90%; text-align:center; border-collapse:collapse;" class="wikitable sortable"
-''Travel across the Kingdom in search of supplies to build a trap capable of disabling Zurreal the Eternal's walking throne long enough to capture him. Such a trap will need some very unique materials to draw all magical and electrical energy away from Zurreal while remaining powered itself.''

-===Mice with Special Requirements===
-*[[M400]] – This mouse will sometimes be available in the [[Crystal Library]] when Hunters are actively working an [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]]. It is attracted only to [[Fusion Fondue]] which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.
-==Hunting Strategy==
+:Note:
-Mice in the [[Crystal Library]] are weak only to [[Physical]] or [[Tactical]] weapons. [[Standard Cheese]] will attract all mice in the [[Crystal Library]], except the [[Tome Sprite Mouse]], which is attracted only to {{SB}}.
+:*[[Frostlance Guard]] is always present.
+:*If within 425 hunts:
+:**[[Frostwing Commander]] is present only on the first run through the Iceberg.
+:**[[Icewing]] is present on subsequent runs.
+:*After 425 hunts:
+:**[[Frostwing Commander]] is always present.
+:**[[Icewing]] is no longer present.
-Hunters can accept a variety of [[Library Assignment]]s in the [[Crystal Library]]. Accumulating [[Library Points]] by completing [[Library Assignment]]s will allow Hunters to accept more difficult assignments.
+Hunters complete the Iceberg by catching [[Frostwing Commander]] or [[Icewing]]; given the above rules, only one of those two mice is ever present, depending on the number of times through the Iceberg and number of hunts taken so far.
-[[Zurreal the Eternal]] can only be captured once Hunters have crafted [[Zurreal's Folly]] and obtained a [[Scholar Charm]], which can be done by completing the [[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]].<br/>
+After the first invasion defeat, the following message is displayed in the journal if completed within 425 hunts:
-The [[Zurreal Trap Research Assignment]] requires 900 [[Library Points]] to begin, but Hunters can earn the necessary [[Library Points]] '''and''' create [[Scholar Charm]]s by undertaking [[Advanced Zugzwang Research]] assignments.  These assignments require 150 [[Library Points]] to accept, require capturing a [[Chess Master]] in [[Zugzwang's Tower]], and reward 150 [[Library Points]] upon completion. Hunters should remember to take [[Uncharged Scholar Charm]]s with them when entering [[Zugzwang's Tower]] as they will not be able to leave that location without losing all of their [[Tower Amplifier]] charge.
+:''I successfully fought through the Iceberg in X hunts, saving the good people of Gnawnia from the wrath of Icewing's invasion! In amongst the Iceberg's wreckage is X bonus chests!''
+If too many hunts were taken, the message is shorter:
+:''I successfully fought through the Iceberg in X hunts, saving the good people of Gnawnia from the wrath of Icewing's invasion!''
-The [[M400]] mouse can only be encountered if Hunters complete the [[M400 Bait Research Assignment]] so that they can craft [[Fusion Fondue]] and then complete the steps of the [[M400 Hunting Research Assignment]] in order to encounter the [[M400]].
+After defeating Icewing using [[Steam Laser Mk. II]], the hunter's weapon is converted to [[Steam Laser Mk. II (Broken!)]], with this message in the journal:
+:''Fueled by her terrible defeat at your hands, Icewing has destroyed and defaced your trap in a fit of icy rage! But in her haste, she seems to have [[Steam Nine|dropped something]] – perhaps combining it with the destroyed trap parts will create a trap she ''truly'' fears!''
-===Location-Specific Effects===
+After the second defeat of Icewing, the following message is displayed in the journal:
-====Charms====
+:''The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once.Leaping from the crumbling wreckage, you notice a tunnel collapsing in the distance. If only you had more time and a safe method to preserve the Iceberg's structure, perhaps you could have explored it!''
-* The [[Uncharged Scholar Charm]] must be charged by catching a [[Chess Master Mouse]] in [[Zugzwang's Tower]]. Doing so creates a [[Scholar Charm]].
-* The [[Scholar Charm]] must be armed with the [[Zurreal's Folly]] trap in order to attract and catch [[Zurreal the Eternal]].
-====Traps====
+After defeating Icewing using [[Deep Freeze Base]] within 249 hunts, the following message is displayed in the journal (except when [[Steam Laser Mk. II]] was also armed), as the hunter enters the Hidden Depths:
-* The [[Zurreal's Folly]] trap is the only trap capable of catching [[Zurreal the Eternal]] and must be equipped along with a [[Scholar Charm]] in order to attract and capture [[Zurreal the Eternal]].
+:''The Iceberg begins to shudder and shake, no longer held together by Icewing's terrible magic. Her capture sets off explosions that rip through walls, collapsing entire sections at once. In response, your Deep Freeze Base emits an icy chill, and the explosions slow and then cease. The Iceberg continues to shudder distressingly, but you judge you have (250-X) hunts remaining to explore.
-===[[Adventure Book]]===
+===Hidden Depths===
-Hunters can [[Capture Zurreal the Eternal]] in the [[Crystal Library]] by luring [[Zurreal the Eternal]] to his folly with a [[Scholar Charm]].
+The Hidden Depths has a distance of 200 feet, and can only be reached by defeating [[Icewing]] with the [[Deep Freeze Base]] armed, prior to hunt 250.  While in this area, the heads-up display adds an additional progress meter, with the following hint:

+:''It's too dangerous to hunt here any longer! With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, swearing to return next time and conquer!''
-=== Hunting tips by [[Larry]] ===
+===The Deep Lair===
-The Crystal Library is an ancient trove of knowledge passed down through generations of only the most honored and powerful wizards; it was last under the care of Zugzwang before he vanished.
-In the absence of Zugzwang a powerful mouse known as Zurreal the Eternal has managed to infiltrate the library's defences where he has unleashed an army of mechanical and magical mice to destroy the knowledge the library holds.
+The [[Deep]] Mouse is the only mouse that can be attracted at the end of the 200 feet.
-Your task is to defend the library and conduct research to rebuild the knowledge that has been lost. To start your research, pick an envelope to receive an assignment. Each individual envelope may contain one of many similarly-themed assignments.

+After defeating Deep Mouse, the hunter is automatically transported to [[Slushy Shoreline]] and the following message is displayed in the journal:
+:''With the Deep Mouse in your trap, the Iceberg finally begins to crack apart around you. With seconds to spare, you jump in your life raft and paddle furiously away, laughing about your incredible victory!''
+== Hunting Strategy ==
+Standard cheese such as [[Brie]] or [[Gouda]] may be used in this location. The mice in this location are weak to Hydro-type weapons. Hunters can purchase bags of [[Sticky Charm|Sticky]] or [[Wax Charm|Wax]] charms in the General Store, which have special effects on Bergling mouse subclass. Sticky charms tend to average a higher overall foot-per-hunt rate than Wax charms. After obtaining sufficient amount of [[Bottled Cold Fusion]], hunters may craft bases with special effects on other subclasses: [[Magnet Base]], [[Spiked Base]], [[Remote Detonator Base]], [[Hearthstone Base]], and [[Deep Freeze Base]].
+Hunters can use a [[Drill Charge]] to advance additional distance; for the best effect, the hunters may wish to wait on drilling until they have obtained all the craftable bases, and make the attempt for the Treasure Chest.  Since the Mad Depths has the lowest average feet per hunt, saving the Drill Charges for that region will minimize the hunts required to reach Icewing's Lair.
+Prior to obtaining [[Deep Freeze Base]] and entering Hidden Depths, only one [[Icewing]] or [[Frostwing Commander]] can be caught per run, and which one is encountered is determined by the number of hunts taken. Additional Frostwing Commanders can be caught in the Hidden Depths, but not more Icewing. Hunters desiring to maximize the number of [[Living Salt]] mice attracted can intentionally stale cheese by arming a non-Hydro weapon while waiting for the required number of hunts to elapse.  Hunters desiring to catch a specific [[#Generals|General]] can intentionally arm a non-Hydro weapon until the first time the desired general is attracted, then use the next two locked hunts to catch that mouse.  Mice in this area can steal cheese (including [[White Cheddar]]), gold, or points, but if a hunter arms only one piece of cheese at a time, and converts gold into standard cheese (which can be refunded for the same amount of gold later on), then intentionally missing mice can be limited to only risking the loss of points.
+While it is possible to reach the [[Deep Mouse]] using [[Gouda]] cheese, it is extremely rare without the use of the [[School of Sharks]] weapon.  Use of {{SB}}, or waiting for high-attraction [[Event]] cheese (such as [[Runny]] cheese during the [[Great Gnawnian Games]]), makes it easier to minimize hunts when using only the [[Steam Laser Mk. III]] or [[Phantasmic Oasis Trap]].  When hunting for the [[Deep Mouse]], the [[Deep Freeze Base]] must be used to catch [[Icewing]], but other bases can be used on all other hunts.  While the [[Deep Mouse]] is difficult to catch before hunt 250, the final hunt is a guaranteed catch if the mouse is attracted (even with a wrong power type), so hunters are advised to use {{SB}} if they reach the final hunt, to avoid a failure to attract.
+===Adventure Book===
+Hunters can complete the [[Hunt for Icewing]] by catching [[Icewing]] in the [[Iceberg]] using the [[Steam Laser Mk. II]] to recover [[Zugzwang's Scarf]].
+===Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
+Our brave and daring scouts have reported that the Iceberg is broken up into five distinct zones with different mice in each.  The further down you go, the more dangerous it becomes!
+<b>Treacherous Tunnels:</b> Tunnel Rats roam these halls, ever-expanding the Iceberg's tunnel network.  Their tools can be put to use making your <i>own</i> tunnels, so catch as many of them as you can!
-Completing assignments will earn you rewards related to where your assignment took you as well as Library Points to show you're ready to start more varied and challenging assignments!
+<b>Brutal Bulwark:</b> Dangerous Brutes live here, and they'll knock you silly!  At the very least, they'll knock you back a few paces, slowing you drastically.  If only you could find a way to stop them...
-Your research will no doubt take you far and wide and test your knowledge of hunting! With enough knowledge you may even be able to discover how to find the elusive Zurreal...
+<b>Bombing Run:</b> Bomb Squad mice use high explosives to carve huge caverns and trip up intruders.  But if you could turn their bombs against them, you could certainly speed up your descent.
-== Shops ==
+<b>The Mad Depths:</b> Mad Zealot mice prowl here.  They are both hard to catch and powerful – they will knock you back if you don't catch them.  Avoiding them would be best.
-This is the only shop that can be found in the [[Crystal Library]]:
+<b>Icewing's Lair:</b> Icewing herself commands the Iceberg's deployment from here, deep in the heart of the Iceberg.  Be brave in facing her, hunter, as she will give no quarter!
+If you check the shops, there's loads of new gear to help you combat these new dangers, including ''[[Wax Charm]]s'' and ''[[Sticky Charm]]s'', which have specific uses against Bergling mice, whom you'll find in every zone.
+Floating in the path of the Iceberg are three bonus chests holding supplies for the icy invasion.  If you can defeat the Iceberg before it reaches them, their contents will be yours!  If the Iceberg crashes into them, their contents will be lost to you as they float ashore to be used by the invaders, so work quickly for the most rewards!
+==Location-Specific Effects==
